FYI, the official video for "canīt stop the feeling!" which was released 6 Days ago, is at 14.7 million views right now, and has 197k likes.
the SML video already has 208k likes
There are also twice as many comments. I'm expecting a massive jump soon.
This is the song that could sell 25 to new potential buyers. Perhaps people really are tired of ballad Adele, so this song comes out at the right time.
There's really no correlation between the amount of likes and video views: it varies so much between different artist. We just have to wait and see.
i remember so clearly the situation with carpool karaoke, it had a similar like/view ratio almost the full first day until YT finally got the viewcount updated and it got like 13-16 million views the first full day

What is the label doing? Why is this not on Rhythmic radio? They are missing a huge market of radio where it could easily go top 20 maybe even top 10 there if it turns out to be a mega smash
