Nice interview with John Kearns. I know it was just aired, but I wonder when it was recorded? Adam sounds very healthy and perky and totally himself. Hope he's just about recovered by now. I think we're all going a bit crazy. He recorded this on 25 September already. He was wearing that shirt that day: twitter.com/JohnKearns/status/1179078780658339841

twitter.com/PattiHum/status/1182391248885145600PattiHum @pattihum Some Streaming Facts Read: tl.gd/n_1sr1i69I saw a tweet a few days ago that had, what the person thought, was the correct equivalent units that will equal a sale, for Billboard. I meant to reply then, (because she was way off on all 3 accounts) but I wasn't at home when I read it, and forgot when I got home. Anyway, here are the facts, as of this minute. This is the policy as of May 2018. "The Billboard 200 will now include two tiers of on-demand audio streams. TIER 1: paid subscription audio streams (equating 1,250 streams to 1 album unit) and TIER 2: ad-supported audio streams (equating 3,750 streams to 1 album unit)…the Billboard 200 will continue to not incorporate video streams." And for singles, for Hot 100: “[The chart] will have multiple weighted tiers of streaming plays for the Hot 100, which take into account paid subscription streams (representing a full point value per play), ad-supported streams (representing a 2/3-point value per play) and programmed streams (representing a 1/2-point value per play)." The formula is 150 streams equal 1 sale of a single. Have to admit, I knew the subscription streams had more weight, but I did not realize the free streams were weighted so low. OFC, previously, I think the free streams did not count at all. The biggest news to me was that BB does NOT COUNT VIDEO STREAMS AT ALL! So, what does that mean. Stop viewing the video? NO! Because radio and streaming services will notice high video views. So do not stop viewing the video! Bottom line is 1) Paid subscription streaming is better. 2) Free streaming does count though. So do it, if that's all you can do, and do it as much as possible. 3) Try to fit a few views a day in of the music video. Because it counts for the artist's $$. Radio and streaming services will notice high view counts. Do not do a playlist for videos though. YT wants organic views. I really think the fanbase is doing a great job for Velvet and Superpower. We are not as big as we used to be & the streaming count, first week, was respectable! Radio is starting to play the single, so now is the time to stream more, not less! Make casual fans notice these songs! #SUPERPOWER

Sizzling, thank you so much for the lyrics to Stranger You Are. The song finally makes sense to me. Sometimes I wish Adam would sing lyrics just a bit more clearly. I really love the message of that song! And thank you skaschep and Cleopatra. Your explanations just go to show how little I understand all these different charts, streaming, downloading, etc. I just don't keep them straight. It just always seemed to me that that the foreign markets were more supportive than the US, but I guess that is not really true. Good news, actually, that the US does support him well. I just want to hear that he is IS making money with Velvet, enough for a solo tour. Great to see the ratings for the GC show! I have to believe that QAL had something to do with the higher ratings. The lyrics for each of the songs on Velvet Side A are under the audio videos if you click on 'Show More'.

Thanks for the streaming info! It's very important to know this stuff. I'm not Spotify streaming a lot. Each stream counts. Gotta do more video views.
The important point here is not to slow it down. We are doing a good job, but it would be great to get on more playlists and get the song(s) heard.
