Either those are hints or big misleads.

There are a lot of #pmjsearch entries. I've listened to quite a few of the videos, or at least sampled a minute or so (if the song is Creep I go right to the middle to see how they handled all that). While are some excellent renditions in the mix, browsing the videos has given me a greater appreciation of how phenomenally talented Haley is.

Here are few I like

Evelyn is from Sicily -- difficulty points awarded for being a non-native speaker of English.














Floriana Ferro is also from Sicily

Creep has fallen out of the #1 spot on the PMJ hit parade. But no worries as she still is featured on 5 of the top 10 PMJ songs for the past week.

Just want to take a second to reflect and show my appreciation for all of you. I started Postmodern Jukebox when I was living in a basement apartment, and now we have 1.5 MILLION subscribers, all acquired through word-of-mouth sharing through people like you. You guys have spoken, and it's clear that real, organic music performed in a timeless style is alive and well. I am personally SO grateful for all of the support I've received, and for the continued opportunity to showcase talent that I believe is worthy of attention.

We still have LOTS of work to do, though. Postmodern Jukebox is NOT a band; it's a universe for all to explore, and with every visit to this universe, it burns a little bit brighter. Let's light up the sky in 2016.

I am not really sure where this belongs, but I wanted to share my discovery somewhere. I was listening to PMJ songs on YouTube. I decided that the covers I really enjoyed the most were those done in the 30's - 40's swing style. So, I searched 'swing' and came across this whole genre of music called Electro swing. I had no idea how much new much music was out there in this genre. Anyway, as usual, I am 20 years behind the times. I thought PMJ was on the cutting edge, but this movement seems to have been around for some time. It seems to have started in the '90's and from what little I can tell is mainly European groups. One group, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (from California), performed at Super Bowl XXXIII and has played numerous Pops programs with american symphony orchestras. Also, they created a new song for the movie The Wild, recorded a song for Disney's Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation Special and have performed on Dancing with the Stars.

Anyway, here is a link to one of the collections on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwWT43Eb3IM , some of the songs are really good, even includes a Benny Goodman tune, some are just ok.

And, out of curiosity, am I the only one on here that was totally clueless about this whole subject?

Think she's a front runner, not only did Scott tweet this out, but also commented on her video

Good times with great people in San Francisco

Is Quinton w/ PMJ now? I suppose a possible answer is that this is a gig of PMJ performers, but not as PMJ?

Edit: Adam gave the answer, posted the same picture and...

Had a great time being part of the @gattimusic quintet last night! Got to play in the Bay Area for the people that do those Meyers-Briggs tests. ENFP?

So it was Christina's Gig that the other's helped her out with

Summary for September.

No videos this month featuring Haley so her view numbers dropped somewhat, but as the headline above notes, they remain strong. Last week she was featured on five of the top ten PMJ videos, although Creep dropped to #2. The top spot was taken by a new release featuring Ariana.

The August numbers:
...................................Views........Views Per Day
............Total Views.....in August.......in August
SNA......1,264,298.....1,261,298........66,384 (since release)
Oops!....2,200,582.......880,000........28,387
LFool.....1,999,000.......510,800........16,477
Creep....9,283,849.....1,260,000........40,645
AATB.....7,246,499.....1,210,000........39,032
Habits....3,305,955.......450,000........14,516
TOTAL=25,300,183....5,572,098.......179,745

September:
.................................Views........Views Per Day
............Total Views.....in Sept.........in Sept
SNA......2,014,178......749,880........24,996
Oops!....2,730,511......529,929........17,664
LFool.....2,411,286......412,286........13,743
Creep...10,278,461......994,650........33,155
AATB.....8,115,517......869,018........28,957
Habits....3,652,579......346,624........11,554
TOTAL=29,202,532...3,902,349......130,078

So, September overall views are down 30% compared to August. Yet considering that she did not have a new video this month, the numbers remain impressive. Every week her PMJ videos are watched, and listened to more than 900 thousand times.

For the month Creep is back to where it was in the first week of August, before 7NA was uploaded to YT. But Creep's view rate hasn't been tailing off recently; the video has averaged about 35K views a day since hitting 10 million on the 22nd. Her Creep has legs. Creep is currently #4 in the all time PMJ chart, but it has been receiving nearly 25K more views per day than the #1 song (WCS) in recent weeks.
