It's really a good song, after all, for times like that, and the way Cookie sings it makes it work.

It didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t show up right away, but it was there the next day, I believe (canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t recall which page, though).</blockquote> LO didn't have an ad the week it was released, but the next week (or was it 2 weeks after?) it appeared on the music videos page, in that rotating thing they have there for the hot music videos. Even on DC's site, a message about it only appeared when the video was already top 10. I think the difference is that Crush was released on Itunes, not anywhere else before it, so it got an ad for beeing an Itunes release. LO and ALTNOY were released in other places before... Is there any way to know how much those videos sell? I don't think it's much, but I'm curious.

I had to search for David's name and view everything he's done to access it. Too bad the video isn't more present on the site.

Maybe, that's the consequence of that decision; Itunes found other more accomodating, more popular artists to advertise. You said that it was a Yahoo exclusive, right?

It didn't show up right away, but it was there the next day, I believe (can't recall which page, though). ALTNOY isn't even on the Music Video page on iTunes. It's almost like it's not there at all. Maybe an ad will eventually show up somewhere but, like I said, I'm not holding my breath. I know *why* it doesn't have an ad--doesn't make it less disappointing though. My guess is that they released the video last week on Yahoo to build buzz (which it did, btw--the MV was all over the blogosphere, and still is). But releasing it online meant they pretty much had to release it on iTunes fairly quickly (otherwise most people would just satisfy themselves with free versions they find). I don't believe they really expect to sell a whole lot on iTunes this week at all (obviously). And the song isn't taking off yet, especially due to the holidays (no Hot AC or AC stations reported any adds this week, and ALTNOY is getting played by a few of those). So there's really no point artificially climbing the single due to big ads right now. Not that I would have minded some artificial climbing, but I understand why it doesn't much matter right now and why chart-climbing will matter so much more later when the single is impacting radio. ^^ I think LO eventually got a small ad, though.

I'm not sure what new records, etc., were debuting that week, but I seem to recall assuming that it was just that something more interesting to Apple got the real estate. Sounds like that's what happened here, as well. We had thought that there would be an ad for the LO video, and didn’t see one then.

Like... none... right now. If you didn't know it was there you wouldn't find out by perusing iTunes. Katy Perry ate up all the exclusive video promotion for the week, which is sad because her new video is more disturbing than entertaining. Oh, and Beyonce is releasing 2 videos this week as well. She always eats up ad space. We'll see how it can do without any promotion. I was hoping it would get at least a tiny ad to help with post-Christmas itunes download sales for the video, song and potentially album, but *sigh* guess it wasn't meant to be (at least unless they switch in an ad midweek, but I'm not holding my breath). For reference, the Crush MV got tons of ad space but that was an iTunes exclusive. ALTNOY was a Yahoo exclusive. But a small ad wouldn't have hurt.
