Daft Punk ‘Random Access Memories’ Sales Skyrocketed To 200 Percent After ‘Get Lucky’ Success In This Year’s Grammys

Daft Punk Tour 2014: The group Daft Punk's Grammy award winning album 'Random Access Memories' went up the charts just after the Sunday's CBS showing of the 2014 Grammys following the success of their hit song 'Get Lucky'.

The song went up the charts from number 51 to number three on Amazon's best selling MP3's.

Daft Punk together with Pharell Williams, Nile Rodgers and the one and only Stevie Wonder rocked the Grammys and stole the show after their very heartfelt and hair raising performance of their hit song 'Get Lucky'.

The performance garnered a lot of positive response and even seen in a video where all artists including Jay Z, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Steve Tyler danced to the groovy tune of the hit song.

The duo's latest album Random Access Memories became a huge hit in the last year and grabbed tons of awards during the Grammys including Best Dance/Electronica Album, Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical), Record of the Year and the duo and Pharell got the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the hit song.

In recent years, the electronic group has been nominated numerous times for Grammys, also winning the Best Dance Recording for another hit song "Harder Better Faster Stronger" and Best Electronic/Dance Album for the record "Alive 2007", in the 2009 Grammys.

Reporters and critics talked about how the success of the Random Access Memories Album has come to how it is.

"Taking eight years to make an album tends to mean that everyone forgets about you. With Daft Punk it has simply fuelled speculation," wrote Will Hodgkinson in British newspaper The Times of the album.

"Random Access Memories is a blend of disco, robotic vocals, soft rock and smooth easy listening that really shouldn't work but does - brilliantly," he continued.

And British magazine NME hailed it as an "ambitious masterpiece you can't imagine being made by anyone other than Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo."
