Well, well, it's me once again!! In my previous blog entry I included the YouTube play totals, as of today, of Ray's Great Country Ballads digital album. I embedded Ray's recording of "Sweet Dreams" because it was the lowest played audio track in the thousand play range. It was sitting with 1,146 plays. "City Lights", at 1,198 plays, as you can see only needs two unique plays to reach the nice, rounded number 1,200. I made the remark in my last blog entry that Great Country Ballads is the digital album with the most audio tracks (8) at 1,000 plays or more. I'm going to make a slight correction...this accomplishment is tied with Slow Dance, the digital album released back in April. In fact, Slow Dance has a chance of moving ahead and claiming the most audio tracks with 1,000 plays or more considering "Answer Me", as of this writing, is sitting with 980 YouTube plays. If it reaches 1,000 plays then, of course, Slow Dance will take the lead.
Ray's updated rendition of "Answer Me" from Slow Dance has gotten 980 YouTube plays. Interestingly the 1967 recording from Ray, known as "Answer Me, My Love", sits just under 800 YouTube plays...with 799. Now, isn't that some sort of neat or what?? 😮
It's worth pointing out that Slow Dance has made the most appearances on the Amazon Best Selling New Releases Top-100 list. If you search New Releases + Digital Music + Country and look over the Top-100 you'll find Slow Dance there, as of this writing, at number 55. Although the digital album's been out since April and no longer a "new release" I'm not complaining...it's fun seeing Ray Stevens among the Top-100. The letter, K, refers to plays in the thousands. An audio track at 1.4 means that the play count is somewhere between 1,400 and 1,499.
