Hi Chris, thanks for that. That’s pretty random and awesome that a Hong Kong trance/house band would be named after the Twins. Maybe I’ll scrape up the $1.29 to buy their song to support their good taste in band name inspirations. It would be wild if they started doing trance interpretations of “In It For Love,” “Any Other Day” or…

Hi Mike, I think that’s a pretty safe limb. But it leaves the question, who are these imposter “Monalisa Twins”? Also, if someone buys the song on Apple, do the real Twins get royalties?

Here’s the other find. I hope the photo displays okay. It’s just a screenshot from Apple Music. Unless the Twins have an alter ego as a techno house music band, this isn’t theirs. But here’s the video anyway.

Hi all,

I was poking around the iTunes store, curious to see what kind of presence the Twins have there. It was interesting to see which songs were most popular among their digital downloads. But then I saw a couple of titles I’d never seen before. How is such a thing possible??? One has to be a case of mistaken identity (I’ll post something…

Hi folks, I’m glad this topic has come back around because I recently found another musical family on Youtube that’s done a couple of Beatles covers. They’re French and have a bit of a jazzy vibe. There’s not a whole lot on the channel, but they’ve got a nice sound with three voices and one acoustic guitar. Anyway, here’s their cover of Martha…

Woohoo! Youtube really made me wait for this one! I kept checking and checking until eventually I just had to leave the house. And then 20 minutes later, I checked on the road and sure enough they had crossed the mark. I just got back home and saw another update, to 100,028,126. Probably 100 of those were from me checking the count!

I discovered…

Hi MLT Clubbers. I became a paying member in July 2022. A few weeks later, on August 9, I started to keep track of the total views and subscribers to the MLT Youtube channel. Total views then stood at 80,523,146. Now, 555 days and 736 entries later, the MonaLisa Twins Youtube channel is about to pass a significant milestone. As of my last…

Hi David,

Here’s the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tibees or just search “Tibees.” She’s a New Zealander who sounds like she should be teaching kids the alphabet but likes exploring topics like black holes, fractals, and higher level dimensions. She’s definitely worth watching especially if you’re more of an interested lay person than a PhD…

I’m a Patreon member for a Youtuber who posts physics videos. I very rarely log on, but I don’t think there’s all that much going on there. Still, it’s for a good cause. The MLT Club is way more exciting and engaging, even if I don’t get over here as much as I’d like. I always look forward to the Friday post and the discussions there and here…

Ahh, thanks, David, for solving that mystery. I thought I had seen the video count on their channel at 176, but it’s not a number I’ve been tracking. I don’t know why YT would subtract views when a video is removed, since, like I said, you can’t un-view a video. At any rate, it won’t be long now, with views at 99,029,797 as I write, before…

Hi Dennis, thanks for those stats. I tried to track the contributions through YT, but got bogged down by the currency conversions. Thanks for powering through on that.

One more tidbit about the Livestream. YT reports channel subscriptions as they tick up in 1,000 subscription intervals. Over the last year, MLT channel subscribers have increased…

I just saw it mentioned on Twitter. Very sad.

Hi David and Tomás,

I haven’t been able to check in much lately, but it’s nice to see the resident MLT statisticians are still hard at work. David, it’s cool to see some of the analysis you’re doing, addressing some of the questions I’ve had about viewing trends with new posts. I’ve got daily channel views and subscriber counts for pretty…

Hi David and everyone. I’ve been away from the Forum for a bit. I hope everyone’s been well. David, since you mention “The Winner Takes It All,” I’d like to add a second ABBA song from late in their catalogue: https://youtu.be/AtjFLUx-a5M?si=r4r48hfGCxIqL-Ll
