I rarely share music on fb, but this is exceptional. If it doesn't put a smile on your face, I have nothing for ya.

Seemed like it took a bit of time to go from just under 29M to barely over. But maybe that was just me being impatient.

It took 21 days, although it reached the mark early on day 21. It took less than a full day longer than the previous million. Lots of indications that people are being guided to the video and other PMJ videos by YT recommendations.

It is great that Haley has come so far that the bar has been raised to the level where we can be impatient about a video taking three weeks to gain a million views. Hopefully she will move up to the next level soon.

Billboard: Inside Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox World
3/11/2017 by Michele Amabile Angermiller

"Think about Motown and Berry Gordy: he brought in the singers that he wanted, matched them with a song and with great musicians, got them all in a room together to make a great record. That’s kind of the tradition that we try to keep alive."

It’s a brisk February night in New Brunswick, N.J., and Scott Bradlee, band leader of Postmodern Jukebox, is in front of a packed house...

Years later, that schtick morphed into Postmodern Jukebox, Bradlee’s collective of musicians, entertainers, assorted American Idols and one sad clown named Puddles. The group has recorded 13 albums, performing songs like Fountains of Wayne's modern rock hit “Stacy’s Mom,” Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” The Chainsmokers and Halsey’s No. 1 hit, “Closer,” and Radiohead’s “Creep,” which features Idol season 10 star Haley Reinhart and went viral. Other Idol alums appearing in videos include...

Fans are already flocking to the group’s YouTube videos. Reinhart is the reigning queen of page views, with more than 29 million hits on her version of Radiohead’s “Creep."


Her duet with Abrams, an updated jazzy version of Meaghan Trainor’s “All About that Bass" (PMJ originally covered the song in 2014 with Kate Davis on the double bass) is just as successful with about 23.5 million views.

....
On the charts, seven of the group's albums landed on the Heatseekers chart, including two top 10s (Twist Is the New Twerk, No. 7 in 2014, and The Essentials, No. 5 in 2016). Postmodern Jukebox also wracked up 13 top 10s on Jazz Albums and 25 top 10s on the Jazz Digital Song Sales chart, including two No. 1s, both featuring Reinhart: “All About That Bass” (four weeks in 2014) and “Creep” (two weeks in 2015).
....
Indeed, Bradlee says that the possibilities — and genres — are endless. “We have a video coming out soon that’s going to be our first metal song,” he says, adding, “It’s a great feeling to kind of wake up each day and be, like, I’m completely in control of this project and can do whatever makes me happy. I don’t have to worry about pleasing the record label. And to know that there’s this fan and artistic community that’s rallied around this cause. It’s a pretty fun adventure.”

[Miguel]

I think Scott is set for life. It's like he has his own record label with a distinct sound -- such as Motown -- but he doesn't have to worry about it ever going out of style because he's not dependent upon radio play. Because it's recorded material it keeps on giving. The tours are gravy and good publicity.
