Iβm not doubting your technical accuracy, Iβm just not sure itβs possible for someone with a song about to be top 10 on the chart, who is touring, 500k followers on Instagram (I mean I *see* his sponsored ads) to be unrepped. Heβs 10000000% repped. Itβs not possible heβs not. He may just not have a technical major label recording contract β which I still doubt. Like you said, Macklemore, but with massive asterisks. Looooooollll. You see sponsored ads on Instagram? Then I guess my friend who does Oasis covers at the local tavern must be signed by Interscope.

Thatβs like the worst rebuttal ever. The point is there *absolutely* is a team behind him. Pretending a guy who is about to be Top 10 with a hit song, a whole Playlist of songs, whoβs been touring, has multiple music videos, multiple behind the scenes promotions (which includes Instagram ads) β pretending like heβs some independent artist is ridiculous.

'Independent' in the music industry does not mean 'I am doing absolutely every bit of this by myself', it means 'I am not affiliated with a major label'. Anyone who was legitimately managing every bit of their own career (or as much as humanly possible) would be incredibly low-key to damn near invisible in a marketplace this large, so of course he has a support team behind him and connections helping to make things happen.

He just performed on the Today Show this morning. This will reach #10 tomorrow.

Slowest climb to the Top 10 ever? I think even Max was faster
Edit: Max took 286 days to enter the Top 10, if you count the very first day he appeared on the chart (as opposed to consecutive). Edwin McCain's I'll Be was somewhere around 240, so lower than both.

Wiki says Macklemore is on his own self-titled label. I don't understand your point, or how it's supposed to have any effect on what I said.
EDIT: Oh wait, if you're still trying to imply Lauv has some secret major label backing hidden somewhere, I still don't believe it. He's just got good connections who can still get the same things done without a major label's resources.

Isn't Max also independent?
EDIT: oh, and I think Chance the Rapper does everything himself and still got a top 5 rhythmic hit last year.
