Landing a Lifetime Achievement Award and
performing at the BRIT Awards gave a 500 percent boost to sales
of Paul McCartney's latest album "Memory Almost Full" in just
one day, retailers said on Friday.
The British music industry's big night of the year on
Wednesday gave stars a fillip across the board with Mark
Ronson, Kylie Minogue and Take That all enjoying much improved
sales.
Gennaro Castaldo from retailers HMV said: "The impact of
the BRITs on artist profiles and album sales is becoming more
pronounced each year."
