Suddenly Video viewing picking up on YouTube.

415,170 views and trending 7th that's quite a pick up in last few hours. 👏 👏

They need to sponsor the video on YouTube. YouTube seems to have tailed off for music videos in recent years but there’s still plenty of music videos piling on the views. I just watched SMFF with Gente. So many similarities to XMAS, it has almost 20 million views. Be great if XMAS can accelerate into hundreds of thousands a day whilst it can because once we go into January it’ll plummet.

Just downloaded the 4 tracks on Kylie.com. Nice hearing the acapella.

Video will increase loads because it's linked to Amazon Music now so is the BTS hence why views are rapidly increasing.

Name a more perfect Management / Team!

The video must have been featured somewhere

It's gone up 6k in the last 10 mins

Maybe one of the big media outlets?

It started climbing more quickly last night (my time) it was gaining 1k every playthrough for me and going by those figures it has gained 100k plus overnight (my time)

The views on Amazon show on YouTube?

No Amazon have a Youtube account and the BTS / Official video are now linked to Amazon's Youtube account

That’s great news.

I wonder if the Amazon video views are contributing on top of the number 3 position on their Amazon chart? Hopefully not.

I’m guessing as I’m subscribing to Amazon the video view is on the 100/1 ratio whereas YouTube I'd be 600/1.

No Youtube video views still low and sales are probably about 100 sales in UK so far this week lol. But it has increased a lot in last few hours which is a good sign. It has probably been picked up by a US media outlet like Billboard or Entertainment now. I will have a look shortly.

This is what we love

Wow really has been an uptick in views on YouTube! I was wondering whether 500k by Thursday was feasible!

Nice that the BTS video can hopefully grab a couple more sales (every little counts!)

Definitely getting some more attention in other countries on social media. Seen some biggish posts from Germany, USA etc this evening.

She has done all the Radio shows

BBC, Capital, Hits Radio, Magic, Heart etc. Done the TV performances etc and all the social media interviews. All relaxed, down to earth and charms the pants of everyone. They had a strategy (not just Alexa) and its going really well.

YouTube are definitely team Amazon this week - just watched the video and then it auto-played the BTS version straight after

How can you engage with fans outside the Amazon Music ecosystem to help drive chart success? How key is YouTube to the chart campaign? 

“Fans can listen to the track in a number of ways, from the Amazon Music app, to watching the video on YouTube, to purchasing the CD or vinyl. Physical music continues to play an important role in chart performance, and Kylie fans can buy or pre-order a variety of exclusive album and single editions on both CD and vinyl via our retail site, as well as directly from Kylie’s artist store. On YouTube we set up a teaser counting down until the video’s release – building hype for the fanbase. 

“We should also recognise the role of radio airplay in driving awareness, with Kylie’s radio promotion team securing exceptional support across all key stations. The official music video, released on Friday (December 12) in the week running up to the Christmas chart being announced, provides another important boost to the track’s chart performance.”

I was just going to ask what is the radio support like for Kylie with XMAS in the UK.

Acapella can now be Purchased + downloaded from Amazon
