I am already on it I dont think the totals update straight away so probably has had many more views than it is currently showing.
When I first clicked the link it said 360 view, the after about 2 listens it jumped till 571. It does take it a while to count up, I remember someone asking about this before about another video. Someone explained why that is but I can't remember.

I am surprised that none of the x factor lot have tweeted out the link tbh... especially since they were all asking people to vote for Laurens brother on BGT...
With them all seeming so close you'd think they would.

yeah, it will take overnight to show an accurate amount of views.

Yes, a bunch of us tweeted all of them, Fleur, Ben, Lauren, Stereokicks, Stevi, OTY... The only one who responded and put it on his timeline was Jay James....

Are any of these tracks collaborations with major artists as rumoured? Does anyone think Jennifer Hudson will feature on You Pulled Me Through?
That would be very cool for Andrea Great publicity! And a route into America???

I seen on twitter earlier a girl said she had gotten the chance to listen to Andrea's album, think she was an editor or something, and she was saying how amazing it is and we are all in for a treat
It's all making me so excited now, I'm so happy hearing so much positive stuff coming about it all.
Yes I saw that as well, like you say its making me more excited to hear what he has store for us

Hi everyone - you all probably know that Andrea turns 21 on the 17th June... A couple of fans who run his main Twitter fan page are collecting together birthday wishes to give to him, as a surprise, via an on-line page on his birthday. They are just looking for typed notes, preferably a screen-shot of one, and/or photos of anyone with Andrea, or favourite Andrea photos, pictures, collages, that sort of thing... The results will be published on his birthday - until then, they are trying to keep it a surprise, so you won't see any tweets about it.... If you are interested, private message me and I will give you the email address to send them to

I saw that - lucky girl! And another journalist also tweeted that she had heard it, and The River was her favourite song on there... It's tough to be patient, isn't it

Jahmene Douglas was signed to RCA, he got to duet with Stevie Wonder as well as Nicole Scherzinger on his debut album.

I wouldn't have thought youtube views mattered as much as preorders/spotify streams (spotify is currently having repairs so isn't showing the amount of plays yet) where he seams to be fairing quite well? Considering promotion hasn't properly kicked off yet anyway. He needs to do a radio tour and at least one television performance to properly get the song out there.

It's strange that RCA/Sony/Vevo haven't promoted the link at all... When SK had their video up it was tweeted loads by Sony and Vevo, as well as being featured on the Vevo website amongst other things. I'm hoping this is all to come.

Hopefully with press, interviews and the live session coming up things will fall into place

I'm still wondering whether Kelly Clarkson has anything to do with the album

I seen that one too.... I can't wait to hear the album, it's not easy being patient. Wonder what songs he'll sing during his live session

I can't wait for that. I hope his own songs are a success because singer/songwriters have a better chance of longevity. Have you noticed that he's really working the media now, promoting himself. He has to do it. I think he was reluctant originally but it's a matter of survival.
Will Dermot play the single on radioleary, I wonder.
He's more active on social media now which is good but he still doesn't seem to gain any new followers, they're decreasing slowly. I know it's early days so fingers crossed that will change soon.

His single didn't do well but it was released on the same day as his album. His album went straight to number one.

It feels like SK have had loads of promo for their single, it started pretty much after the tour. They have the backing of showbiz editors too.

I'm hoping with him starting to do more interviews and stuff all that will pick up soon

What I'm thinking (and hoping) is that it's still just really early days and the promo will happen eventually and really pick up. What will really make the difference is which radio stations get on board and what tv slots he gets (Graham Norton/Alan Carr are probably the best ones atm)

It takes time for a song to spread, by July 10th we should be in a good place!

That's what I'm thinking, gives it plenty of time to build up and get round before 10th July.

Yes, he's lost a few thousand in the last couple of months I am hoping that they are mainly people who were just into him as an X Factor contestant and are no longer interested... He was very quiet on Twitter for a while, so people may have just forgotten about him, then now he is more active, they are deleting him.... It is a shame. I hope that numbers rise soon....

I think you know, but I am genuinely annoyed by this....

Fickle people, he doesn't need them as fans anyway. The numbers will start rising again, I'm sure of it
