I promise they won’t get away with this y’all! Download “The Brave”. Lets give em the data they want. vydia.lnk.to/TheBrave
Oh they understand it alright. They're gate-keeping. Most of everything we know about the world and history is a lie perpetrated by the tribe/cult we're not allowed to criticize.
"We reviewed your top ranking sales, and we feel it isn't supported by numbers we see from all the SoundCloud mumble rappers whose only copies sell to their immediate friends and family". Lol
Reach out to a good attorney!!
Dear Tom, put your faith in Messiah Yahushewah over billboards and the music industry. I hope this helps:

In 2006 I was in the top 10 most subscribed users at RUclips and actually put the first ever paid partner (Terry Roth aka Zipster) on the map I was falsely suspended effectively costing me over $60 million dollars in revenue true story welcome to the world of censorship and dirty business deals! I was actually suspended on Facebook for sharing brainwashed!

They arent that stupid. They believe how much you've sold. They watch you carefully enough to know. Thats just the excuse they are using to lock you out.
I'm sure the companies are "comitted to keep their territory theirs". They don't want the winds to change. They probably pay people or exchange favors to get what they want.

Yes they are. People don't know how to read anymore.
The music industry is trash….. happy to see people waking up…. Love you Tom!

While I hate the music industry, no musician/artist would be here without it.
@@Fusion05 that's kinda the point, right?
How bout we make are own billboard? Legacy media on its way out.
@@Fusion05 what? That's not true, big music industry is a new thing already being destroyed currently, speaking relevant to the years artist been singing to fans before Egyptians days
You articulated your thoughts so very well! Bravo Tom. We are rooting for you.
So happy he made #1 on the billboard !!
I know this is late, but for future reference, does it count if you just download the album if you have Apple Music, or do you have to pay specifically for the album? I get them for free through my subscription, but I’m more than happy to pay for it.
As a former member of an independent Christian band, I experienced this first hand. That's why years later I went to music production school to learn how to do all of the things so that I could build a music production company and hopefully label that can stick a giant middle finger to the mainstream music industry! It's just as corrupt as our nation's capital is! You are 💯 right that it needs a complete overhaul. That, or we just need to build the greatest competition to them that would out perform then in every way! #hangovergangforever
I’m 7 minutes in and this is interesting, but I want to know which data collection agency you were in contact with. I report physical sales to billboard independently every album and initially I had to give them access to the website’s backend, which I did. They’ve never asked about publishing or anything of that nature. They did count the physical sales though, which were in the thousands. I’m sure I can help.
Love your no mask no Vax video!❤ keep it up!
Awesome.. Bryson good to see you here...
your a good man bro we need more people like you in this world
Bryson try to get in touch with his people yall could bring so many artist together, love your music too bro
Respect G
Government controls EVERYTHING!!! Your music does not get played on the radio because you’re telling the TRUTH. Don’t EVER give up. I’m so proud of you Tom
Plus his language can't be played on radio. I love his music ideas but I can't take the language
@@salesadmieze9049 yes. English is very bad.
I am a follower of Christ and I have a huge potty mouth! There are more important things He’s working on in my heart and life than the Fbombs coming from my mouth😊
@@KarleenRoberts If you're a Christ follower than you should know that He said in Matthew 15:18, "But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.". He said in Matthew 12:34, "...out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks". Paul said in Ephesians5:3-5 no foolish talk or vulgar joking, in Colossians3:8 Paul says, Christians MUST put aside filthy language. There are more verses about our language but I'm exorting you to live out your salvation with fear and trembling. If you are truely saved you may struggle with your language but you will NEVER practice using vulgar language as a lifestyle. Christ came to save us from our sin and the penalty for our sin. He did not give up His life so that we could keep on sinning as much as we want. We MUST stop sinning as much as we can. He said in John14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. God Bless.
@@mattdillon4398 and who dictates what is bad language and good? You? The Christ? The church? Because I don’t see god saying what words offend his senses…
oh, I get it, men that say other these other men have been appointed by god, right? Like the guys that buggar little boys? or commit the single largest acts of genocide the world has ever seen; Like the systematic and almost complete destruction of north and South American indigenous peoples and their entire history and existence? The same church that claims Christianity but prays to someone other than god? -The word of god is not god, the Christ is not god- but That church? That’s the church that says the word sh*t offends his holy senses and turns a person wicked? Mmm… okay. But I’m the crazy one.
Hi Tom! I’m a 70 yr old lady who never liked rap music….until I heard you. I have listened to your tunes & I must say I absolutely love them! You’re a great rapper with a wonderful voice. And I must say also that you are a very handsome young man. Keep pumping out those tunes! ❤
I have never liked rap but you've got a fan here... I have always told my daughter to never change who she is just to fit in... She's bullied at school because she's a straight A student and going to be a doctor... I am so proud of her and your messages are so powerful it send chills through me... I am a rocker not a rapper but yours is unbelievable...Thanks and never sell out...
So your daughter is bullied at school for being straight and wanting to be a doctor! Yeah sure she is.
And he made it to #1 on the billboard so it shows that fighting for what’s yours works!!
You still don’t like rap.
Watch your daughter. People who have been bullied add solutions to problems on the menu, that should not be there. Bullying can crush a person. Check in and listen to her, please.
Hope your daughter is doing well. Bullies suck
Tom, I am in my mid 50s and I can tell you young man, you are really appreciated by folks in my era. You have that energy from what we had in the 70s and 80s. Don't stop being you and being a great artist. You're a good soul and the world needs more like you.
Same age as you too and totally agree with you 👍❤
Not as wise as you yet 😂 but a 70's baby nonetheless & I must agree with you with Toms energy. We grew up with some damn good music 😂 this crap they call music now is FOOLISHNESS. Enjoy the rest of your week!
@@greenladylove7297 exactly
54 this year. i completely agree.
55 in a few days.
Tom is everything we supposed to hate according to the establishment. Yet we love him and his music. Keep going Tom, I understand that as an extremely successful artist you want to be acknowledged for your accomplishments, so well fight the fight with you. I think your fans should overwhelm Billboard and or the data company with mails demanding their change towards independent artist.
Never hold your piece, cheers from South Africa
This is why the radio sounds so homogeneous because Independent artists can’t get through. Thanks for exposing this Tom!
Thank god he finally made it to #1 on billboard!!
Your right man, that would have been a guaranteed #1 album. Wow, your plan would have broke the music industry. Wow, again super impressed and you deserve your spot.
It does seem that the big record companies don't want the public to see you can achieve on your own.
You are a pioneer and that is never easy.
Thank you, Tom.
Not only are you an unbelievable musician musician, you have an intelligence about you that is undeniable both through your lyrics and and your fight for causes like this one...
It's too bad he's only a musician musician. He needs to evolve to a musician musician musician
Could not have said it better!
Truth will out!
No. His first problem is saying people are hating on him. Nobody is hating theyre just calling him out on his fear mongering grift. E
@@jamesdoakes4956 sounds like you’re hating now lol
@@jamesdoakes4956 By your logic, no one is really ever hating on anyone lmao
"I'm not hating on (insert name here), I'm just pointing out their (insert insult here)"
😂😂😂
The “data collection company” doesn’t really work for Billboard (even if they are getting paid by Billboard). They are working for the record companies, distribution companies, etc. Independent artists are a threat to that business model.
This makes a lot of sense now. They pay their bills and if Tom is competing against them they have no chance so why would they. Hard to say but wouldn't surprise me if the data collection agency was double dipping sometimes I wonder how some of the artists get on top. 🤷♂️

