June 17th Laguna Beach Live!’s Jazz Wednesdays

[Himm2]

Here's another explanation (which I think Miguel aluded to):
Youtube has a 50 song Haley Mix that shows up on the sideboard when a Haley song is searched:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiT2IDpc...Dpc-nw#t=3

and "At Last" is the 3rd one that autoplays after my original "Imagine" and PMJ's "Creep". After Tusk's "At Last" are PMJ's "Lovefool" & "Habits" followed by my Nashville "Lovefool"
I think thats the main reason I keep being surprised that my 1st & 6th song on the list keep getting about 500 new views a day since I only posted them to Haleyfans and they keep getting "shared" on Youtube. Imagine is at about 15,000 views/208 likes and Lovefool is approaching 11,000.

[Tusk]

Those mixes are randomly generated so are different for everybody, this is what 'my mix' looks like:

At Last is no.1 and your Imagine is all the way at no.9....

we're talking 56k in less than, 2 months. If this list theory is true, then Imagine being "no. 1 "and been posted up longer, should have more than 15k views.... ?

Even your Imagine, Buzz' Imagine and the one posted on mine combined video views is less than 56,000

Yours (June 9th) 15K
Buzz (June 5th ) 11.5K
on mine (June 27th) 7K
-----------------------------

33.5K


At Last (June 19th) 56K

56K> 33.5K (3 videos combined)

Your "Lovefool" has been up longer than Laguna "You Know I'm No Good", yet YKING has more than double your Lovefool's views... 27.5K > 10.6K...

At 6th on your list, in this theory, shouldn't lovefool have more views that YKING since YKING is 15th on your list?

[Miguel]

Again, when the song shows up, it stands out. That leads to clicks. Clicks and likes lead to Google/YT assuming people like it. Which leads to it serving it up more (for Haley, PMJ or "At Last" videos).

That's the most plausible theory. If you want to test it, change the image to something bland with a longer title and wait a month.

There are 653,000 YT search results for "At Last."

Haley's version of "At Last" shows up at #18, right behind Kelly Clarkson's. All the videos on the first page of results have millions or hundreds of thousands of views save for Haley's and one by Sara Niemietz.

The latter video has fewer views than Haley's but more likes.

Haley: 680/4 = 170
Sarah: 1034/6 = 172

edit: Now that I've looked at Sara and Haley's videos to get the "like" counts - without watching them - they no longer appear on the front page of results for me.

Your "Lovefool" has been up longer than Laguna "You Know I'm No Good", yet YKING has more than double your Lovefool's views... 27.5K > 10.6K...

The Cardigan's video of Lovefool has 5,900,914 views.
Amy's "You Know I'm No Good" has 68,616,822 views.
Both were posted 5 years ago.

haha don't do that

[Tusk]

That would prove nothing since most videos get fewer views per day the longer they're up :/

It's more than a nice pic, the Laguna one's all have Greg's pics as thumbnails, as do many of my vids...

The boost happened after PMJ OIDIA was posted, that's a fact....a search for At Last, doesn't factor into Laguna getting a boost and continued views since the same day Ooops, I did it again debuted...

[Miguel]

Yes, it's more than a picture that stands out. It's that picture getting attention, people recognizing a familiar song title, the video getting views and likes and Google's search algorithms kicking in.

I will say that it surprises me that "You Know, That I'm No Good" doesn't have more for that very reason. Because it has all of those qualities..and although "At Last" is obviously a more famous song, she did this cover right when the Amy documentary was coming out.

Here's the first official @Dave_Damiani music video! #DestinationMoon #NoVacancyOrchestra

That saxophonist (from At Last), Dan Kaneyuki, really does sound pretty good
