Not this time

Was about to post! I'm disappointed no Haley this week, but Sarah is fantastic as always. What a gift!

I think we posted at the same time! lol

I thought it was weird that there was no itunes recording; now it makes sense.

Ahh true about the itunes recording... maybe we'll get Hales next week

As of right now the top three PMJ songs on the itunes jazz chart:
#7 Creep
#17 AATB Euro version
#32 Lovefool

PMJ has five other songs in the top 100, including Habits at #64. Haley is featured on 4 of the top 5 PMJ songs (the other being AABT - Kate Davis).

Things have quieted down a lot on the itunes front since the release of AABT and Creep following the European tour. Those songs clearly lifted the sales of many PMJ songs on itunes and brought more subscribers and overall interest to PMJ, and Haley's work continues to be dominant.

July 10th:

If you look at Haley's full bar chart on her iTune sales "Oops" already has sold as much as "LoveFool" & "Habits." The four or five percent nay sayer's may be vociferious but they don't rule, Haley does. I always injoy checking in on you Haliens, you do good work.

InItToWinIt:

At the moment, under top Jazz songs, iTunes shows:

7) Creep
9) All About That Bass (Euro)
19) Lovefool
21) AATB (Kate Davis)
35) Habits
46) Bad Romance (Ariana Savalas)
61) No Diggity (Ariana Savalas)
68) Creep (album version)
78) Blvd of Broken Dreams (Maiya Sykes)
84) Take Me to Church (Morgan James)
96) Radioactive (Blake Lewis)
108) Gangster's Paradise (Robyn Anderson)
118) Shake It Off (Von Smith)
130) Rude (Von Smith)
131) I Want It That Way (Shoshana Bean)
132) Stacy's Mom (Casey Abrams)
133) AATB (Euro album version)
134) I Believe in a Thing Called Love (Maiya Sykes)
149) Say Something (Hudson Thames)
150) Maps (Morgan James)
151) Blank Space (Ariana Savalas)
159) We Can't Stop
164) Careless Whisper (feat. Dave Koz)
187) Style (Annie Goodchild and Von Smith)
189) Titanium (Von Smith)
190) Straight Up (Ashley Stroud)

No "Oops." A search for "Oops! I Did It Again!" shows it listed as 6th for that title behind four Britney Spears recordings and one from the cast of Glee (5th).

Current listing of bestsellers for PMJ:

1) Creep
2) AATB (Kate Davis)
3) AATB (Euro)
4) Oops! I Did It Again
5) We Can't Stop
6) Lovefool
7) Habits
8) No Diggity
9) Rude
10) Fancy

Hmm... It appears "Oops...I Did It Again" is not listed in the top iTunes jazz songs.

Too fresh to be counted?

Oops! is listed in the Singer/Songwriter category for some reason.
It is currently listed as #39.

I think those "popularity" bars on itunes are based on an algorithm that goes beyond straight sales.

Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox: Social Media Case Study
JULY 13, 2015 ~ REBECCA COLEMAN

...The backbone of Bradlee’s and PMJ’s success has been YouTube. And the backbone of their social media approach is based on authenticity.

I think that that’s really crucial and in the music business, you see that there’s a shift away from the old rockstar paradigm that dominated music where artists were supposed to be seen as on a pedestal or unapproachable or something like that. The new move that this new crowdfunding model dictates is being completely open and transparent with your fans. Basically giving them access to the behind the scenes, to your thought process, to your ideas. I think that they really appreciate that. I think that for a while, the music industry wasn’t very genuine and I think that now there’s a return to those kinds of roots.--Scott Bradlee ...

New @PMJofficial video! @RobynAdele & @TheTeeTones take @katyperry's "I Kissed A Girl" back to the '50s: … #vintage

Looks like something she recorded on her own without Scott's presence. PMJ East?

Note from Miguel: I moved this post and a couple of responses from the "Happy for Haley" thread to here.

Reading the comments about PMJ's "I Kissed a Girl" I noticed there was very little flack about the way Robyn Adele & the Tee Tones performed it. At times it is daunting for Haliens because there seems to be a gaggle of nay sayers, starting with Idol, that live to disparage Haley. Why is this in Happy For Haley? Because Haley owns PMJ and I'll bet Scott is taking notice. Creep, All About the Bass, Oop's, LoveFool, & Habits; in that order are five of the top seven selling singles for PMJ on iTunes. That's amazing since Haley is somewhat of a Newbe with that group. I think we can be assured that Haley can tour with them as often as she wishes & that is happiness for all of us.

There are also a lot of the legacy pmj fans that view and comment on the first day.

Too me it's only Post Modern Jukebox if Robyn is singing. Excellent

Frankly, I found the video kind of bland. A rather generic PMJ arrangement and performance by Robyn.

Haley does shine bright with PMJ and I think she draws a much wider group of early viewers now. The IKAG video has been out more that six hours and has 3912 Likes, Oops! had 5924 Likes after four hours.

I see Scott in and out of view as the singer next to Robyn moves his right arm.
