The awards are more heavily influenced by album sales than subjective judgements of musical quality.

Do you know who Jon Batiste is?

The album won on quality. The sales spiked after the win.

That's a good counterexample. Do you know what "more heavily influenced" means? It means "not always universally every time, but more often".

I have no idea what you're trying to say. It's not a counter example. It is literally the example given in the article, which you quoted.
