Geoff Mayfield, Billboard's Director of Charts said, "As the music industry shifts through a fast and dramatic evolution, Billboard is constantly on the alert for new data sources from newer technology to compliment our menu of traditional sales and radio charts. Adding the TuneCore chart fits that expansion, and TuneCore's ground-eye-view of digital transactions will allow the music fans who visit Billboard.com to become acquainted with a new flank of independent artists and unsigned acts."

TuneCore.com has changed the 100-year-old rules and model of the music business. It is a low, flat fee service that delivers anyone's music to iTunes, eMusic, Amazonmp3 and many other major download sites while taking no rights and no revenue from the sale of the music.
Artists are building careers, selling significant volumes of music and generating revenue while keeping their rights utilizing the new model created by TuneCore. TuneCore has delivered the music of Keith Richards, Bjork, Jay-Z, Public Enemy and thousands of others to the digital download stores.
