Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jam 9
I checked the Oricon website in Japan (Oricon produces the primary music chart used in Japan) and found that Jam-9 has produced four singles that have charted, the highest reaching no. 122 (see http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/342548/ranking/cd_single/ here). The Oricon chart expanded to 200 in 2002. They've only produced one album with a major label, and that reached no. 77 on the album chart (see http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/342548/ranking/cd_album/ here). If we follow , this would seem to satisfy criteria 2: "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart"--even though the charting was not that high. I looked for something on their rookie award, but that seems to be a mistake. Their own official site profile states that a song from their indie album "Rookie Players" was selected as the support song for the Shimizu S-Pulse football team (Jam-9 comes from that area of Japan). That doesn't appear to be exactly right. The S-Pulse website does not list it as the official support song, but http://www.s-pulse.co.jp/news/home_detail/4655 mentions that it was a tie-up song for one of their official events (see http://www.jsgoal.jp/official/shimizu/00087194.html here
