Haley's International aPPEAL

[fover]

i POSTED THIS ON idf AND THOUGHT i'D DO THE SAME HERE.

I really like the looks of Haley's Popularity Demographics. Look how closely her popularity is to Adele's. Be mindful that, except for Haley's Free, all of the videos listed here have been out for quite a long time. I expect we will see Haley's colors grow darker and be more like Adele's within a few months.

Looks like you somehow broke that thread on IDF, it still shows zero views LOL. It's a nice graphic but we need to remember some of the videos are blocked outside of the US. Someone posted on IDF that James' video was blocked in their country.

It's a nice way to gauge, but not entirely accurate unless all the videos were not blocked.

Besides, we've known for awhile since Idoloonies that there are plenty of overseas Haliens equally hungry for Haley info.

I'm glad Vevo has it's statistics available. They were not public on any of the AI videos.

Fover, whenever I tried to copy those maps the green doesn't show up. Is there a trick to it?


While we've known that Haley has international fans* the view distribution on YT might look more like BICO for many of the videos (very light in most places). Nice to see dark green in many places on the Free video. I suspect that in some countries Vevo's promotion has something to do with that.

This graph is from BICO. Note the recent uptick in views with the release of Free on Vevo and iTunes. (A = the first referral from the Free video) BTW I've looked at the BICO map several times and was struck in the past by of lack of green outside N. America. The green is spreading on the BICO map (or at least spread some during the Vevo promotion of Free).

Just for g!ts and sh!ggles, I went back to my old haunt before I got on the Haley Roller Coaster.

An ABBA forum that originated at ABBA's official site, but was orphaned when the site decided moderating forums wasn't their thing. So an Uber fan started it, and many followed to it. I was on it for 2 + years and was amused to see that, combined, I might have had 300+ posts (While in less than a year, I've posted close to 4,000 times including Idoloonies, on Haley LOL)

If I remember right, the fans there are, as a whole, relatively elitist, especially for shows like American Idol. ABBA fans have this built in defensive attitude, because even though ABBA are super successful beyond their dreams, ABBA fans are sensitive to the barbs that ABBA are not legitimate in one way or other.

That being said, I thought, what if I give them a quick synopsis of Haley and a couple of 'sample' vids to watch?...I wonder what they would think of her? (There are Americans on this site, but it is primarily international, fans from all over of ABBA)....

They have a sub forum called, "Other Music, Artists and Groups". I clicked there and lo and behold, the first thread was called "Top 5/10 Upcoming Releases we are looking forward to in 2012". I couldn't resist....I felt kind of bad I hadn't posted in nearly two years there, but what the heck....

I'll be interested in their responses..I posted "Free" and GBTC with Irvin Mayfield for them to watch if they want...

Here's my post to the ABBA fans...hopefully they give her a shot..especially after seeing GBTC.

I haven't posted in forever, as I've been enthralled in the last two years by a 21 yr Old Chicago Native who, among her influences, are the Beatles, Corrine Bailey Rae and Etta James.

Her name is Haley Reinhart and she placed 3rd in last year's American Idol. She is a combination of blues, r&b, soul jazz and rock (with a little country). She is unconventional as far as talents goes, and has a beautiful textured voice.
Interscope signed her after the season and has given her unprecedented control over her album which debut's May 22nd. She co-wrote all the songs but one on her album. There are many videos of her performances online. (they have recently blocked her American Idol perfromances in the US).
On the youtube of her recently released debut first single, "Free", you can see she has world wide appeal as opposed to the other Idols, who's appeal is in the US primarily.I have not had an artist move me like this since ABBA.
If you pardon my indulgence, I'd like to post her debut single video and also an impromptu performance in New Orleans with Irvin Mayfield jr, a well respected and Grammy nominated Jazz musician (who recently invited her to perform with him at Carnegie Hall in October...an event that I HAVE to attend ).

I met her personally and she is as humble and pleasant as she is talented. She sounded amazing live, truly amazing....

She is an old soul in a talented, beautiful 21 yr old woman's body...she's flipping amazing and May 22nd can't come fast enough for her debut album "Listen Up!" :love4:

Very nice Tusk. I now realize that your talent for commenting on Haley sites was honed under other artist forums...you will probably hear from some on the ABBA site: "This explains why we haven't heard from Tusk in awhile".

These are ABBA fans, they've been around a loooooong time. Most average 6000+ comments. With my 300+ comments I doubt many remmember me LOL .

I admit, that I'm fearing, indifference or just ignoring, that's why I posted GBTC with Mayfield as well as "Free". If they could see her where she is best, on stage, improvisation, performing with others who are also muscally motivated. I figured that was the best way, in one video, to express what Haley is about.

How pleasant a surprise I got a first response was complimentary

^She sounds wonderful (her voice as much as your description of her).

Thank you, Xentusk.

I replied a little about how, although I love ABBA, I will never get to hear them live, where as Haley? Anything is possible, and we get to enjoy her career as it grows....I left them with another video, my all time favorite Haley video, "Like a Star", a young girl, with hopes and dreams, with innocence and such purity at 18.
(This should strike a chord with ABBA fans, as Agnetha, the blonde one, started her recording career and became an swedish pop star at 18 too)

Gathering new fans where I can....

Reporting from the Philippines:

Small changes only happened these couple of week.
Only two songs did a very big change this week's chart, and those are Haley Reinhart's "Free" from her upcoming album "Listen UP!" and Taylor Swift's "Safe & Sound" taken from The Hunger Games soundtrack. Sorry for T.S. fans but a huge fall was made, but not to worry about Haley Reinhart fans because 4 steps was made, making her song "Free" into the top 2.

1. We Are Young - fun.
2. Free - Haley Reinhart
3. Boyfriend - Justin Bieber
4. Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) - Kelly Clarkson
5. Glad You Came - The Wanted
6. Safe & Sound - Taylor Swift
7. Starships - Nicki Minaj
8. Part Of Me - Katy Perry
9. Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
10. 12:51 - Krissy & Ericka

So, there's your weekly dose of charts from the PH. Tune in again next week, and be sure to catch us in Billboard.com or in MTV.com!

I search Twitter fairly often and sometimes find tweets from people who have discovered Haley follows them, yet they know nothing about her other than she's "famous" as indicated by the mark near her name that indicates her identity has been verified

I often use this as an opening to introduce them to her music. I did this twice today: Once for someone in England and once for someone in Dubai. The latter makes me think Interscope/19 is not blindly tossing follows out as it's been mentioned elsewhere that Haley's "Free" is getting a lot of spins on a Dubai radio station.

I would think if Interscope/19 is putting forth an effort at this early stage to market Haley internationally they must think her potential is huge.
