Number One at "Number One Music": Since he put up his page at the Number One Music (N1M) site in February of 2007, Erik Jay has ranked in the Top Five on the jazz and Latin charts. In addition, over 600 people from Russia, Italy, UK, Senegal, Ghana, Spain, Germany, Canada, Australia, Dominican Republic, France, the USA, and other countries have joined his N1M fan club. Along with other listeners, they are responsible for over 10,000 plays/downloads per month, and on June 11, 2009, the total number broke the 300,000 mark! Ritmo Still a Big Hit on MP3.com: Erik's tune Ritmo, on which he plays all instruments, is still pulling the listeners at MP3.com. Back in February 2007, the tune had an astonishing, chart-topping, #1 performance with over 1700 downloads in a week. It has now recorded over 6200, making it one of the biggest tunes on the site's jazz charts for going on three years now. See 2007 chart. Echoes from 2006: On Saturday, 12/2/06, it was learned that Erik Jay's original tune Ritmo, on which he plays all the instruments, had been #1 for some time on the MP3.com Jazz Charts. By the time we took a screenshot, it had moved from there to #2 and then to #4. And in early October 2006, international independent music site UBL.com honored Erik Jay as one of four Featured Artists of the Week in the Latin jazz genre, highlighting his insrumental Bendecido. As an unexpected bonus, the site managers left Erik up on the "weekly" awards page for nearly three weeks, finally updating the spot with new artists on October 20th.
