So after three days we have 50k views ... is that a success or not? I'd say it is not so bad, 50k is 50k, if these are 10-20k people then that is reaching a nice-sized audience. On the other hand it demonstrates what an enormous reach PMJ generates in comparison by being PMJ, putting something on a nearly-dead channel doesn't do the same, despite search engines and all. But to keep it real, it was never realistic that Haley would put out a single and it would explode just like that, this is to build up toward the album release and on a HER-Concord path, and for that I think 50k is a good start. But what do I know! Thoughts?
For visible success of this record I think placements will be key. Previous success doesn't necessarily translate into traffic in this age if you're not yet an established star - CHFIL can be huge and not translate into people watching SMYM, as we've seen. So Creep can continue to be great and not translate into people watching BIY.
I've been keeping track. There was about 33k at the start of yesterday, and I think 45k by the end of the day. Checked this morning and was at 55k. Now already at 64k.
LET'S GET TO 100k NEXT
