Melliemom, please understand I am not being confrontational here, just sharing my thoughts: I have a peculiar POV when it comes to the view counts. I would prefer natural increases due to non-fans watching the video casually or because they like it. If he does not get a million hits in a week, it simply means that's how much interest there is in the video, nothing more, nothing less. If 100 fans try to play the video non-stop, YouTube will remove most of those views anyway, but even if they would succeed, the higher number would mean he has a few dedicated fans, not a large following. When GT gets millions of streams, it is because people love the song. A few weeks ago I was in a meeting with the president of our company. His phone rang, and guess what his ring tone was? Are we trying to show the world how popular he is by his view numbers, or are we trying to understand from the numbers how popular a song actually is?

Are we trying to show the world how popular he is by his view numbers, or are we trying to understand from the numbers how popular a song actually is? I understand your POV kryptoman68 and I think we all wish that his video's view counts are going up because of non-fans watching the video. I must say that a lot of non-fans are tweeting out about the video already and that is very nice to see. So they are watching. 1 view by 100 people is better than 100 views by 1 person in that case. However you have to reach a certain amount of streams or views to get noticed. Fans can play a part in this and fans from all artists do this and are highly successful with it. Justin Bieber doesn't get to 100 million because 100 million people are watching his MV's. It's mostly because his fans are viewing his video's tons of times. High view amounts get songs in charts though and also played on the radio. The perfect example of fan action maybe was when GT was close to making it into the top 50 in the world on Spotify last year. It was hovering for quite some time between position 50-60 during most of August 2015. It was struggling to get into the top 50 and spend 9 days on #51 and then it started dropping again by the end of August. It dropped to #60 by September 1st. Around that time I tweeted out to fans to help push GT into the top 50. It got tweeted all over the world and by September 6th GT was #49. Being in that top 50 sped things up and 10 days later GT was #37! It stayed in that top 50 until October 14th and I do believe that helped the song a lot! If it wouldn't have gotten into that top 50 then it's lifespan would have been much shorter and maybe it wouldn't even have gotten to Gold status in the US. The peak in streams for the US was September 18th with 187k streams that day alone. All I'm saying is that you can make a difference as a fan. Especially when a new song is dropped. Radio watches streams and views. If they don't see enough streams they won't play it. I think the Fifth Harmony fans are masters of streaming the songs tons and tons of times and so getting the songs to radio. Those songs aren't that special, but they get noticed because they get streamed a lot and then more people see it and it speeds up further. By now they reached a certain mass in fans and people who know them that it almost goes without effort. I am very sure WTTS didn't make it on the radio in the Netherlands because fans in the Netherlands didn't stream it enough. There were around 4,500 people in the HMH in April. If all those people stream his song 10 times per day it will get into the Spotify top 50 and it will be played on radio. GT didn't need that. It was noticed right away by some radio dj's here and spread like wildfire after that. It also went viral on Spotify right from the start in the Netherlands. That song was so good and catchy. You don't need to stream 24/7, but what you can do is play his songs at least a couple to 10 times a day. If all his fans do that his songs will get onto charts and lists and non-fans will notice it and they will play it as well. If his songs don't make it onto those lists those non-fans won't even know it's there and they won't play it. Share and spread out!

Are we trying to show the world how popular he is by his view numbers, or are we trying to understand from the numbers how popular a song actually is? Good question.. my answer is pretty simple I love the song so I'm promoting it .Everyone can do what they want to do.. you can ignore my nagging .. I don't have an agenda.. I have done this for 6 years with Adam's music.. That's my way of being a fan.. ..To add thank you Skaschep you are right on target... How many times has Adam thanked his fans for helping him.. this is the perfect way of helping.. It sure doesn't hurt and every fan group does it..I can't think of a better way to make the world sit up and notice our guy...The repeat has the same song but on different venues so it won't be taken down.. That's why it was done in this manner plus it has advertising.. so no problem in replaying ...but again we are all fans in different ways.. I will continue on until it reaches 1 million plays.. Unless you throw me off Adamtopia..

Anyone still wonder why I want Adam to sing classic American Songbook selections?
No mic, no reverb, no accompaniment, no rehearsal, just tossing off a little ditty. Yummy!!!
