If you haven't yet heard, SINGLE MUSIC is the industry app that's been creating a buzz with labels, merch companies and independent artists alike as the new and easy way to sell their merch and music directly to fans while keeping a larger portion of revenues. Aligned with Shopify, the new D2C paradigm offers instant reporting to Nielsen for official Billboard chart tallying while allowing artists to run their own presales, single campaigns or album bundle campaigns instantly, while maintaining complete access to their customer's data.

Created by entrepreneur and musician Tommy Stalknecht, who is the CEO of the Nashville based company, SINGLE MUSIC now has over 500 artistscurrently signed up for their service, including Lil Peep, Sheck Wes, Toro Y Moi, Chromeo and newcomers T-Pain, Aaron Lewis and Lil Pump.
SINGLE MUSIC recently launched their white labeling process, which allows the paradigm to be completely behind-the-scenes from purchase to download. Their campaign for Lil Pump was one of the first to institute this process and has sold 28k units to date.
"Working with Single Music was a dream come true. Every step along the way, Tommy and his staff were beyond accommodating and helpful. The process of distributing digital music to clients and reporting to Nielsen SoundScan is a daunting task and Single was able to do it seamlessly and for an extremely fair rate. They will be integrated from day 1 on all of our ongoing campaigns."
