Ben Howard's Brits Awards 2013 success has seen his album sales increase by a whopping 4,600% in the Amazon music charts.
The 'Only Love' singer picked up two gongs at this year's Brits winning both British Breakthrough and Best British male as well as performing on the night.
It seems to have paid off, as his album Every Kingdom is currently number one on the Amazon music chart - closely followed by Mumford & Sons' Babel.
Vice President of EU Retail at Amazon, Xavier Garambois said: "In terms of chart impact, Ben Howard was the big winner of the night.
"Whilst most people own albums by Mumford & Sons and Emeli Sandé, there was certainly less who were aware of Ben Howard’s music, let alone had purchased his album.
"The double Brits win last night has resulted in a massive uplift in sales and he could be at the top of the music charts for a long time to come.”
