Smarter Chart Reporting for DTC Album Sales on Shopify

Carrier tracking, one unified sales view and faster insights, so every eligible sale counts.

What's New

At Single, we're all about making it easier for artists and their teams to hit the charts. That takes more than reporting sales: every eligible sale has to be tracked, matched to the right chart week and counted without a hitch. So Single's chart reporting tools are built to take that weight off you, with carrier tracking, one view of every sale and a clear read on what's reporting, so you can focus on the release.

How It Works

It starts the moment a shipment moves and follows every sale through to the chart:

Direct carrier integration: Single connects with 100+ carriers through EasyPost, so tracking updates arrive as soon as a shipment is on the move. Luminate requires those updates for reporting, so a delay reaching Shopify never costs you an eligible sale.
All your sales in one view: Digital, physical, fan packs and boxed sets live together, so there's no jumping between pages to see how a release is doing.
Smart chart week selector: Pick your release date and the relevant Billboard chart week appears automatically, so your sales are always tracked in the right timeframe.
Advanced search: Dig deeper by UPC, product name or format, then save custom views to share with your team or follow specific products over time.
Sales status tracking: See at a glance what's been reported, what's been blocked and what's still queued, with no guessing and no surprises.
Hourly updates: Data refreshes every hour, so whether you're watching first-day numbers or the week unfold, you always have the latest picture.

Why It Matters

All of that adds up to quick answers: what your Week 1 reported totals are, why a sale didn't report and how many are still on their way. And it scales, from a first drop to a massive catalog, so every sale gets counted when it matters most. That's what Single has always been about: helping artists own their sales, their data and their fan relationships, with millions of albums and hundreds of No. 1s reported along the way. Because you sell your music right through your Shopify store, every sale builds your connection with fans, and the first-party data stays yours, independent of Single.
