More examples of how the movies and TV can sell music:
– Sales of Brandi Carlile’s “The Story” rose 15 percent after her song showed up in “Grey’s Anatomy.”
– Jennifer Lopez’s “Como Ama una Mujer” enjoyed a 24,000-copy boost after her appearance on “American Idol,” bumping it up 21 spots on the Top 40 and driving increased iTunes downloads.
– After the 2004 film “Garden State,” in which Natalie Portman (left) says The Shins’ music “will change your life,” the band saw an increase in attendance at its shows.