Kind of like crypto against big banks.
@@bloodgangbg529 Trash!
Working for the machine pushing the indoctrination of the nation through all the overplayed bullshit that's on those charts. Molding the minds of youth
A really wise man once said "Welcome to the system".
I love that youre fighting for whats right, even for those that dont like you. I think this just serves to prove youre calling it all spot on. I love watching your (and Novas) success grow in spite of the music industries effort to keep you down. Yall are truly legendary.
Thank you for this in depth report of the fight you've been fighting for recognition of your hard work and the recognition of Independent Artists Globally. Truly inspiring. As one who wouldn't sell their soul to the superficial industry at a very young age, now surviving as an independent artist, I truly appreciate those who are doing the same and paving a new path, away from the Ritualistic crossroads all great artists face eventually. Stay strong. Your message is being guided to those who need it. May you and your work be protected. 🙏🎶⭐ Rock on.
You need to file a lawsuit against the data collection company, if they won’t answer your questions then a judge will.
Hopefully
AGREED!! Someone should have to answer to these inadequacies.
That would cost a fortune
These big companies would drag you through the mud until you go broke. Thats how they win.
@@Brown270TTV but it would make the newspapers
Hey Tom! You should hire a law firm to threaten them with a lawsuit. They are representing themselves as a "data collection company." They have responsibilities to Billboard and the public at large. They cannot legally hold independent artists hostage to their way of business. Peace to all the awakening ones.
upgrade to class action, independently crowd source the ammo
Yes do this screw them with the system, play their games
Courts won't care. Private company, no contract between the parties. At best he could try filing a deceptive advertising complaint with the FTC, but as he isn't actually their customer it probably won't have much weight. The most effective course of action would be a social media crusade naming and shaming the company or pressuring Billboard to cut ties with them if they don't change.
Well said.
Lmao
Keep fighting ! You, REN & Chinchilla, among others, have more talent than any "signed" artists. You no longer need the "industry". You got this with RUclips and social and your own talent ! ❤ The numbers speak for themselves.
RUclips is part of the problem too though. We need a mass migration to platforms that are not a part of the dictatorship and we need to create a free person's alternative to youtube.
I have been listening to your music for two weeks now. I must say I have been blown away! You and Nova are warriors! Thank you for standing strong in your battle with Mainstream! It might be out of my place to say, but I would hire an attorney to sue both Billboard and their data collection companies! You deserve the recognition you have earned! My blood is boiling for you!
I found Tom last year. I turn 65 tomorrow and never liked rap before. Check out Adam Calhoun and Bryson Gray. Enjoy !
Damn Tom, even the Billboard charts are fake news. So sorry this is happening to you. I'll continue to click your videos and do my part to show support. All the best
Exactly. 👍
The Billboards are there for this reason specifically but these tyrants are afraid of Tom changing the minds of the masses. No more bitches and hoes 'Rap. No more propaganda for the street gangs, it all falls apart ... QUICKLY. They're scared and it's time to TAKE OVER THE CHARTS. LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make
Music
Great
Again

