 >> Info on Soundscan <<
Nielsen SoundScan is the sales source for the Billboard music charts.
SoundScan is an information system that tracks sales of music and music video products throughout the United States and Canada.
Any band can claim they've sold 2,000 units without distribution, but if you can prove it with Soundscan numbers and show that you're consistently drawing big numbers through your live shows, it will be that much easier to eventually get signed.

 Welcome to a new way of looking at Nielsen
Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) operates in the U.S. and Canada as the world’s leading provider of over-the-air music monitoring.
Using “pattern recognition technology,” BDS can identify more than one million songs played on more than 1,100 radio stations in real time in 130 markets throughout the U.S. As a radio station plays a song, BDS technology identifies the song and logs the exact time, date, and station for that play.
This includes measuring box office results; tracking music, video/DVD, and book sales; as well as conducting marketing research on motion pictures.
