Meanwhile, averaged over the past week, Tell Me Why is at V = 891 and C = 1.61.

I spotted that, JP. I think the full title reads “Streamlined Compatibility and Eligibility Form for Single Men, Questionnaire Version 2.2”. Agreed, an incredibly detailed prop! I imagine they had the guys fill it out for real to make it look as natural as possible.

Here are the numbers for April. Data are averaged over the period from April 1st through April 30th, except for Tell Me Why, which is just over the last two days. Sugar Man is omitted, since it’s just a day-old Sugar Baby at this point.

Almost all the numbers are up significantly this month, which may be attributable at least in part to the splash made by the Tell Me Why video. But regardless of the reason, it’s nice to be able to put a bunch of parenthetical plus signs after the titles!

For the last hour of April 30th, Sugar Man is at V = 9024 and C = 24.0. More daily data on this one in a few days.
Monthly report coming up shortly!
-
Over the past week, Tell Me Why has averaged V = 1402 and C = 2.53. So it looks like it’s not going to be the next coming of Please Mr. Postman, but it should be one of the top selections for a long time.

I’d like to add the intro to Three Dog Night’s “An Old Fashioned Love Song” to this list, but I can’t confirm whether it was played on a Hammond. Anyone know?
-
Averaged over the past week, Tell Me Why is at V = 5526 and C = 9.98. Amazing! I can’t wait to see if it has a ripple effect on the other videos in the next monthly report. Close to You has already reached its milestone number a full week ahead of the date I predicted at the end of March.

I once saw an impressive special effect from a 1930’s movie that would not have been possible if not for the fact that it was filmed in black and white. It involved a man’s face gradually transforming into that of a monster.
What they did was to add red paint to his face for the monster features. The scene was initially lit with red light, so the paint didn’t show. Then the red light was dimmed as a blue light brightened. Since the paint didn’t reflect the blue light, it now showed up clearly on his face as black.
-
Thanks for confirming that, Chris!
I noticed that Light My Fire was also on that list. I had thought of that one, but since no one here mentioned it I assumed it was a different type of organ.
That makes me wonder whether there are any other similar-sounding organs used in pop music that are NOT Hammonds. Or do you always know it’s a Hammond when you think you hear one?

Chris, my first experience with a Who album was in college. Every day I ate lunch at the campus McDonald’s (and somehow I’m still alive). Directly across a small parking lot was a record store that had a window facing me which for years displayed the Who Are You album. I wasn’t familiar with the group then, so each day as I ate my Big Mac I was constantly thinking, “No, who are YOU?”

Hey, Tomás.
I was refreshing the page frequently today as it got close, and it jumped from 199,994 to 200,001 at 1:53 PM.
I did a quick check yesterday to get a new 24-hour average, and it was around 2500 views per day, or about 1.7 views per minute, so that sounds consistent with most of what you’ve found. Five views per minute seems really high, and I’m not sure why it would be so. All I can think of is that the count is updated once every few minutes, so if you happened to time it for just the one minute during which the update occurred you’d get an overestimate.

It’s official: 200K views at 1:53 PM New York time today!

From Wikipedia:
The album cover was so popular with Alpert fans that, during concerts, when about to play the song “Whipped Cream,” Alpert would jokingly tell the audience, “Sorry, we can’t play the album cover for you!”
-
I’m not familiar with Golden Earring or Moontan, Tim, but that picture made me think of the infamous Herb Alpert “Whipped Cream” album cover. I wonder how many people who bought that one ever actually listened to it!
