Beyoncé was the big winner at the Grammy Awards in the US last night, taking home six statues including best female pop vocal performance for Halo and song of the year for Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).
Country up-and-comer Taylor Swift followed closely with four Grammys, including album of the year for Fearless. Kings of Leon meanwhile won the night's top award, record of the year, with Use Somebody.
Beyoncé may have set a record for the most awards won by a female solo artist in one year (she now has sixteen Grammys in total, including those won with former group Destiny's Child), but does Grammys success mean success in the British music charts? The Official Charts Company has taken the winners in ten of the main Grammy categories over the last five years and charted their peak position in the UK top 200.
A quick look at the data shows that Coldplay and U2 are the only Grammy-winning artists who also scored a UK number one with the same single. Seven of the winning albums also held the UK number one spot, but the Grammys don't always mean UK success. Of the records that were released in this country, seven of the singles and two of the albums peaked outside the top 40, including a chart position of 115 for John Mayer's single Waiting for the World to Change and 192 for Herbie Hancock's album River: The Joni Letters.
