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.

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

A few years ago my aunt, who was 18 when I was born, told me that when she found out that she had just become an aunt she turned on the radio and danced to Get Off of My Cloud. I looked it up and learned that it was the number one song for that very week. Likewise, the top song the week I graduated high school was Flashdance… What a Feeling.
And just to dilute the prominence of the Stones here, the Beatles recorded What Goes On on the day that I was born. (I was just a few hours too late to be a Michelle baby.)

The Wide, Wide Land kind of hits the same emotional spot as Little Willow, doesn’t it?

Jung, I remember Paul saying, when the album containing Little Willow came out, that the song was written for a friend who was going through a hard time. Not long after that the world learned about Linda’s cancer diagnosis, and I’ve assumed ever since that she was the “friend” he was referring to there. But apparently not!

Questionable is still unquestionably popular! The numbers for the past week are V = 1916 and C = 5.10.

You said it, Paddy! And in every interview I’ve seen, Judith exhibits levels of unaffected humility and genuine niceness equalled in my experience only by MLT, which adds even more to her appeal.