Everything is an illusion.
They are LYING
Lawyer up
Take it to court, set a precedent,
And SHAKE THE INDUSTRY TO THE CORE!!
love you guys!🏆💯🔥🎸
lol why? i mean who cares, just call them out on their dumb shit and move on. nobody cares about the industry charts its all a con anyways. If i was Tom i would get a chuckle out of this and know i was doing something right lol
Agree he must go to court with this, it would be a good blow to the industry👌👌💯💯
@aloevv𖤐 you don’t speak for any of us troll!! Go blow yourself up, Joe said if you believe in him then you would gladly die for him!!
Can tell you now that courts won't care. It's a private business and there was no contract between the parties, it's not the place of the government to step in on this. Best course of action is to name and shame the data collection company so the public applies pressure on them to change.
@aloevv𖤐 ....can't believe you voted for someone who said all black people are the same...or wanted to segregate schools because it would be a jungle, a racial jungle? Or when he said black men are super predators. Or Biden spoke at a friend's funeral who was in the KKK.
Your music changes their narrative of the influence they have on society, which is all backwards. I just subscribed and I really love your music! Will continue praying for ya’ll’s success 🙏🏻
Love and positive energy to Nova and yourself as you move through this nonsense.
Bravo on yet another spectacular song!
Congratulations on holding the line through all the crazy making. They indeed knew exactly what you had been doing, yet needed to somehow make you jump through their hoops on demand because of it.
No matter how you look at, you absolutely beat them at they're own game. Which burns their asses! 🤣👏💖✌
great fan❤️❤️
You're among the shortlisted winner's 🥳🥳.. Use this above name to acknowledge your prize👆👆👆
You're a threat, you enlighten people, make them think, red pill them, if you will. They don't like that. You and Nova don't comply, don't conform, don't give in. And THAT IS THE REASON WE THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD LOVE YOU AND YOUR WORK. Hold the line guys, keep making that fabulous content, never stop.
Yes! This is the reason!
BINGO and well said.
Monopolies need to be broken up!!!!
People these days are too comfortable with immoral, unethical behavior.
A travesty!
Well said! I came here to say something similar to this, but you said it better.
Absolutely LOVE you both!!!
Remember, A lion does not need to tell you he’s a lion.

Music industry and media sucks. Keep doing you, you’re an inspiration to many🤟🏻 they can’t silence you
@don't be surprised If you post a video you want others to see don't post it on every comment. People see you as annoying when you post every comment then Noone cares to see what you are sharing

