Ghost Town is the only thing that counts until the album is released. The music video now has 4.97 million views and should reach 5 million before midnight (Sunday, 23:59 NY time). Until the album drops, playing the music video seems to be as efficient as streaming Ghost Town. Is it true that streaming GT 10 00 or 15 00 times, after the album drops, will count for the single and as an album? Oops, I forgot some zeros. Clock for the album starts at midnight tonight ET. Everything counts from TOH!!!! Because the new weekly charts that include Adam's album start at midnight tonight ET?? EDIT It will be nice for Adam to have 5 Mil on the GT video before all of that starts. Gonna happen any minute!

I love the photo of Adam wearing leather pants and sitting in a well-worn leather chair. The setting is probably an office, but could pass for an old British club. Needs a story. Oh, it is just ripe for a story. Perhaps a spy thriller from WWII. Or, I am reading a guilty pleasure fantasy vampire novel and he could easily play the lead. It was my first thought when I saw the pic. Love the WWII spy thriller. Many, if not most, US celebrities were spys during WWII. I nearly fell off my chair when I read that Julia Child was a spy.

I think we determined a while back that you can stream on demand on free Spotify except perhaps on a phone. Paid Spotify allows you more playlist-sharing options and off-line playing. As long as you're selecting the song and playing it and it isn't playing from the library on your device, it is streaming, and I am doing that with both my iPad and my PC. They had a special offer of $.99 for 3 months and this seemed like the perfect time to subscribe. On my iPhone it says Available Offline, but we have to stream it online, right? As long as I don't turn on "Available Offline", I'm streaming online? I have wifi, so the streaming would not count towards my data I'm assuming.. Please correct me if I'm wrong. That's what I did, too. My receipt says my next payment of $9.99 is due in September. I can cancel before the regular charges apply. Edit My son informed me a while back that technically we had a data limit on our Comcast wifi of 300 GB per month and we regularly exceeded the limit. However, Comcast has said that they don't enforce the limit. If you are streaming on your device outside of wifi, you might have data fees. And if you are paying streaming costs and data fees, it might be more cost effective to simply buy one more album.

Just doing some figuring...
24 x 60= 1440 min in a day
1 song = 3.5 min
1440 / 3.5 = about 441.5 songs in a day
1500 songs = 1 album
1500 / 441.5 = 3.4 days
It would take one of us 3.4 days playing only TOH songs 24/7 in order to gain 1 album sale through streaming.
I suppose there is something to be said for establishing Adam's fans as twenty-first-century consumers of music.

One more thing about Amazon Prime, only the old songs are free. If you want to listen to newer songs, you have to buy them. Once you buy them, they go on your cloud. I don't understand how playing the album from your cloud counts for streaming. Maybe I'm just confused, again. It doesn't count if you play your music from the Amazon cloud but the Amazon stream counts Does this mean that only the temporary Amazon streaming, that is going on right now, counts??

I have Amazon Prime and I have Kindle tablet. It says I get Amazon Prime music for free. What do I need do to make my listening count for the TOH album? I have Amazon prime and have been trying to set it up on my Kindle. I am not sure but it seems to be tapping into my Amazon cloud to play Ghost Town and will probably do the same with TOH. If am not mistaken I think plays from downloads don't count as streams. If you get your free prime set up please share how to info. I thought it was a good idea for a few minutes, but there were problems. I had bought Amazon Prime on my youngest's student account. I mainly wanted to read, so I registered the Kindle in her older sister's name because she has all of the books. I was going to re-register in the Prime account, but I think you have to buy the songs and I'd lose my books back to the cloud. It was easier to go ahead and buy a prime Spotify account for 3 months for 99 cents. My son's Kindle is registered on the Prime account and he already listens to the music, so he'll play the album. Anyway, thanks!
