Going to have to get busy watching “Wide wide land” to get it into your charts!
-
Nicholas, for January, The Wide Wide Land had V = 104 (ranked #67) and C = 0.27 (ranked #69). So there’s your baseline. If you manage to bump those numbers up significantly, I’ll let you know in the next report!

Thanks David.
See what I can do!

Nothing Questionable about the outstanding early numbers for this video! For Feb. 25th, V = 13833 and C = 36.8. For Feb. 26th, V = 11907 and C = 31.7. And for Feb. 27th, V = 8476 and C = 22.6.
Coming up next weekend: the top 20 lists for February!

Here are the numbers for February. As usual, the baby of the family (currently Questionable) is averaged over just the last five days due to growing pains, while the others are averaged over the span from February 5th through March 4th.

All in all, it was a great month! Viewership was up significantly on most songs. (Ironically, If I Fell was one of the few that fell.) IBMAP roared back up into the top 20. And which song is being viewed the most is not questionable. (Wait a minute… it IS Questionable.)
-
The latest numbers for Questionable, averaged over the past week, are V = 2420 and C = 6.44. For comparison, these are about twice as high as the figures for IBMAP at the same amount of time after release.
-
Interesting to track these trends. So 25,780 views of top twenty songs along.
Do you know of people viewing? (I assume these are not all the same person viewing each video several times a day!)

Hi, Nicholas.
I have no idea how many different people are associated with a given number of views, since YouTube doesn’t tell you who is watching. I’ve read that their algorithms weed out individual viewers’ attempts to drive up the numbers by watching the same video over and over, which helps to bring the number of views more in line with the number of people.
One unaddressable assumption that goes into the calculation of the number of simultaneous views is that each view is from start to finish. Assuming YouTube counts all partial views as views, then the C numbers are overestimates that need to be scaled down somewhat. For example, if the average view is of only half the video, then C should be half as large as reported.

Thanks David. Although I think “Wide, Wide Land” is such a good song which every ML follower should ensure they have heard, I do generally only watch it once a day at most on You Tube!

Thanks David. It’s awesome to see “Questionable” pulling so strong.
-
Questionable is still unquestionably popular! The numbers for the past week are V = 1916 and C = 5.10.
-
Thanks David,
I wonder why that .10 viewer can’t bring the other nine tenths to the game.
Thanks for keeping score,
JP

The amazing run for Questionable continues! For the past week the figures are V = 1552 and C = 4.13.

Great to see the twins dip into the archive again and share Good Day Sunshine with the world! I’ll post some daily average numbers starting tomorrow, but just a one-hour figure to start, given how quickly the viewership evolves on the first day.
For the last hour (local time) of March 27th, V = 27960 and C = 50.2. For March 28th, V = 29443 and C = 52.8. For March 29th, V = 20383 and C = 36.6. For March 30th, V = 13507 and V = 24.2. For March 31st, V = 10168 and C = 18.2.

Great news to see Questionable doing well. Thanks for pulling the stats David.
-
Continuing with Good Day Sunshine, for April 1st, V = 8639 and C = 15.5. It just hit 100,000 views a couple of minutes before I checked it. (No fooling!) For April 2nd, V = 6856 and C = 12.3.
Meanwhile, for the last week Questionable is averaging V = 1889 and C = 5.03, which is actually a slight increase over the previous week. It should reach 200,000 views in a few days!
Coming up Sunday night: the monthly stats for March.

Thanks David! That is just awesome to hear about Questionable. May it continue to snowball as more people discover MLT through it.