They are just the unelected gatekeepers. We the people need to de-legitimize their authority.
How bout we make are own billboard? Legacy media on its way out.
Music industry, news media, Hollywood, and government are all bullshit.
It’s almost like the charts are just a publicity machine for the big labels. As if they don’t actually care about what’s selling, only what the major labels tell them. Like a bunch of talentless hacks are worried that if artists cut them out, the hacks will have to get an actual job… so weird.
💯
100%
And they want certain music playing bc it has messages in it. They cast spells through music.
Big propaganda machine. Listen to what we want you to listen to, which is usually trash.
I just found you guys. What your doing is so important. I'm hoping that this is the spark that brings together an independent "chart" - an open source, transparent, honest reflection of music. We all well know the commercial music industry is a stinking pile of parasitic, abusive, low life's backed by the worst kind of people on this planet. We don't want them, we don't need them. When it comes down to it - they need us. It's no different to an abusive domestic relationship. With the support of the listeners, the true music lovers, we can provide a sanctuary for independent artists to thrive. We can bring real music back to the people, and watch the industry produced swill disappear down the drain where it belongs. Good music drives it's own industry... we don't need the "middle men" anymore.
Love your work!
Keep pushing regardless of the unfairness of these backward thinking data collection companies. I discovered your music today when I listened to Dax song he featured you in. Your musicianship is phenomenal and the message it carry is powerful.
you’re an inspiration to many
I agree.
I agree to
Mostly to white supremacist
the Gospel:
the Gospel isn't solely "Jesus loves you and He can do this, this, and that for you." no, the true Biblical Gospel is that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of a holy and just God, and because of this we all deserve death and eternal damnation in hell.
our sins have separated us from God and when we were separated from God, we were sold as slaves to sin, under the captivity and care of the devil, whom we love(d).
in our sinful nature, we're nothing more than wretched, vile sinners in DIRE need of the Savior, but JESUS, the perfect and sinless Lamb of God, came into the world and took the punishment we deserved for our wicked sins and was raised from the dead three days after being buried so that we may have the opportunity of salvation, redemption, adoption, and reconciliation to the Heavenly Father. we ought to repent and believe in the Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ; we must be born-again. (Mark 8:36-37) (John 3:16), (Acts 17:30), (Romans 6:23), (John 3:5), (Ecclesiastes 12:13), (Mark 1:15).
only JESUS CHRIST saves.
Ok
If the industry sees independent artists doing it without them... more independent artists will flourish and the industry will fail. And it should at this point.
Can't come quickly enough. Many of us have been unable to turn the radio on for decades as the trash being played stinks.
@@maccagrabme I stopped listening to radio music several years ago. I just listen to talk radio or my music playlist.
Current model has the industry go online and see what RUclips LLC is cookin' (iTunes Spotify included) and hence Mr. MacDonald has been getting some advance? offers from the 'bigs'.
Rock on, brother! You’re making a HUGE impact!
They are not miserably failing to understand anything!!! THEY ARE GASLIGHTING YOU!
Honestly it's because they are liberals who run it and don't want you to speak the truth and be a true American with American common sense is what it comes down. Tom keep doin this shit I try to do the same on social media to inform and you amazing patriots inform the most 🖤
It's time to take our freedoms back in SO many ways!! ♥️🇺🇲 Keep up the great music and saying what most of us think!!
Wow this story makes me so mad!!! How absolutely ridiculous that you dealt with that. Absolute incompetence. I would be furious, seriously. You guys were completely right to keep pursuing this and fighting like you did. I love your email to them. You worded it perfectly and the fact that they never responded back to you is completely and utterly asinine. I just started folllowing you and love your music and videos. So good!! You are so inspiring.
You finally did break thru #1 on billboard
Congrats!
You and Nova are amazing!! Keep pushing against the music industry BS

Wow. They will stop at nothing to keep you out of the game. I mean wouldn’t just blow their whole world if an independent artist blew all the “mainstream” artists out of the water. Keep up the good fight Brother.

