J Metro sets IHM record: multi-week charting plus two singles in the top 10 on the same Billboard chart

Posted By : IHM, Posted On : January 19, 2013

This week, J Metro becomes the first indiehitmaker.com / PolyPlat Records artist to land two titles in the top 10 of the same Billboard chart in the same week. “Shades of Gray” is the number #1 single in the Unites States on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart this week (Issue Date: Issue Date 1/19/13) just after the single’s debut the previous week. If that weren’t enough to get excited about, J Metro’s single, “Baby,” debuts on the same chart this week at #9!

Here’s the recap:

No. 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart with “Shades of Gray” (3rd straight week on the charts)

No. 9 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart with “Baby”

Congrats, J Metro on quite an accomplishment! We love seeing artists get the credit they deserve!

NOW ANY ARTIST CAN REPORT

IndieHitMaker exists because artists cannot directly report their live show sales to SoundScan. Only record labels and distribution companies that pay the annual fees and fit the mandated requirements can qualify for this exclusive program. Since most independent and unsigned artists sell the majority of their CDs at live shows, without IndieHitMaker these sales would go unreported and unaccounted for in US SoundScan sales numbers making it next to impossible for industry executives, deal makers, and A&R to discover you. By simply reporting all your sales to SoundScan, you can significantly increase your awareness within the industry. Sell enough and everyone will know when you get on the Billboard Charts.
