I was impressed with how easy Simply Barcodes made getting a bar code, Moreover, as the director of a non-profit organization, I was truly grateful for the ‘Raising the Bar’ program which allowed us to obtain a bar code in a funds-efficient manner. What a great way to give back to the non-profit community you’ve got with that program.
Thank you for your great customer service and your fantastic program!

Buying Official UPC Codes for SoundScan Registration
Simply Barcodes is a supplier of single UPC barcodes. Our UPC codes are compatible with the SoundScan system.
|
|
|
|
In recent weeks we have received an increasing number of requests for information regarding how to obtain UPC codes required to register a CD or other release in the Nielsen SoundScan system. Below is a guide explaining what SoundScan is, what the requirements are, how to obtain the required official UPC barcodes, and how to register your release.
|
|
|
What is SoundScan?
|
|
SoundScan is a tracking system operated by the ACNielsen. According to their website, "Nielsen SoundScan is an information system that tracks sales of music and music video products throughout the United States and Canada. Sales data from point-of-sale cash registers is collected weekly from over 14,000 retail, mass merchant and non-traditional (on-line stores, venues, etc.) outlets. Weekly data is compiled and made available every Wednesday. Nielsen SoundScan is the sales source for the Billboard music charts."
|
|
|
Why would I want to participate?
|
|
In order to have a chance at making the Billboard music charts, your release must be registered with SoundScan using your UPC number. If you do not register then your sales figures are not counted, and you remain invisible to the system.
|
|
|
Is there a cost to participate in SoundScan?
|
|
At the time of this guide's publication, SoundScan registration is still free of charge.
|
|
|
What is required to sign up with SoundScan?
|
|
Signing up with SoundScan requires that your release has an official UPC number. The UPC number consists of the 12 digits listed below the UPC barcode used to identify your release.
|
|
|
How do I obtain an official UPC code?
|
|
You can purchase an official UPC barcode from Simply Barcodes by clicking here. We are the most trusted, preferred and visited site to buy individual UPC codes. These UPC barcodes are guaranteed to be official, authentic, legal, and unique.
|
|
|
Once I have my UPC code, what's next?
|
The last step in the process is to complete the SoundScan registration form with your UPC number, label details, and release information.