TOM.... YOU ARE THE BIG BOY! 😇
God Bless You!!!
Don't you agree?
Genius at work. Not an accident that you are being dismissed. They cannot control you and this scares them. They know what you have done but refuse to acknowledge it because others might learn that they also do not need a controlling music label to be successful. Keep up the work. We believe your numbers that they refuse to report.
Dude, I’ve been a musician and in music forever. The fact is, the entire industry is rigged and has been since the 1950s. It’s a money machine that benefits the record companies and the record companies alone. The artists themselves receive pennies on the dollar. The charts have all been rigged since the early days of music. Just look how the industry buys into the radio stations or at least did before streaming hit. I’m sure they have bought into the streaming services also. The Grammys, Billboard music awards, all of that stuff is a popularity contest meant to promote up-and-coming artists and make them look bigger in order to draw more people to buy more downloads, watch more videos and gas up the industry machine. Why do you think people like Michael Jackson, Prince, George Michael and how many others were trying to sue themselves out of the contract that they signed when they were kids that essentially took everything from them and made them slaves to the industry. While making record companies billions and trillions of dollars.
People like you are a gremlin to the machine. Threatening to bring it down and expose just how unfairly they’ve been treating and paying the people making the music that drives their machine. Before the Internet and RUclips and other ways that artist could promote themselves, there was no other recourse but to sign a contract that essentially signed your music and life away. Making artists indebted to those record companies for the life of their contracts, which unfortunately sometimes extend their entire careers.
Keep doing what you’re doing, as other independent artists are doing the same… let’s bring down the machine and make the music industry fair for those who are creating. You’re a good man, keep up the good fight.
Not to mention that unfortunately the conspiracy theories about what the artists do to actually become big names in the music industry are pretty much all true.. "selling out" is a thing and they do rituals and extremely immoral things to move ahead and garner more fame or connections within the industry
I agree with you, but to be fair to the music industry, most artists that they work with don't pan out. They take losses on those, lots of them. They rip off more successful artists to cover costs. However er, they make entirely too much money at the expense of these artists. Tom can be a real threat to that. I'm with him.
can someone explain to me why Tom didn't just send legal representation instead? They would have had immediate, timely responses, and they would have been able to get that stuff done instead of having a data collection company dicking around with you.
I have a feeling what they did, was realize who you are, and didn't want to rock the boat by accrediting you to billboard. Cancel culture is strong in the liberal arts.
Its strong every freaking wear in every facet of life regardless of what you do and who you are!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Your looking for answers in the wrong place folks!!!! All of us do it!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Heart Radio scares the hell outta me as they are monopolizing radio stations to control info. Info that will benefit only them and never us.
Bro this is CRAZY!!! Not only because of the dunces in the industry but also because of the clarity of your work ethic!! This single video has massively influenced my drive to step up my grind! Thank you bro!!
This is deliberate, they'll be in cahoots with all the big labels. They won't want independent artists getting to the top because it threatens these labels.
BINGO!
this is 100% it . they have a monopoly practically. i'm just happy HOG going to be a pain in their asses. good going guys!!
That's the obvious answer - and it was totally predictable!
Money talks💰💵
Bingo!
You don't need superficial Billboard recognition. Be a rebel! Keep doing what you do!
It is so funny how you kept coming up on my you tube feed over and over and I kept looking at you and thinking why would you tattoo your face as much as you have. I finally realized there was a message for me and you have hit the nail on the head and I wished I could speak the truth so gracefully as you can. I don’t care for rap and the more I listened, the more I saw your tattoos as such depth of you are and the intense message you have for all of us!
Thank you! You have lifted my spirits in such a difficult time of my life, so please keep being you!
1. Lawyer up
2. Go to your politicians
3. Keep us updated
4. Keep the message and the music coming
Gratitude,
Jim
No matter what happens, you don't need validation from "Billboard" charts to know who you are and how popular, meaningful and powerful your music is. Your Pro America message is inspiring and makes a difference. Thank you Nova and Tom!
I think the “validation” was more for Nova. Good for Tom for so wholeheartedly backing his woman.
@@justincook181 I concur!

The Azov Battalion is an extreme-right nationalist Neo-Nazi paramilitary organization based in Ukraine.🚨🚨🚨
You are definitely not wrong, B T. The problem is that Tom and other independent artists would be able to make even more sales (music as well as merchandise) if the billboards would report accurate information without bias against independent artists. Keep up the fight, Tom and Nova, eventually they will notice enough public backlash to do the right thing.
I don't think it was validation at all. It was to get their message out to the entire world. By putting your name on the chart, you're getting people to look you up and see your message. The validation comes as a cherry on top.
I love you, Tom!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love Nova!! Thank you for being you. The world is a ridiculous, fucked up place. Thanks for trying to fight back!
My Husband went to Berkley School Of Music in Boston . Most of the music we listen to never was on the billboard charts . I see how it would bother you , you all put so much working in to great music, You should be reconized and they should put you at number one !!! You know its because you say the truth !!!
This is an incredible school… (I am from Massachusetts) I am impressed and I don’t even know him… lol
Billboard is a relic, from a bygone era. They just don't know they've been replaced by the internet. You got my support Tom. I'll hit up Amazon right now.
Keep going Tom; you know the Government trying to stop you; for your content of your songs. But guess what!!! WE THE PEOPLE
Love your TRUTH IN YOUR SONG'S & STAND BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY.
KEEP IT UP: Hi to Nova x
The government? Lol that’s a reeeaaachhh
I LOVE YOUR MISSION!!! YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL!!!
Im from LA and I know you’re speaking TRUTH!!!
My neighbor from the north! Eric from Wisconsin here and was compelled to comment on one of your posts.. You fricken rock! Much love to ya and your fam! and keep up the amazing work! You passed a vibration to me through your music and the energy is absolutely pure! Hallelujah Hollaback
This is just proof of how scared they are of your success. You're a positive voice that's bringing people together. Keep pushing back 🙏❤️
They are scared they won’t have any business anymore. Big record companies
As a fellow independent artist this is sad to hear. They clearly just didn't want your sales to be cleared. Disgraceful and disheartening
Disgraceful yes but don’t be too disheartened, don’t let them stop you, doing you! Blessings
I’m also an independent artist and I’m trying my damn hardest best to put my voice out there but I don’t have that many listeners on all digital platforms but hearing this makes me have hatred towards the music industry and I’m thinking about staying independent when I get “big” someday
They can't control an I dependant artist which is why they fuck you around..... Trying to force you to sign to a label and contract,essentially giving the industry full control of your life, your passion, your music. Stay true Tom and fight for independence.
Love your music Tom, & Nova!!! I’ll check out the album and I know you both will not give up and this only makes you fight harder to win!!!
Damn dude.. I don't listen to your style of music, not saying I don't like your art; it's just not something I listen to over and over.. I'm about to buy your album just to help you with this fight. What you're doing is fucking amazing and makes you #1 alone. So $15 is a small cheers, I hope it helps you out a tiny little bit.
I don’t like the way he flows and he does a little grift. But I support his right to be heard.

