"SEVEN NATION ARMY" (White Stripes) covered by Haley on new PMJ album

[popfly38]

Seven Nation Army just keeps marching on. 16,000,194 views now. It's less than a million views behind Kate Davis' AATB for 5th highest view count on PMJ YT. A few months ago it was 3.5 million behind.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but when Haley joined PMJ I really enjoyed Kate Davis' All About That Bass, which at the time, might have been PMJ's 'hottest' cover....I 'Think' back then, it was around 13 million views (I could be wrong, maybe it was 10 million )

Is it possible, one of PMJ's biggest hits at the time of Haley's joining has only gained 4 million views since then? Creep on it's own has over 33.6 Million views

Kate's version of AATB was posted on YT on 05 Sep 2014 and had 7.5 million views on 23 Nov 2014.

On 23 Sep 2015 AATB had 13,959,696 views (just over a year after release) while Creep had 10,027,093 views (about 5.5 months post release).

As of now, since 23 Sep 2015 Kate's AATB has been viewed 3,014,681 times while Creep has gained 23,677,156 views.

Good memory Tusk. So, AAT[U]B fell off a cliff.

To me, the fact that the #4 (RAA's We Can't Stop) and #5 (Kate's AATB) have maintained their separation by around 200k plus minus for what seems like foreverandeverandever (poor Kate is never going to overtake RAA I'm afraid, we said that a year ago) indicates that these two videos are mainly watched by people watching both, i.e. checking out the top popular videos and therefore watching them all. In comparison, Haley and Puddles get extra views from people who are specifically looking for their songs. Just a theory :-) it fascinates me how #4 and #5 are tied together like a tandem.

But back to topic: I am very happy that 7NA is getting the attention it deserves, I like it hugely, more so actually than Creep because this version is really not on a well-beaten track at all, and it is a thing of beauty (with a good dose of obscure, sad, confident, strange, all sorts of spices).

AATB probably suffered from "overplay" of the original -- it was everywhere you turned for about 6 months .. including the great covers. It will definitely be one of the "period pieces" "sounds of the year" sort of fad thing.

I don't think that's entirely what happened, don't forget Postmodern Jukebox re-did AATB w/ Haley, Morgan and Ariana the same time they recorded Creep, released about the same time as Creep, and has over 27 million views since

Doing a one-off appearance with PMJ results in less subsequent exposure.

GO HALEY GO:17.023.655

Well it's official. With 17,089,649 views SNA has passed Kate's AATB, 17,089,538, for 5th highest veiwcount on the PMJ list. She may pass Robin's We Can't Stop for 4th place before the 2 year anniverary of SNA's posting on August 13. This would give Haley 3 of the top 4 PMJ videos. These milestones are somewhat mind boggling given the short time Haley been involved with Scott and PMJ. I'm sure he'd like to see Haley continue to perfom with them as she is a huge draw and maybe she will for special occassions. I sense Haley is moving on with her carrer pretty much as Morgan has. Her 8 PMJ videos are a nice legacy

Black Hole Sun was recorded in June of last year...Morgan's Dream On, about the same time, I wouldn't discount the two ladies from doing a new video now and again, but it definitely does seem like 'new blood' is in the works at PMJ....notice the lack of the ladies on PMJ's promotional material, for some time now.

OTOH I expect they will come back on 'special occasions' to perform w/ PMJ.....part of me expects Haley to be part of the Vegas show PMJ is having filmed in Vegas for a PBS special in a few days?
