This is an update to my previous post. I recently uploaded a new song to Youtube, and the response exceeded my expectations. The title of it was "Broadcast fantasy". It was an amusing view of TV addiction.
My honours for this video were more than I thought they would be, and there were a couple of firsts too. Literally.
Basically, Youtube has an honours system. Which works 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 an overall set of top 100's that are worldwide, and then there are those that are divided into countries. These are also subdivided 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 regularly get honours for each video I upload, and this is because I have a decent amount of subscribers and friends to my Youtube 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 happened on 4th June. I was over the moon with them. I put them in my video description as a reminder.
Here's an update on my Youtube statistics.
Subs - 651
Channel viewings - 14,196
Overall video views - 211,513
I've got some interesting things going on at the moment, and I'm going to be talking about them in my next few posts. It's all exciting stuff
