I was surprised at that, because a month isn't long. I checked to see how many Thin Lizzy has and it's an amazing 4.2 million a month. And when you think they split up in 1983,and Phil Lynott has been dead since 1986 their legacy is still going strong. Francis only has 3.3 thousand a month. Based on that I guess a new Quo album would out sell a solo album from Francis by a mile. |

Yeah I noticed Thin Lizzy. Of course, they had some stateside success. Slade have 750,000.
Speaking of Lizzy, I really like Snowy White. One of his youtube videos have over 6m views. He says it will make him comfortable in retirement

To be fair that vid and Roll Over Beethoven were uploaded over 16 years ago. For a long time Quo's greatest hits were not on Youtube or videos that were have been taken down. Down Down vid was uploaded 10 years ago and that had 15M views. While RAOTW has been up for 7 and had 5.7M views. |

Spotify is interesting. I've personally never listened to it but are we to seriously believe that 2½ million people are listening to Quo every month? Or Lizzy over 4 million? Or is it like the radio where music companies are doing their bit? Maybe creating an algorithm to continually choose certain artists. Or am I becoming a cynical old sod?  Nice story about Snowy White though. Always thought he was the best they had after Brian Robertson left. |

I agree, I can't imsgine 4 million are regularly listening to Thin Lizzy each month on Spotify. But then again if its global and not just the UK, its easier to imagine. Snowy White was excellent in Lizzy I thought. He brought a more bluesy sound which suited the band I thought. Gary Moore was also excellent on the Black Rose album. 🎸 |

Quo's popularity has been increasing rapidly lately according to this board. 1,008 members now. I don't know if there has been any breeding or cloning involved.

Didn't want to put a negative spin on this, but I think quite a lot of the members haven't logged in for ages. And if you really look into it, only a hand full of us regularly post anything on here. |

Nice story about Snowy White though. Always thought he was the best they had after Brian Robertson left. Well for a person to be included in that 2.5 million listeners in a month, they have to listen to at least 30 seconds of one Quo song, and that is it. Obviously there will be people who regularly listen to loads of Quo, and there will be some that listen to a generic rock playlist that has RAOTW included, or listen to an 80s playlist which includes In the Army Now. Going by the fact that In the Army Now has been streamed 135 million times on Spotify and the likes of Down Down and Caroline haven't managed 20 million streams. There are probably a lot of people hearing In the Army Now on playlists, who wouldn't necessarily call themselves Quo fans. But I guess that is the same with every band, there are people who obsess over their entire catalogue, and other people who are happy to listen to the odd tune if it happens to come on the radio or be included in a playlist. |

That gives me an insight into how it works, Dark 👍 If these are ready made playlists, it would explain a lot. The compilation remains king, even on Spotify  |

Based on that theory, streaming is far from a true reflection on how popular an artist is individually. I mean there are tonnes of compilations, like the Now series. Quo for example only need to be on one compilation to recieve a kinda false popularity. Just like any other artist. |
