Two years ago today, Haley Reinhart's cover of Can't Help Falling In Love from the viral @ExtraGum commercial hit #1 on US Viral 50 chart!

The Story of Sarah and Juan is still an active commercial
Spotify reports National Airings - 23,112

I meant iSpot.tv not Spotify. Today the number is 23,255. Close to 50 airings per day in the past three days.

And on Spotify CHFIL has been averaging over 132K streams per day for the past few weeks.

They continue to show this commercial at a steady rate of almost 50 airing per day.
Current # of airings 24197, which up 942 in the past 19 days.

CHFIL has continued to show increasing strength in recent weeks as reflected by plays on YT and streams on Spotify.

In the past few weeks it has been streamed 1 million times per week on Spotify. The top three posting of the song on YT have been getting more than 76K views per day. Plays on both services have been trending up in recent months.

These numbers dwarf the numbers she gets for Creep, which remains strong and lately has been a bit under 50K views per day on YT. Spotify stream numbers for Creep are pretty low.

Thanks for keeping track of its momentum, John.

CHFIL ought to be certified Platinum at some point in the future. On streams alone...at that rate... 75 weeks after it reached Gold status. (150 streams = 1 unit "sold")

If Extra made a flavor of gum that tasted exactly like @HaleyReinhart's version of "Can't Help Falling In Love"; I would chew gum every moment of my life!

On Spotify CHFIL continues to gain strength. It currently has 82,913,852 views and has been getting a little more that 154K per day.

Views on YT
1. Extra Gum, 2. Unofficial official, 3.(lyrics) uploads:
..5,697,400....+532,706
20,464,044....+269,830
19,061,250....+1,751,581

Total gain in past 18 days = 2,156,544 Major takeoff on YT with current daily views on these three videos currently about 120K

Spotify plus the top 3 YT videos get about 274K streams per day. That's 1.9 million per week.

[The "Paperman" upload of the song seems to be getting more views and currently stands at 3,791,418. I add that version in the count next time around.]

Edit: corrected numbers

Here is the current YT view count for CHFIL

Top four posts of the song:
Unofficial "official" upload - 15,212,503
Unofficial "lyrics" upload - 6,762,096
Official Extra Gum upload - 3,340,917
Unofficial "Paperman" upload - 1,261,204
Total - 26,576,720

The current view count on these four videos is 49,014,512 -- a gain of 22,437,792 since 1 Mar 17, which is about a week after Haley got her gold record. Counts as 146,763 records sales toward platinum status.

Spotify had about 51 million streams at that time and currently is close to 83 million. So CHFIL has gained about 32 million streams since March 1st (should be very close to that number). Counts as 213,333 unit sales toward platinum.

Together Spotify and the top 4 YT videos account for that equivalent of 360K unit sales since the beginning of March. Considering these views all occurred after the gold was awarded, and there have been some downloads of the song, I would guess the song has actually exceeded the equivalent of 400K of unit sales since hitting the gold criteria. Using the numbers from the previous post and assuming that she gets 2 million streams per day with paperman included as an estimate, CHFIL is currently earning 13.33K unit equivalents per day.

I think she will hit the platinum criteria by the end of February (which allows for a bit of a slowdown in streams). Of course, we don't know how long it took to go from reaching the criteria to being awarded the gold, but if it was more than a month then she is very close to reaching platinum status.

John,
Are those stats US stats or Worldwide stats?
