OOL is picking up momentum -- and starting to spread faster.  Beautiful!! Went to YT and searched for Adam Lambert Outlaws of Love. Filtered for this week only. Listed them according to view count. Total of 81 were listed. Totaling up the counts for only those with over 1000 views, the song has had 145,130 views in less than three days. (I know those counts are not terribly accurate, but they are all I had to work with. Still looks mighty fine.) cassie, I don't know how many of those views were yours... I do know that at least a thousand were mine.  |

I don't think he was talking about his songs. He's always said he loves the songs on his FYE album. I think he means some of the pop stuff that's out there now...and since I don't listen much to radio....I can't give you any example! Just take your pick of a real auto-toned, cookie cutter, repetitive beat song on the radio Top 40 chart and you'll have it! j/k (well....sort of) ;D Um, I nominate the poignant, angst-ridden, tween anthem "I Whip My Hair". The chorus goes: (chorus) I whip my hair back and forth I whip my hair back and forth (just whip it) I whip my hair back and forth I whip my hair back and forth (whip it real good) I whip my hair back and forth I whip my hair back and forth I whip my hair back and forth I whip my hair back and forth I cannot let the opportunity go by to post one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. |

YouTube does not release their formula for the counter because people will manipulate it if they do. We know a few things -- Counter is real time counter up to around 300 -- then it shifts to a batch process. That is why so many videos get stuck at 303 or so. There are other plateaus -- but the 300 is the big one. YT does not count every view and does not count most replays. That said here are some other OoL stats. The search volume on "Outlaws Of Love" is still very low -- indicating that it is still fans playing the videos vs. people hearing about the song and wanting to hear it. The YT views are also still very low -- for example, compare to these music videos: www.youtube.com/musicBut the daily view count was higher today than yesterday and there are more videos being posted from the concert and it is spreading around the web. |

I do know that at least a thousand were mine.   Um, er, yeah, that's true. But, it is equally true of any other video on YT. People play their favorites multiple times, and show them to all their friends. So, I'm counting them all!!!!  |

The chorus goes: And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh Like baby, baby, baby, no Like baby, baby, baby, oh I thought you'd always be mine, mine Baby, baby, baby, oh Like baby, baby, baby, no Like baby, baby, baby, oh I thought you'd always be mine, mine [/color] ;D |

 Poetry. Just beautiful. *applause* These are the kind of lyrics that really make you think (make you think why the fuck have I ever bothered to string a coherent sentence together ...) : : : And I can't imagine why the industry has taken such a hit on the credibility scale and why rock radio rarely plays anything from the last decade. I truly hope people stand up and take notice that Adam can write a great, catchy song, with clever (or evocative and thoughtful) lyrics, and have it be beautifully performed. He's got a tall order in front of him, but wow, it really seems like he's confident he has risen to the challenge. Was thinking this last night listening to lyrics of some song by some body on KISS FM: Blah blah blah blah blah blah barbie Working at the Arby's I look like Madonna But < something that sounded like floss, ) like Ivanna Seriously, I was thinking it would actually be a challenge to think up lyrics as bad as the ones in some of the top 40 songs right now. Scary. I think though, we are getting distracted by a red herring. It's not about the lyrics. The lyrics of top 40 hits can be funny, or referential, or clever, or "empowering" right now, but they are highly secondary to the sound: hooks and beats. The voice is just another instrument, no more valid than any other at producing this sound. I could sing the chorus to Justin's "Oh Baby" right now, it is an earworm based on melody. Case in point. Party Rock anthem. Overplayed to the max, but as fun, cheap and addictive as doritos. The beat is inescapable: 144,781,381 views in four months on the official youtube the video actually is a tongue in cheek take at a song going "viral" every day I'm shufflin'... ______________________ I know Adam can sing, I think he'll do fine at the lyrics as well (even if IMHO there is a some room for growth there), but it's these components that will get him played on Top 40, or won't if they are missing IMO. Even Rolling in the Deep has a pounding rhythm. |

Thanks for the info. It seems that it is fans, or people who are reading about the song in one of the many media references. If the you tube is embedded in the article rather than just the link posted, does it still get counted by YT when it is played on another site? |

Was this a 'one hit wonder' type of thing are did this group have other hits? |

Yes, and I was a little confused by the search assertion. Why would people be searching for it if they've never heard of it? Every story came with an embedded YT, so it came directly to the random, non-fan's door (i.e., into their feed), so they wouldn't need to search for it. |
