Since I am streaming GT in a loop pretty much all day long, and I was worried if those listens counted, I did a little research and found this from someone who says he is a Spotity sofewaRe developer in answer to a question from a concerned user. I did a little checking and he seems to work for Spotify. This answer is about a year old. QUESTION: If I play the same song over and over on Spotify, will all those plays/listens contribute to revenue for an artist or is there a maximum number of repeat plays permitted, per user, per day, that result in revenue for an artist? ANSWER: Mattias Petter Johansson, Developer @ Spotify. From a technical standpoint, we have no such max limit. There might be possibly be some in individual deals or some anti-spam measure to prevent intentional misuse, but I think it's safe to say that it's really good for an artist if you play their song on loop all day. Cool find!! They will not answer this question, but their developers know what is counted.  It may very well be that counts are handled differently for different purposes. For example payment of royalties v/s billboard stats. Regardless, there can be no harm in streaming in this case. If it would make you feel more comfortable stream part of the day from Spotify, part from Rdio, part from xyz - you pick any tracked source that Q3 has listed in the past. My other thought is don't forget to Shazam regularly. |

How did the twitter party go? I read a few tweets but I may have missed a bundle. Was there good response? iHeart and Warner were plugging it. How long did Adam stay on? I don't tweet so I get lost..  You don't have to tweet to be able to read their feed. BESIDES CHECK OUT THEIR BANNER~!~! twitter.com/iHeartRadio/with_replies |

Winging in from the Way Back Machine to theorize - to those who might get a smile - that "These Boys" is a kind of FU about "Fever". "These Boys" has to be one of the most radio ready, monster hits ever. Imagine if Swifty or Perry had recorded it. Would be the only song playing on radio. (Of course, same could be said for ever track on TOH). Actually, that beat is so bulletproof, anyone could have autotune recorded it and be soaring. It's just splendidly commercial. While being a great song. "Fever" was a close to sure fire radio winner as any song could ever be. Gaga wrote it. Amazing beat. Built in PR. Except for that pronoun situation. And if Gaga and Adam hadn't been imbibing, maybe gender neutral would have seemed more progressive and embracing. And Fever would have had its day. And now, "These Boys". What a driving, thriving hit song. Yet, even in 2015, still must be a Bonus Track. But lyrics like "Listen to the radio and let it go" just, IMHO, scream: Look, I can do this radio shit better-er than anyone alive, and on key, actually singing with innovation. Just a theory. Of course, "These Boys" is about as likely as "Fever" to get played. (But gotta love "Go ahead and take a number!" What a lyric!)  fifthhousesun! Good to see you! Nice theory! I never thought about it like that at all. I was thinking more on the lines of it being a standing up for yourself/empowering song for LGBT people or anyone tired of taking BS from people. That's what is great about Adam's music...it can be many different (as Adam would say) 'colors' to all of us. He gets us really thinking while at the same time...moving our bodies to the different beats in the music and having a good time! I like your idea...thanks for sharing. |

I've certainly helped the cause....  Are we doing any gifting as I got a little carried away in all the excitement?  |

YAY for Canada...Adam has now given up sleeping and eating. Tea and honey are his primary food groups. What a schedule. Bless his heart..I hope this album goes through the roof. He's busting major butt. |
