<p>According to a <a href="http://www.nielsenpreview.com/member/study_detail.php?id=1112" target="_blank">new study</a> by Nielsen PreView, not surprisingly, album sales and digital tracks do go up following a Super Bowl half-time performance.  However, not all artist sales are equal and not all markets respond similarly.</p>
<p>The study, which analyzed music sales of the past four Super Bowl half-time acts, reveals that sales have risen as much as 300+%, particularly when the artist&#8217;s performance is well-received.  However, according to the research, much of this growth can be attributed to a desire for consumers to reacquaint themselves with a star.  In fact, markets with the weakest artist sales prior to the Super Bowl experienced the greatest lifts in sales following the Super Bowl.</p>
