No matter what happens, you don't need validation from "Billboard" charts to know who you are and how popular, meaningful and powerful your music is. Your Pro America message is inspiring and makes a difference. Thank you Nova and Tom!

You are definitely not wrong, B T. The problem is that Tom and other independent artists would be able to make even more sales (music as well as merchandise) if the billboards would report accurate information without bias against independent artists. Keep up the fight, Tom and Nova, eventually they will notice enough public backlash to do the right thing.
@Linzeebeehiking2 роки тому
I don't think it was validation at all. It was to get their message out to the entire world. By putting your name on the chart, you're getting people to look you up and see your message. The validation comes as a cherry on top.

As an ecommerce guy, let me explain why logging into store backend should provide verification of Tom's numbers... Every transaction will have a transaction ID along with payment verification from the credit card processor....this cannot be faked or scammed in on the backend. Billboard clearly does not want to accept information Tom & crew.

I’m 7 minutes in and this is interesting, but I want to know which data collection agency you were in contact with. I report physical sales to billboard independently every album and initially I had to give them access to the website’s backend, which I did. They’ve never asked about publishing or anything of that nature. They did count the physical sales though, which were in the thousands. I’m sure I can help.

OMG Tom I can completely 1000% agree with you. I was opening for top line DJ’s, 1000’s of followers, thousands of downloads, even European tours. But I never existed 🤷🏻 all because I managed myself.

But i took a look at your work and following/results and its impressive and i understand why they feel threaten! Keep the good work dude!
@steverey83622 роки тому
I can explain the abnormally high sales: the music industry is selling manure disguised as music while independent artists are the only ones releasing quality songs. They can't afford to allow it to be so obvious that literally everyone can see that as fact! I plan to buy your album as a 54th birthday gift for myself. Keep up the quality music!

Unfortunately, unless you go through the “gate keepers” an independent artist doesn’t get the recognition they deserve. It is all about money. Because your money isn’t going to EMI, Sony, etc. they won’t allow you to play on the play ground.
