Johnny Depp's Keith Richards Act Boosts Black Keys Sales


MTV Movie Awards really hit duet numbers

Sorry, Barack Obama, the music industry may have a new savior and his name is Johnny Depp. The week after he put on a Keith Richards-like wardrobe and picked up a guitar to join the Black Keys on stage at the MTV Movie Awards, Billboard reports that sales of the last album the band recorded The Way 18 per cent increase in sales, equivalent to about 10,000 copies. On the other hand, Depp plays two songs - "Gold in the ceiling" and "Lonely Boy" - each sold 30 percent and 19 percent from the previous week.

It does not end there. "The key performance Black, Johnny Depp was the greatest musical moment of the night and it shows in our strong after-sales performance," said Livia Tortella, co-president/COO of Warner Bros. Records, Billboard magazine. "Not only" Gold on the Ceiling "naturally benefit from their performance, but we also saw a healthy increase over some of the band's previous albums and singles." There is a reason that forced him to star in all the sequels Pirates of the Caribbean people.

But while the appearance of Mr. Edward Scissorhands, which also received the MTV Generation, helped bring together 3 million viewers who saw Russell Brand hosted the ceremony, other artists benefited from sales increases after the show , too. Wiz Khalifa, who performed "Work Hard, Play Hard," saw her selling song downloads by 37 percent over the previous week, and fun., Which he joined at the show Janelle MonĂ¡e to help remind everyone how young they were, benefited from a 33 percent increase in sales of the album (although individual sales are falling).
