This can't be right - U2's YouTube Channel has 99 million views

[cjboog]

This is amazing. As of yesterday, U2's youtube channel had about 20,000 subscribers and 1 million views. Right now it says that it has 99,184,180 views and 89,152 subscribers.

If that number of views is correct it means MILLIONS of people tuned in to watch the concert. If you assume the average person maybe clicked in and out of the page 10 times, that would mean about 10 million people watched the concert! THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE NUMBER.

It's so incredible that I'm having a hard time believing it right now.

It would appear that this number is correct (its at 104 million now due to people looking for the re-broadcast). Now that is in fact a massive number but consider that it was broadcast all over the world. It might have been the "perfect storm" to generate attention in that you have the 1st ever live broadcast of a concert, which went very well IMHO, and then add to it one of the most popular artists in the world (i.e. they can pull in 1 million views from dozens of countries all over the world). Its pretty cool and that was a good observation by you because I didnt even notice that (I too saw 1.278 million views last night but not the 104 million now)

This will make U2's channel the most viewed in YouTube's history by a wide margin. INCREDIBLE. And all in one day.

U2 - 110 million views
Fred - 66 million views
Nigahgia - 56 million views
Smosh - 41 million views
Universal Music - 37 million views

[KhanadaRhodes]

[elevated_u2_fan]

I was going to ask - how long until they rebroadcast or allow me to watch it again or whatever?

[elevated_u2_fan]

BASTARDS!!!!

 

[mikal]

didn't someone in another thread say that U2 is going through the same thing they did in 1997?

back in 2000 they would've had 15 billion views by now.

by the way, NLOTH sounded so much better in 1987.

i know! when boots leaked to itunes, i actually yawned when i heard it and nodded off at a point. it's all too much of the same.

 

[cjboog]

Now it says 6.9 million views. What's with that???

I'll take the 115m, kthxbai.

 

[nielsgov]

That is promotion! The album will probably have sales increase now.
Though I do believe that 6.9 is correct (115 would be incredible).

 

[Galeongirl]

Talk about promotion, bitches. U2 win again.

Awesome.

 

[OrARoundabout]

U2 win the internetz

And in 1997, it would have been 105 Billion - none of this million crap. Because we all know how popular "Pop" was!

Fred called and complained.

eta: I looked up Fred (because I've never heard of him) and the fact that he has the 2nd most viewed channel makes me lose my faith in humanity

You're not the only one.

The fact he has shirts in Hot Topic is disheartening, as well.

[mikal]

U2 should retire, these numbers are embarrassing!!!11

 

[Max_theHitman]

I was hoping to be 1 billion views by now. But it will be soon.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

It's now the second highest music channel:

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

 

[Max_theHitman]

By the way WHAT IS UP with this weirdo "Fred"?? Do people actually enjoy seeing this?
I don´t get it.
