Van Halen's Youtube Problem
A simple question - of great importance for the band - why does "The Final Countdown" from Europe have 550 million views on youtube while Jump has only 45 million. "The Final Countdown" is from the same era, same type of pop single, but was in no way 10 times more successful than Jump back then.

I notice certain videos have a ton of views depending on when and who put them up.
Similar to duplicate threads on here. One thread might have 100 replies and the next one (same topic) might have two...
"There's too many people on this basketball that's floating around the sun, who are too afraid to allow themselves to FEEL" - Edward Van Halen
"Van Halen was never about the singer..." - A very wise fan.
"Embrace the past. Live in the moment but keep your eyes on the future, and keep on moving forward..." - Richie Sambora

It's sometimes hard to judge things like that, duplicates, videos being pulled, etc.
