Cool that SP made it on so many Spotify playlists!! I have been streaming like my life depends on it haha but I am wondering if it makes a difference to play the song when clicking on it from those playlists versus just keep running it on your own playlist. skaschep , do you know? I have no idea actually, but it couldn't hurt to show some interest in those playlists I think. I can imagine they track the plays of the playlist, perhaps even per song.

That is a great plan. Particularly good to come in from different sites -- particularly news reports because this helps Adam get more press hits.
For YT make sure that your viewing will seem like a real human to Google. They charge for the ads and they go to extremes to not count spammy views. This is not a 90% sure thing, it is a sure thing. If you play on constant repeat, they wipe out all but the first view. If you mix it up, more views count. But you must click on something now and then. You can't just play a 8-hour playlist on repeat.
YouTube will not count repeated views if they all coming over and over again from the same sources (IP, browser, cookie, user ID, other IDs). YouTube counts repeated views on a very popular songs that many are listening from start to end over and over again (since they really like the song). The YouTube algorithm is very sophisticated and designed to detect viral repleting versus spamming.
One other thing you can do, is comment and like SuperPower. If you have not done it yet, do it now.
Finally, using different browsers on the same device is now pretty useless. All the browsers will have the same IP address and the same device code. In other words, that will not fool YT. Using different devices with accounts that look like different people will work. I have a few digital people who are not me but me I used for testing in my day job. I use them occasionally for Adam things. I have been very, very careful that Google cannot connect them to me. {waves to Google bot who is now reading this. }
I keep going back and forth between Adam's YT dashboard (is that what they call it on YT?), Superpower and some random videos of his that deserve some love as well, so SP is basically every second video I play, but reading your info makes me kind of paranoid that this might still not be random enough... I noticed at one point that SP gained about 8,000 views in one hour and when I was gone for three hours it had barely gained 7,000 during that time. It just makes me wonder how that whole thing works... By the way - if views only count once you watched the complete video until the very, very end, the long end credits on both New Eyes and CIH may have been a less than ideal decision... Are we sure that Spotify counts all the loops? Since I didn't quite trust the whole thing, I created another playlist that, once again, includes SP as every second song with other Adam songs mixed in (no, I'm not paranoid at all...) and I keep it running on a different device. On Spotify all plays will be added to the amount Spotify shows on their app if they are more than 30 seconds. I have tested this and it still works. For the charts however not all plays will be counted. So far the amount of plays aren't enough to count for the charts though so I would recommend playing it as much as possible, but also try to show Spotify every now and then you are still human by selecting different songs / playlists.

Random request - anyone has the tweet from the person who turned their VIP robe into a bomber jacket handy? Thank you!

I am really underwhelmed with promo efforts so far...Am I in the minority? I agree...this is the first Adam song since “Shady” that I just love; why they didn’t lead with this during AI and all the QAL/Oscars hype I don’t understand. I wonder...I expect radio to do what it always does for whatever reason and ignore this song. What if Adam sold it as the song for some commercial for some product with a huge ad budget? Lots of exposure that way? Throwing that out there because I never would have heard Pharrell’s “Happy” without the Fiat commercial. I heard it once and was googling what song it was. I think this has some of that potential...it’s insanely catchy. I am clueless as to how this all works, but this song and video are terrific.

What are your expectations for an independent artist who is funding all this himself and may be unmanaged with just a PR rep as part of his team. (not saying that's all he has, we just don't know) SuperPower is being used in an Australian commercial, for a night time drama I think. You can pitch a song, you can't make them use it. He did say that he had to sit on SuperPower for a while because he didn't like parts of it. They went back and added some groove. We don't know when that happened by the Oscars was a while back now.

But without radio play, the song will disappear even with a tv appearance. I don't understand any of this. But have been told so many times to get over it and just shut up and stream, so I have and I do, lol. And if it is a good song (it is) it will take off by itself. Still hoping for the best tho.