This is what he's saying! see, you guys get it. Good on you guys for genuinely wanting to make the world a better place! see we aint gotta agree on everything to work together in making things better. good people 👍
Your mistake was to believe the music industry was about art, when it's actually about control.
God Bless you Tom and Nova. This is Exactly what your Message is about. The System is Corrupt and expect YOU to Conform to thier standards!!! You Don't need them. You have US and WE Love you
As a music lover I have to say I am sick to death with the crap the billboard charts are forcing into our ears. I’ve stopped listening to music radio and only listen to talk show only or else my music collection.
Tom and independent artists like him are a breath of fresh air. We need to hear more music and artists like you Tom.
Absolutely!
Me too! I don't want to hear about sex, gays, trans, and the rest of the stuff Hollywood loves!
Too true
Anybody with any sense can see exactly what is happening to the music industry by just noticing what is happening to Harry Styles
I haven't listend to radio in 15+ years
They are scared of you Tom. You have surpassed their expectations. Please tell Nova great job! ❤️ It's a badge of honor being over the target. Smell the panic! They don't know what the hell to do. Love you both. Putting a glitch in The matrix.

TOM n NOVA
You both are truly inspirational God bless you both.
Unbelievable....ya'll are so strong.. Thank you. Your endurance doesn't go unnoticed
I've never listened to Tom MacDonald, but I watched this entire video, and I am furious. It really sounds like an elite circle of people that won't participate unless they get cut in to the profits. Because you are independent no one is getting a piece of the pie, it makes rage on the inside. And this is why tons of independent artists never make it, because they don't have a parasite of a record label sucking their wallets dry.
The only way i see of this getting any action, is a massive campaign with the help of "BIG BILLBOARD" artists also jumping in and supporting the cause.
Best of luck my dude.
Take a few minutes and listen to Toms work. It i s truly as real as it gets. Be careful though you might get hooked!
That’s correct, my friend. As an independent label, I can verify this. Most labels are owned by the big 3: Sony, Warner, Universal, and they make up >80% of streaming. Whether you like it or not, most of your money when paying for Spotify or Apple Music goes directly to them.

