Now that Scotty McCreery and Pia Toscano's videos have both been released I thought I would compare total views, of Lauren Alaina and Scotty on CMT.com, and for all three of them on Vevo.com and YouTube.com. We do have to remember that Lauren did have a one day lead on the other two, but actually on Vevo, her video is already behind Scotty's in total views at 112K versus 165K for Scotty. Pia trails the other two with only 30K views as of right now (almost noon central time.) On CMT.com Scotty is listed as the #1 video of the day, but if you check the total views, Lauren leads him there with 76K views compared to his 48K. Since she did have an extra 24 hours over Scotty that puts the two of them fairly even on the CMT site. I do find it interesting that even though both Scotty and Lauren now have substantially more VEVO views than CMT views, even their CMT view counts are significantly higher than Pia's VEVO view count. If you check the numbers on YouTube, the numbers seem more current as they are slightly higher than the VEVO numbers:
Scotty 221K, Lauren 134K, Pia 44K
I always find it interesting if you do a YouTube search, for example, for "scottymccreeryvevo" you will see the video listed with 221,830 views, but if you then go to the video the view count drops down to 207,589:
Due to Idol Chatter's Brian Mansfield not being in his office this week, the sales numbers for the Top 4 EP's may not be available today. However, the numbers for Scotty and Lauren should be out on the RoughStock.com later today. The site HitsDailyDouble has already predicted another good week for Scotty with his sales actually going up again to be almost 17K for the week. That puts him at about 120K total which is a pretty impressive number for a compilation EP of cover songs.
