M10 2.0.3

 

So while we are waiting for me to decide on an M10 (Still have two songs to listen to), I see that YouTube celebrated their birthday by posting a list of their most watched videos.  Now, not all of them are music , or what I would listen to:  the top three were The Baby Shark Dance, Luis Fonsi's Despacito, and @CoComelon Nursery Rhymes and Kid's Videos' version of The Wheels On The Bus.  But I thought I would see which videos I KNEW I had actually watched, figuring I could do a top ten on here.  By the time I hit #500 on their list, I had seven.  Keeping in mind that the top video had 15 Billion views, here's the most watched video I myself ever posted- which had 21:

**********************************************************

So the most watched videos that I have watched ran like this:

 

At 2.4B views, Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know at 83.

At 2.1 B views, a-Ha's Take On Me at #118.

At 2B views, Linkin Park with In The End at #134.

At 1.8B views, Michael Jackson's Billie Jean at #165.

At 1.7B views, Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe- a view I immediately regretted, BTW- at #188.

At 1.5B views, Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun at 235.

And with 1.4B views, the Police and Every Breath You Take.  

I might later try to round out that top ten.  Be advised, that is FAR from all; the songs I knew, just the ones I had watched.

Anyway, I have three new entries into the M10 this week.  The first at #10 is this fun cover of the Beatles and Revolution by the Flaming Groovies...

*************************************************************

That, BTW, has around 1,000 views.  Next at #9 is an outfit called the Sam Roberts Band...

******************************************************

That came out in 2003 and thus has racked up 2.7 Million views.  The third is at #8, and is by a band I didn't know until last week was still around- the Smithereens:

********************************************************

Well, maybe they are- the song was new on Spotify, but YouTube says, nope, came out in 2011 and has 86K views.  But as you might know- the only rule on the M10 is "Chris never heard it before".  

As I glide a little farther down the YT list, here are the rest of the M10:

Lucius, a victim of numbers, slips 3 to 7 with Impressions.

Also falling is the former #1 by Greta Van Fleet, Black Smoke Rising.

Up from the bottom (or at least #9) to 5 is Linkin Park's Up From The Bottom.

Up 2 to #4, Amira Elfeky and Forever Overdose.  

Up a pair to #3, Allison Krauss and co. with Richmond On The James.

Out of the top spot to #2, Beabadoobee and Sway.

And the new #1....

...Cole Swindell and Spanish Moss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, the list ended at #535- no further entries to the Chris List.
