Billboard Year End Charts 2017

The last year of the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart was dominated by IHM artists, taking up ten of the top twenty-five spots, and the entirety of the top five for the year. Although the removal of this chart is a big blow to independent artists presence on Billboard, we are proud and excited that the last ever chart features IHM artists at the top.

Syreeta Thompson Trumpetlady

Syreeta Thompson held the largest number of #1 seats this year with 24 for her album Evolution Of A Winner, across the Jazz Albums, Contemporary Jazz Albums, and Contemporary Jazz Album Artists charts. Visit Syreeta’s official website, here.

Syreeta Thompson’s success was fueled by a great release plan. Learn more about how Indiehitmaker can help you build one of your own here.
