You are taking this "hit" thread title too seriously. Again...Noel reached 600K on his own...so more than half...before being featured. And YouTube hits more likely translate into singles sales than album sales anyways. In the days of the internet very rarely does anyone buy albums when they only know that they like 1 song. Particularly in the case of artists with radio hits like Adele and Lady Gaga That being said I bought both the Bruno Mars and Adele albums and love them. Agree. (well except on the Bruno Mars  ) Some people in this thread are acting as if someone said that Noel was about sell 10 million albums around the world, and have number 1 hits in the US. No one has said that he'll sell Gaga albums, or Adele albums. Or that he'll be the next Youtube sensation and take the world by storm. People have only said that this is a very good sign, especially considering Noel's artist profile. That being that he's a 44 year old artist, who has his debut song out. This is a hit in terms of "Noel standards". I don't think anyone with any sense is saying (or acting) anything of the sort. I think I (and others?) are simply taking a bit of pause that the you tube hits are much beyond Noel's rather massive, nearly 2 decade-old fan-base and, as someone noted, a "hits lucrative" feature slot on the main page (which I'm sure has nothing to do with anything). I think it's par for the course and Noel will have a number one album for precisely one week and a successful solo tour. Nothing more. And if you're going to use something formerly non-existent (like "Noel standards"), have a blast. Cause if you use the former group he fronted as a measuring bar, you're sure to be colossally let down Again, people will twist and shape whatever they like...that's called spin. Time will judge. |

The video reached a bit over 100k views the first day. the video got featured on the second. That's when it took off. Even if you go back to the first page of this very thread you can read how he was still in the 300 thousand range and many users posted about him being on the youtube homepage. |

I hear it everyday on Kink FM here in the Netherlands. This station still claims that Millionaire is the new BE single, which is also played every day.

Here are the metrics of where views are coming since debuting on Monday:
YouTube Home Page: 351,000 (30%)
YouTube Search Box/Referrals: 70,000 (5%)
Facebook: 65,000 (5%)
NME.com: 30,000 (2%)
Guardian.com: 19,900 (1%)
Thats as much as youtube will let non account members from his channel access currently. I am assuming since those were the largest embedded video numbers that the rest came from the loyal Oasis/Noel fan base that has been waiting for new music for two years now.

hmmm... so aparently almost 50% of the views came from via those sources, then you get sites like Yahoo and Spin, not to mention Rolling Stone and that probably helped quite a bit too.
at the end of the day, who cares how the video got to 1 million views. what matters is it got there.

Just checked. Have been avoiding watching it to keep from overplaying it.
Past 1.5 million.
