Tracy Chapman Shoots to Number One on iTunes After Surprise Grammys Performance

Aside from a standing ovation, and clear tears in her eyes to be receiving such love, the reclusive singer quickly found both her song and the album from which it came flying up the iTunes charts.

A Chapman fan account shared one post on X (formerly Twitter) from Sunday night that touted her 1988 version of the single sitting at number one.

By Monday morning, it had settled for a still-lofty number two, coming in just behind Miley Cyrus' Record of the Year, "Flowers," which was also performed at the show. She's also sitting two spots ahead of Combs' cover, at number four, as of this writing.

Perhaps even more impressive, though, is that Chapman's self-titled album containing "Fast Car" jumped all the way to number one on the Top Albums chart, while her Greatest Hits is sitting at number three -- both of them surrounding Taylor Swift's Album of the Year, Midnights, at number two.

It was a moment 35 years in the making, as Combs' cover brought the song to a whole new genre and generation. Since his single took off last year, fans have been clamoring for the two artists to come together, finally getting to see that moment on Sunday night.

In a video prelude to their performance, Combs talked about how impactful the album and this song in particular had been to him growing up. "Tracy Chapman is such an icon, and one of the greatest artists that I think any of us will be along to see," he said. "It's a full circle moment for me. Just to be associated with her in any way is super humbling for me."

Now that association has been expanded to include one of the most memorable and iconic Grammys performances of all time, which you can watch below.
