The highest-ranked Grammy gainer on the chart is SZA’s former No. 1 SOS, which climbs 6-3 with 53,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 8 (up 27%), according to Luminate. On the Grammy Awards, SZA won the best R&B song award for “Snooze” and performed a medley of “Snooze” and “Kill Bill.” The latter was also nominated for record of the year and song of the year. (SZA additionally won Grammys for best progressive R&B album [for SOS] and best pop duo/group performance for the set’s “Ghost in the Machine,” featuring Phoebe Bridgers, but those awards were not presented during the TV broadcast.)


SZA’s previous album, 2017’s Ctrl, also logs a gain, rising 38-30 with 20,000 units (up 12%).


Taylor Swift, who was a multiple nominee and two-time winner at the 2024 Grammy Awards, has 10 gaining albums on the chart, with three in the top 10. Swift took home the prizes for album of the year and best pop vocal album (both for Midnights). With the album of the year win, she became the first act to claim the trophy four times. She was nominated for four more awards – record of the year, song of the year, pop solo performance (all for “Anti-Hero”) and best pop duo/group performance (“Karma,” featuring Ice Spice). Swift’s highest-ranked gaining title on the Billboard 200 is her former No. 1 Midnights, which rises 9-5 with 51,000 units (up 35%).


Here’s a recap of all the artists that post gains on the Billboard 200 (dated Feb. 17) following their exposure on the Grammy Awards. On the broadcast, nine competitive award categories were presented (in chronological order): best pop solo performance, best música urbana album, best country album, best R&B song, best pop vocal album, song of the year, best new artist, record of the year and album of the year. There are a total of 94 competitive categories in total. The vast majority of awards are not presented during the television broadcast.


Performer and winner SZA sizzles with SOS (rising 6-3 with 53,000; up 38%) and Ctrl (38-30 with 20,000; up 12%).


Noah Kahan, who was among the best new artist nominees, sees his Stick Season post an increase, but is pushed down the chart 7-4 (49,000; up 4%).


Swift has a whopping 10 titles on the chart, all of which gain: Midnights (9-5 with 51,000; up 35%), 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (5-8 with 48,000; up 7%), Lover (7-9 with 45,000; up 13%), Folklore (13-14 with 32,000; up 15%), Reputation (16-15 with 30,000; up 15%), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (26-25 with 23,000; up 10%), Evermore (34-26 with 21,000; up 11%), Red (Taylor’s Version) (33-28 with 21,000; up 8%), Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (73-63 with 14,000; up 12%) and 1989 (67-65 with 14,000; up 7%).


Zach Bryan, whose self-titled album was among the nominees for best country album, posts a unit gain with that set (8-10 with 42,000; up 5%), Elisabeth (113-116 with 10,000; up 2%) and Summertime Blues (159-154 with 9,000; up 2%). The best country album prize was won by Lainey Wilson’s Bell Bottom Country. Bryan, however, did win a Grammy this year (his first ever), but it was not presented on the broadcast. He won for best country duo/group performance for his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves. (As for Wilson, Bell Bottom Country flies 118-95 with 11,000 units; up 10%).


Travis Scott, who performed a medley of three songs from his Utopia album (“My Eyes, “I Know?” and “Fe!n”) with Playboi Carti, sees Utopia hold steady at No. 12, though with a 10% unit gain (to 36,000). Utopia was also a nominee for best rap album, which was won by Killer Mike’s Michael. Scott also gains with his prior albums Astroworld (69-68 with 14,000; up 5%) and Rodeo (195-187 with 8,000; up 3%).


Performer and multiple nominee Olivia Rodrigo rises with a pair of albums: Guts (17-16 with 28,000; up 10%) and Sour (32-31 with 20,000; up 5%). On the show, she performed Guts single “Vampire.” Rodrigo was nominated for six Grammys this year, including album of the year and best pop vocal album (for Guts), record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance (for “Vampire”) and best rock song (Guts’ “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl”).


Performer Luke Combs, who sang his nominated cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” with Chapman herself on the show, sees gains for three of his albums on the chart. Gettin’ Old bumps 31-22 (24,000; up 25%), This One’s for You rises 49-45 (17,000; up 8%) and What You See Is What You Get climbs 82-75 (13,000; up 7%). “Fast Car” was nominated for, but did not win, best country solo performance.


Meanwhile, Chapman re-enters the Billboard 200 at No. 59 with her 1988 self-titled chart-topping album (which contains her original version of “Fast Car”), earning 15,000 units (up 658%). It’s the album’s first appearance on the chart since 1989. It’s also Chapman’s first visit to the chart with any album since the Dec. 12, 2015-dated chart, with her Greatest Hits album spent one week on the list at No. 105.


The Barbie soundtrack bounces 35-32 on the Billboard 200 with 20,000 units earned (up 8%). The album basks in the glow of a pair of performances on the show – Dua Lipa’s show-opening medley (which included a small segment of the album’s “Dance the Night”) and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” Both songs earned multiple nominations this year: “Dance” for song of the year and best song written for visual media, “What Was I Made For” for record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best song written for visual media, and best music video. Mark Ronson, who presented the record of the year award on the show (with his mother-in-law, Meryl Streep), was a five-time nominee this year for his work on the Barbie album. Of the five nominations, he took home the trophy for best compilation soundtrack for visual media for Barbie. (Streep herself is a seven-time Grammy nominee, and scored a nod this year for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording for Big Tree.)


Speaking of Lipa and Eilish, Lipa’s Future Nostalgia rises 126-108 (10,000 units; up 9%), while Eilish’s Happier Than Ever climbs 136-132 (10,000; up 4%) and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? steps 124-112 (10,000; up 6%).


Miley Cyrus, who performed on the show and won two awards, vaults 139-37 with Endless Summer Vacation (18,000; up 101%). Cyrus won her first Grammys this year: best pop solo performance and record of the year for “Flowers,” which she performed.


21 Savage, who joined Burna Boy and Brandy for a medley performance, sees two of his albums post gains: Her Loss, with Drake (48-49 with 17,000; up 1%), and Savage Mode II, with Metro Boomin (99-100 with 11,000; up 2%). 21 Savage also scored five nominations this year, though none of the categories he was competing in were presented during the show.


Lana Del Rey, who scored five nominations this year, including for song of the year (“A&W”) and album of the year (Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.), has a trio of albums that gain on the chart. Born To Die bolts 65-51 (16,000; up 18%), Did You Know re-enters at No. 97 (11,000; up 50%) and Ultraviolence re-enters at No. 189 (8,000; up 21%). Del Rey was also brought up onstage by Swift when the latter won album of the year for Midnights. (Del Rey is featured on a song on Midnights, and was also vying for album of the year with Did You Know.)

The Record re-enters at No. 191 with 8,000 units and a gain of 59%.
