"Top Independent Albums are current titles that are sold via independent distribution, including those which are fulfilled via major branch distributors. Compiled from a national sample of retail store, mass merchant, and Internet sales reports collected, compiled, and provided by SoundScan." Basically, if it has a barcode, they know...(this is a new feature I'm trying, bear with me)