It is as expected...
But I won't explain the full depth of human corruption...
Let it all rise Hell when that time arrives...
People, we must PROTECT AND SUPPORT THIS YOUNG MAN!
I love how you said young man...
How
Very much AGREED!!! Download ALL his music which is 🔥!!!! TOM ROCKS AND ONLY SPITS TRUTH!!! ❤👊🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
Their music is being heard, they've been very successful at doing what they love, so how much is enough? They have fame , money success and a platform on which to make and distribute it. Their music is being heard and exchanged world-wide but it's not enough, they want cater to the old establishment. I'm no hater but 10 minutes sounding like a primadonna having a hissy fit doesn't quite fit with his message or videos.
Absolutely
You inspire even me... Even through tons of pain brother ... Love what y'all are doing. Love y'all...
And never fn give up ... My ninja...
Semper FN Fidelis
Tom...... You're a breath of fresh air! Wish I had found you, your music and team sooner! America united for the people!
Goes to show how hard these guys work. And fuck the charts and clowns “collecting data” what a joke. I never believed them, and this is even more proof as to why! My heart goes out to you guys, we know and appreciate the work, time, and energy it takes to put out what you do. Your names going to be on top, we just have to keep fighting 💪🏼 much love to Tom and Nova and everyone else behind the scenes. We got this. We know you deserve that top spot.
Exactly it's like watching the Oscar's (no one does) but movies no one has ever heard of win the awards while other movies ppl actually went and seen and are good never win.
Tom... you've already won. You beat the system and have avoided the middle man. I'm not the biggest fan of your music, but I respect you tremendously for your hard work and the fact that you're doing it without the fake industry. We need you, because if we already know most of the music on Billboard is shit anyway.
Nice username :)
I just wanted to say that we need more people like you in this world. You don't like his music but you still show him the respect he deserves for the work he's done. This is how it should always be.
I played for sixteen years trying to play the so called Nashville game .. what your doing is inspirational! Your amazing Son God Bless Go Kick There ass your Killing it ! we love you…
Thanks for sharing…Transparency, how refreshing…You have to laugh that they’re confused & can’t understand your commitment to success and it’s fact… best wishes
They can't accept the reality that y'all don't need "the system" to produce your music .. good for you and I hope more artists switch to doing it independently. The old "system" is broken and needs to go anyways...
You nailed it. The industry tolerates independent artists who "know their place" according to the industry. Read: small time independent artists are a novelty to have in their ranks. They will never play ball with someone like Tom for the very reason he wants to be on the charts. They are dying and they can't allow Indie artists to show them up. They are playing you Tom. Lawyer up and sue their asses.
💯‼️
What is the old “system” exactly? Depending on what your goals are with your career..if you wanna be on billboard with a chart topping song you ain’t doing shit without a label. You can have millions of followers on IG what you don’t have are the relationships the infrastructure of a label. Name one artist to me that has scored a top 10 hit without a label. Or as you call it “the system” hahahaha 🤦🏻♂️
Well said

