Four albums into their career, Canadian indie rockers Metric have been named MySpace Music’s Triumph of the Year thanks to the success of their 2009 album Fantasies, which took only four weeks to beat previous album’s Live It Out sales over four years. The feat was more remarkable because Metric accomplished it without the aid of any record label, releasing Fantasies on their own Metric Music International. The album spawned the radio hit “Help I’m Alive,” which reached Number 30 on the Billboard Rock Songs list, Metric’s first appearance on the chart, while Fantasies peaked at Number One on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.
