There is an indie artist #1 on the charts right now, first time in 20 years, and second time in history.

"...won’t talk about how much money they’ve made, but it’s enough to make a major label’s advance offers seem inconsequential."

Is this an anomaly or is this a trend?

It can happen, but very rarely. Indy artists are like startups that have no funding for marketing or just don't know how to market themselves properly.
