Broadcast fantasy made me smile

This is a bit of an update on the last post I put up. I recently uploaded a new song to Youtube, and the response exceeded my expectations. The name of the song was “Broadcast fantasy”. It was a bit of an amusing poke at addiction to television.

The honours I got for this video were more than I could hope for, and there were a couple of firsts too. Literally.

Youtube runs an honours system. Which calculates on a daily, weekly, monthly and all time basis. They have top 100’s for Most viewed, Top rated, Most discussed, Top favourites, Most responded, and a few more on top of that. There is a collective set of top 100’s that are global, and then there are those that are broken down into countries. These are also broken down into categories. So you could have a video in the top 100 Most discussed of all videos in the world, or you could have one in the top 100 most discussed Music video in the UK.

It’s easier to get into the top 100’s of some countries because there are less people using Youtube in those countries. The U.S. is the most difficult, and the U.K. is quite difficult as well. Which makes my achievement better in my eyes

I normally get a batch of honours for each video I upload, and this is because I have a fair amount of subscribers and friends on my channel, but the last video I uploaded topped them all. I got my first number 1. Not just one, but two!

#1 - Top Rated (Today) - Music (United Kingdom)

#1 - Most Discussed (Today) - Music (United Kingdom)

That was on the 4th June. I was so pleased with them, that I put them in the video description.

Here’s an update on my Youtube statistics.

Subscribers - 651

Channel viewings - 14,196

Total video views - 211,513

I’ve got some interesting news coming up in my next few posts. Something I’m getting quite excited about
