yes ferrisc and better figures for views on melody's tweet for her show. 1k after 2 hours and yes i know we need downloads but what comes first?

a veritable youngster eh lordfont.what i would call the" youf' market. personally i actually think we will get a huge boost when we have machine gun kelly anounced. you will note he was mentioned in the preliminary anouncement but we still await details, so could be next one up.

49,192 now.just saying.

agreed!

NB140.very clever if i may say so.spot on imo.

48,370 fb followers now.up from 47000 (approx ) at 16 30 yesterday.so rate of increase it steady,but i agree robidicus ,the level of hits on melody tweets has fallen. as you suggest may well get a higher level of manifested interest from smaller but more fervent fan base (a la frank carter etc) very pleased to see the pretty uniformly positive reviews of john legend.not too bothered about the small technical issuesmentioned by some . agree they need to be ironed out but I'm sure they will be.

47,000 fb followers now.

agreed that a slick performance is essential, but doubt they would risk putting it out unless pretty confident.we shall see.personally i don't worry too much about trying to read the trades.so much goes on that is to be honest pretty impenetrable and can, imo,only be properly understood by market professionals with full access to dealing systems etc. for example the first two 1m sells yesterday were protected portfolio transactions,large transactions put through to be worked through the market until completed and then only anounced to the viewing public as it were on completion. they will consist of more than one individual trade, so they could well have been buys. the stock market is informed them at the outset, but only formally reported when completed.truth is we will never know exactly what they were and even though we can make semi educated guesses, they are just that, guesses. also people sell for all sorts of reasons, which again we can only speculate about. fact is the s/p went up came back down a bit but stayed up 10%.those are the only facts we have.so to my mind that means the market generally viewed it as a positive day with positive news.thats my simple view but as people will tell you I'm no expert.fingers crossed for tonight.gla

46593 followers on f/b now.looks like your prediction for 18th will be pretty accurate.

thank you for that ORLM. i have to accept I'm not the target audience.(went to two meat loaf concerts with my grown up son a few years ago as he is a fan but prior to that last concert steeleyespan in about 1973) so not really into rap.but on a serious investor note the important word in your post to my mind is "committed".it seems be what makes the difference,.never heard of frank carter and rattlesnakes but that was ,i think, the act that started to get traction.numbers seemed to go up (and with the fall out boys and panic) which i think reflected the committed fan base. just an old man's observations and probably very wide of the mark, but i think you can see the direction of travel and the vehicles to the us there.

my serious point is that i expect most on there would agree that at the end of the day its all about numbers ultimately.numbers i imagine open up several forms of marketing and revenue generation not otherwise available ,so will be very interesting to see how we develop in that regard.

sorry to harp on the same theme,and i accept it may be of no real relevance, but machine gun kelly (or MGK as he is known familiarly to us afficionados of his oeuvre) has over 284m views (yes 284 million) for his video devil rap from sept 2018 (i know you will all be familiar with that one). now even the sceptics would have to agree thats a lot of views!

machine gun kellys utube video within these walls (april this year) has over 15.5m views. no i'd never heard of him but that sounds a lot imo.

yes A1EX. i think next week will be interesting!

not reading too much into it but after 1h (approx) 713 views on melody tweet re legend.i think that is a pretty good start .

the first 2 are single protected transactions.the final reporting of a series of aggregated order put through over a period but only formally announced at the conclusion to avoid market distortion. probably buys.

agreed maxdba.personally very happy about timing.

well all thats true as well.just personally i would have expected a larger fall on the basis of the indicative sells.we shall see.

god they'll be queuing round the block for this one!

looking at todays trades one might have expected perhaps an even larger s/p fall than happened. a poster on ADVFN has stated that in yesterdays closing auction a bid was placed for 500,000 shares at 35p.i wasnt looking so cannot verify but if so it might (i emphasise might) explain the apparent discrepancy between the trades and the s/p. if such an order was being filled and it does look as though it may have been, then that would help explain the apparent disconnect between the sales and the s/p, if correct it would suggest a stronger performance tomorrow. all speculation of course and could be completely wrong. there was no similar bid placed in todays closing auction .
