Cheerios4u98 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 18/20, missing Every Time I Look For You and No Future. Surprised about No Future, didn't ever consider that it could have a high play count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good song and deserves the plays, but I'm sure a lot of them come from it being the opening track to the album and people hear it by default when checking out California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 3 hours ago, Ghent said: Yeah since there are so many Neighborhoods songs up there your theory totez checks out Spotify wasn't a thing really when it came out in 2011 so his statement makes sense that things would be different if Spotify had been around for every other album launch including neighborhoods. They only had a million users in 2011 when neighborhoods came out. Spotify didn't get big until 2013 and then even more so in 2014 when they started the student discounts. In 2016, when California came out they had well over 75 million active users. Probably over 100 million by that point since my 75 million number is from 2015. If Spotify had the same user base in 2011, I wouldn't be surprised if up all night was right around top 10 because of the hype around it and wishing well would be on the list too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighborhoods was the latest blink album when Spotify got big. It is barely represented on the top 20 because people don't like it much.

VinDicktive Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 19/20, missed Anthem pt 2 shamefully, I was even trying all the other openers! I think EILFY is well-known from being the opening song in American Pie 2, good tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 No Future would be higher on the list because it was released on it's own before the record was, I imagine Rabbit Hole is quite high too for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom clearly liked it as he was singing songs from it on instagram or whatever. Mark at the time liked it (he'll probably say the next record they do is the best, etc). Travis said the cliché "it's the best record we've done" as he always does. At the time, the band was into it. The label just didn't utilize what they had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The label just didn't utilize what they had. i agree, because it's something they made and finished together despite the challenges and it's a weird portrait of the botched reunion. but i also think that mark's embrace of it at the time may not have been promo talk but rather mark trying to convince himself it really WAS good. he had to convince himself it'd work recording separately too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