You remind of Publishers in an any other industry... I wonder if Labels even let you own the copyright of your own works.
Either way... You can be their pawn. Such is the System. To kneel before the old vanguard.
A man blessed with wisdom and talent 🙏. A gift to us all. Thank you Mr. Tom/Nova
Absolute insanity! My heart just hurts to see you guys go thru this maddening ridiculousness! Thanks for opening our eyes!
Oh, they understand you, but they are PURPOSELY playing stupid because it's all part of their control game.
Bless you & stay strong & true Tom & Nova!
Unfortunately, unless you go through the “gate keepers” an independent artist doesn’t get the recognition they deserve. It is all about money. Because your money isn’t going to EMI, Sony, etc. they won’t allow you to play on the play ground.
It's not about money. It's about control and the manipulation of the power of influence. You control artists you automatically have access to the minds of the majority of the population.
@@universalpowder1682 I see a lot of ludicrous shit being sung about and glorified in "popular" media and it really does seem like a psychological operation to destroy any semblance of healthy cultural norms.
@@enjoixander Never said that. What do you think culture is? Culture is created everyday. Influence and culture are married, can't have on or the other.
@@universalpowder1682 You got it. The money is just a bonus to them. Ditto with movies and advertising. Did Proctor and Gamble care when their Gillette advert copped flack? Do Coke care when boycotted over pushing CRT?
They're all part of the social engineering of who they regard as plebs or useful idiots.
I for one certainly don't want to be in their treehouse.
Tired of Greedy corporations 🤨
I’m not a musician but I’m sharing the hell out of this. I’m sick and tired of “the system” screwing anyone that won’t bow down. We’re the rebellion. Thank you for being real!!!!
Good for you! Did you buy a digital download? Be sure to share the Amazon and iTunes links when you share this.
@@teresabenson3385 We bought the CD and have downloaded it on iTunes and Amazon music.
@@kellybiggs2056 Awesome way to run up those numbers for him!
You're both so amazing! Keep showing the world that the independent people matter! We the people, God's people, are listening. And LOVE your music and lyrics. They are scared of you guys and what you're bringing light to. 👏👏👏 BRAVO
Tom & Nova, you are simply Incredible! Keep up great work! Thank you!
As a International DJ or 30 years, I have watched ghost writers leak information on artists making the charts and never made a track ever! It's all pay for play. I stepped back from the music industry after being canceled in 2018. Fck it! The industry is disgusting, shady, and abusive! Good on you for exposing just one of the dark sides of the industry.
You're proving to all musicians everywhere, they don't need a record company or promoters to be successful.
They fear everything you guy's represent... You guy's ROCK!!!! We see too!!!!!!!
Exactly!
Neither did Macklemore, and he made off with every penny.
I'm so glad these musicians are getting social media to work for them. Cut the big label thieves out! Keep their own music, money and in return ticket prices will be more affordable too.
good for you!!! keep up the good fight! signed, your mom. Not really but i'm old enough to be (63). Found you by accident and said to myself; self.. this fella has lots to say and i want to hear it!! Don't let those worms wear you and your lady down. Positive energy sent your way, from your birth country. Cheers
Good for you my son is a musician all original and he also is very educated and informed about the music industry and how unfair and unethical and how they basically lure innocent musicians into their traps solely for their own benefit and profit! Stay strong and keep spreading the truth!
They have deemed you and your lyrics "dangerous". Meaning you're on to something my friend. You know there game and making it big without selling your soul. Seriously bro keep it up 👍
now he knows how minorities feel. haha
Small hats might get blown off. Safety is what matters.
Lmfao no. There’s a million independent artists that have large fanbases and pull but get no promo or support from digital streaming platforms and billboard. Are they all dangerous too? get real everything is a conspiracy with u guys
You CAN NOT I repeat to you this YOU CAN NOT SELL SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU.! THAT IS A LIE THAT THE DEVIL SPITS FROM HIS FORKED TONGUE. GOD OWNS YOUR SOUL. You can't sell a home that does not belong to you...No? God OWNS our SOULS..HE DECIDES WHERE YOUR SOUL SPENDS ETERNITY. just saying. Your being misinformed. Don't believe me I don't expect you to but do your own research Google it if you have the inability to open the Bible and find it yourself. You will see that it's one of the many lies the devil will tell you to make you think he's got more power than what he actually has. Basically he has A LOUD BARK but is Lacking when it comes to the bite. Much love and no disrespect.
@@rainbowcrazy5506 In the original story, the devil, is Chronos - the FATHER of God. He is quite powerful, powerful enough to be your devil. In fact, who rules your world this very second? Who controls the music industry and media and banking and all the schools and all the governments, other than Putin?
MOLOCH aka CHRONOS aka BAAL, the god of Israel and his Carthaginian Jews.
The bottom line is that the Billboards do not want independent artist to bypass their puppet artist. Tom & Nova's music is too controversial for the music industry to swallow, you are literally their competition. Remain independent it's worth it at the end. Peace & Love to All.
I love yours and Nova's drive in never giving up! I wish you two nothing but the best! I'm a proud new fan, and look forward to hearing more of your songs! You and Nova ROCK!
Keep up the excellent work. Much respect and you truly rock. Well done on not giving up. You are a true light worker and setting all free by revealing the truth through your music. True art at its best.
It seems like they pulled a scenario where you asked them, "Why wouldn't you count these statistics counting towards the chart?" and they hit you with a "because" or "just because" answer. The industry is scared of independent artists because THEY don't benefit from it. Great vid Tom! Keep killing it bro!
They are playing you at their game with their rules. Youre not supposed to be able to win, but you are with your music. Keep smashing it onyour own.
I have been where you are at in another industry. I feel so bad for you. We managed to succeed but it took years. I mean we were totally independent too.
I LOVE that you sent them 1000 live crickets after missing that call.!!
🌟 👑 Nova is your star queen!!
You are fantastic! I am a 73 year old woman who has never listened to rap before. You are speaking the truth young man thank you
I'm 61yo disabled combat vet who just told him the same thing. He's great. I'm a total fan. He's gonna go far . You have a good ear for truth.good luck to you Gwen.
I'm 58 and I am unbelievably relieved and enthralled with Thomas too. He is a light in the dark for sure.
All these baddies in here hellyeah I for one appreciate these comments
💚💚💚
I’m 70 and yes Tom is very good. I’m so proud of his courage and honesty ! Well done Tom !
I walked away from the music industry in the early 90s, I saw the hypocrisy and corruption. I have not bought an album since, and would only listen on free streams or radio. Until today. Yours is the first album I have bought in 30 years, just to support your cause and the need for us to break the chains. Love your message even if I don't typically like rap, but love you man. Keep fighting the good fight, keep pushing the truth.
You don’t like rap until they rap about your white supremacist wet dreams? Haha G F T O!
@@Marco_Fabian37 it's not racist, it's just that black people can't make good music 😆
I'm also a black supremacist so I'm heavily racist against you if you don't have dark skin pigmentation.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD and the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of GOD is eternal life in CHRIST our LORD, Who not only gave us life but laid down HIS very own precious Life for us all so that we may be saved by HIS grace through faith in HIM alone. please stop living in sin, repent, and live all to the glory of the LORD GOD Almighty alone, that you become a son/daughter of our Heavenly FATHER and be sealed by HIS HOLY SPIRIT! :) mark 12:29-31 / ecclesiastes 12:13 / galatians 2:20
God is gracious and merciful. we ought to learn from our sins and repent, never repeating our wickedness again.
John 14:6
CHRIST answered, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through Me."

Love you Tom and your music. Keep putting it to them, the underdog will eventually win
