Jake Shimabukuro & His Ukulele Top Billboard This Week

Jake Shimabukuro has conquered the Billboard music charts this week with his instrument re-defining new album, 'Peace Love Ukulele.' The album debuted at #1 on the “World Albums” chart, the ukulele virtuoso's best showing to date, blazed the "Heatseekers" chart with a Hot Shot debut in the 4th position, and also made it onto the “Independent Albums” chart at #31. 'Peace Love Ukulele,' out on HITCHHIKE Records, has shattered the first week sales records of all previous Shimabukuro releases. 

The Honolulu native and his stalwart ukulele skills were recently featured on NPR'S “Weekend Edition,” where he voiced his conviction that "if everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place.”’
