Glen Campbell’s music is selling…
Luke Bryan combined his app and fan club…
Glen Campbell's music has always been popular, but sales of his music skyrocketed since news of his death on Tuesday.
Sales shot up almost 14,000 percent (that's an increase of 140 times!) yesterday, with most of the purchases coming from two of his Greatest Hits albums.
Sales of individual songs went up almost 7,000 percent (70 times) and streams grew 902 percent.
Though we knew his death was coming, it still clearly had a major impact on his fans.
Luke Bryan fans will now be able to keep up with all things Luke through both his Nut House fan club and his app, which have been linked together.
He explained. “We’ve been so amazed at how the fans have responded to the app. Creating the link between the fan club members and the mobile fans seemed the perfect next step. We love being able to have instantaneous responses and communication with them.”
The new combination is called the All Access Pass and enables fans to get exclusive information, live streams, photos from every show, chances at meet-and-greets and more.

Brett Eldredge’s album has a strong start…
Miranda Lambert could be ready for marriage again…
Brett Eldredge released his self-titled album on Friday and it's already number-one on the iTunes all-genre and country charts.
It's a great accomplishment, but according to Brett it's not what really matters to his fans.
He says, "When it comes down to it the fans--my fans or any fans, they don't think about it in a way of how many it sold, they just know how it makes them feel in their heart."
As mentioned before- rumor has it Miranda Lambert and Anderson East will be engaged soon.
An insider told E! News that he wants to propose by the end of the year. According to the source, the two are "extremely serious" and have been tied at the hip since they started dating in December of 2015.
And the news doesn't stop there. The source also said, "They would like to have children once they get married. This has been shared and discussed between them."
