- YouTube stars chart under their own steam
- Brandenstein: Entered at number 18 with “Diese Liebe” (This Love) in Christmas week 2014
- DieLochis in the charts for the fourth time
What do Joel Brandenstein and DieLochis have in common? Quite a bit, actually. Both acts are recordJet passengers, both have gained popularity through YouTube, and both are successful in the charts!
recordJet passenger Joel Brandenstein is Germany’s newest Internet star who has flown into the charts with his music. In the Christmas week, known as the most competitive chart week of the year, Brandenstein landed at number 18 of the German Singles Chart. He also went to number 30 in Switzerland and number 74 in Austria.
And DieLochis can’t seem to get enough – the two 15-year-old recordJet passengers, Roman and Heiko Lochmann, have landed in the German charts for the fourth time, this time with their single “Mein letzter Tag” (My Last Day).
“DieLochis and Joel Brandenstein have entered the charts because of their tireless efforts and, of course, talent. We are extremely proud that the streak of successful recordJet passengers is continuing, and that our passengers have meanwhile become permanent fixtures in the German charts. This shows, once again, that the independent distribution and marketing model works”, adds Captain Jorin Zschiesche.
Joel Brandenstein’s debut single “Diese Liebe” was distributed by recordJet to all digital download stores worldwide on 14/12/2014. The fourth chart single by DieLochis, “Mein Letzter Tag” has been digitally available since 17/02/2015.
recordJet is a digital music distributor and content aggregator based in Berlin, helping musicians and labels to sell their music online worldwide. Music uploaded on www.recordjet.com will be distributed to mp3 stores and streaming services like iTunes and Spotify, where the music is then available for sale or for streaming. Unlike other content aggregators, recordJet pays out 100% of the royalties to the musicians which also keep all of their rights, for a small annual fee. Many additional service offerings like physical distribution into 500 shops, CD pressing and professional promotion make recordJet an allround service. recordJet was founded in 2008 with the goal to provide the European music market, especially unknown artists and small labels, with an attractive and affordable way of music distribution. recordJet went online in 2010 and has since then expanded its services continuously. 2013 the company went international with the launch of its highly anticipated English website in April and a Spanish version in December.
