#1 on AMAZON
July 1, 2010
So many people on my facebook and Twitter saw me skyrocket on the
Amazon rankings after they (Amazon.com) agreed to give my album away for
free.
It took many months to make this happen, negotiating with TuneCore and
having them contact Amazon to finally put it through.
Once they actually made my album free, downloads skyrocketed, and I saw in
literally one day, that I shot past Eminem, Drake and even Miley Cyrus.
Some other feats included:
- Over 12,000 blogs & sites picked it up and linked to my Amazon page
- I received over 60+ album reviews
- I'm #3 on Google if you search for "female rapper"
Unfortunately though, the Big Record Labels complained (the same ones that
are reaching out to me) and had me removed from the rankings.
I was lucky enough to get a screen shot from a fan though.
My music is free for you. Support
