Rising Over The Boss
A nice analysis of how Norah Jones’ yearlong slow burn up the charts resulted in her Grammy victory over Springsteen.

Then came a series of late-night talk show performances — she’s done the “Tonight” show three times now — each one causing a noticeable spike, though hardly a stampede. She was profiled on National Public Radio, toured with Dave Matthews over the summer, and was finally added to MTV’s lineup around the same time.
