The U.K.-based Sony BMG-signed Ting Tings have just broken into The Billboard Hot 100 with single “Shut Up and Let Me Go,” which debuts this week at No. 93. The song plays throughout the newest iPod/iTunes ad, which made its debut April 27 on the CW’s Everybody Hates Chris, ABC’s Desperate Housewivesand Fox’s Family Guy.
Sales for the single jumped from 1,100 to 24,000 for the week ending May 4, according to Nielsen SoundScan, an increase of 2181 percent. As noted by Billboard, the music industry trade publication, artists typically see a large bump in sales and profile after being featured in Apple ads.
