David Herrick might like this diversion from his usual counting. “Drive My Car” isn’t just the most viewed song posted by MLT on YouTube, it is the most viewed cover of that particular Beatle song. How do other MLT covers rank, I wonder? Use the filter “View Count” in your searches. Have fun.

David, after watching “She’s a Woman” on the first day of release I didn’t notice until a week later that it was well passed 100,000 (currently at 170,000 on day 16). Now I see that “She Loves You” is at 122,000 on day 3. What do you think made these two get so many more hits after their initial release than most MLT new releases? Do most…

When I joined the Club nearly 3 years ago, MLT had 14 songs with one million views. I watched the count go to 20 which is when I started this thread. Their now at 21 with 3 in the cue in the next 30 days or so. “Nowhere Man” will be the second song released AFTER I joined the Club that hits 1,000,000 views. “Please Mr. Postman”,…

Thanks again, David, for keeping up with this. I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from MLT, but I have noticed that “This Boy”, one of my favorite Beatle songs and MLT cover will hit 2,000,000 views today or tomorrow.

Welcome to the Club, Patrick. MLT has had posters for sell in the past but they seem to be out of stock at the moment. Hopefully when they release their new album there will be a new poster as well.

I was hoping we might see another song hit a million views by the end of this year. Perhaps the release of new songs will bump up the daily views for their older stuff as well.

“Politician”, by the way, has 1.7 million views on Facebook. I believe it is their 3rd most watched video on that platform after “Wish You Were here” (4 million)…

Hey David, do you have an estimate on when “Here, There and Everywhere” will reach 1 million (it hit 900,000 today). It seems the most likely to reach this milestone first among those close to 900,000. Unless “Nowhere Man” is on a much faster pace.

Thank God. Happy Birthday Lisa and Mona. I look forward to hearing you sing “Club 27” live someday. So sorry, that’s an awful pun.

Those of you not on Facebook may have missed MLT’s announcement that they reached this milestone today. Congratulations Lisa and Mona!

I sometimes wonder why, with 200,000 subscribers, there are videos with so few views. The first thing I did when I discovered MLT was watch all their videos. I may have only watched this one two or three times, but I did watch it, along with all the behind the scenes videos that also seem to be less popular.

Don’t start the party yet, but we should see MLT reach 200,000 subscribers in the next week or two.

Meanwhile, on Facebook, “I Bought Myself a Politician” is still getting, by far, the most views per day. It now has 1.4 million views, getting roughly 200,000 views per month.

“Close to You”, with about 500 views per day, will hit one million views on FB in a few more days. Unlike YouTube, there is no easy way to see when it is on the verge…

I’m in Omaha, Nebraska. There’s an outdoor amphitheater outside Omaha, in Papillion, that would be a great venue for an MLT concert.

By the way, WYWH is at 1,999,960. I need to step away from my computer for an hour or so, so I expect I’ll miss the turn.

Tom, for covers, probably nothing (it’s complicated). For their originals, figure it’s about $1000 per million views, give or take a few hundred. Even if they were receiving money from all their videos, with about a million views per month (currently) that’s only about a $1000 a month. Add in the money from their album and merchandise sales…

Now that MLT has reached 20 songs with over one million YouTube Views I thought it was time to start a new thread to mark milestones. With David Herrick doing a lot of the counting on Youtube I’m going to count on him to make sure I don’t miss any.

First up, and I’m sorry for the late notice, is “Wish You Were Here” rapidly approaching…

I was wondering when you plan to post your cover of “Vincent” to your public YouTube Channel. I’m sure lots of your fans would love to see Mona on the accordion. And, of course, it’s a great cover.

Also, do you happen to know when you reached 100,000 Facebook followers? I usually make a note of how many followers a celebrity has when I…

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the Wagner family. Here’s the cover that you requested last year:

One of the things I’ve discovered when I try to sing while playing the ukulele (other than that it isn’t easy) is that I need to remember to breathe. Has this ever been a problem for you?

I’ve been out of town for a week and away from computers, so I missed a couple of milestones this past week.

“I Bought myself a Politician reached 1 million views on Facebook (in less than 6 months, which is great for an original)

“Till There Was You” became the 20th video to reach one million views on YouTube.

“Questionable” should reach…

I just wanted Jim Frei to to know that at least one of us didn’t miss the “Heart” throb reference in his picks.

As for me, I had a crush on Susan Dey (The Partridge Family). I knew she was just playing a part, but I always wondered if she could really play the keyboard and sing.

“Wish You Were Here” reached 4,000,000 views on FaceBook. I don’t know exactly when except that in was in the last week. Meanwhile, “I Bought Myself a Politician” is over 800,000 and still climbing fast. It should hit 1,000,000 in two to three weeks.

3 cm to be precise (according to Lisa). Somewhere their exact heights are given but I couldn’t find it with my searches so far.

Meanwhile on Facebook, “Walking in Air” outpaced all other Christmas videos. From Dec 7 to Dec 29, WIA went from 117,000 to 228,000 views (nearly 5000 views per day). “Drummer Boy” had 65,000 views in that period (2800 vpd) and “All I Want Christmas to Be”, jumped about 10,000 views (430 vpd).

For non Christmas songs “I Bought Myself…

The MLT cover of HTaE is creeping up on a million views (maybe in 2022). It is currently the most watched cover of this song on YouTube. However a cover made last year by Josh Turner Guitar will likely surpass it sometime next year (he has three times as many subscribers).
