Jim Fusco Reaches 400 YouTube Subscribers!

Gotta love a milestone day.  I just predicted it would happen yesterday, as I had 397 subscribers.  Even as I write this now, I’m already up to 404!  Talk about progress- that’s 404 people that took the time to watch one of my videos and decided they needed to be updated every time I post one!  It’s so exciting to think about that, because I’m sure I don’t know anywhere close to 404 people…let alone 404 that ever gave our music the time of day here in CT.  So, I’m very proud of our worldwide success.

I’m looking forward to more milestones in the near future, as these things seem to happen exponentially.  So, we’ll look forward to the next great milestone very soon!

More people than ever before visit Laptop Sessions — daily view record is broken after more than a month!

By Chris Moore:

I am thrilled to report that today, only two days after my birthday, I was graced with another surprise present…

…more people visited the blog today than ever before!  Our daily view record, which has been the same since mid-August, was broken today.  Jim and I were out at a party, and when we checked our iPhones, we were ecstatic.  I only hope that we continue to have many more record-breaking days.

Tell your friends!  Tell your families!  Tell your lovers, neighbors, third cousins twice removed, or even that stranger you see every morning at your local coffee shop…  Laptop Sessions is the best acoustic cover music blog in the universe and we’re committed to bringing you a session-a-day EVERY DAY of 2008.

And, as a brief side note, we’re already making plans for next year’s recording schedule.  As it stands now, even after session-a-day is over, there may be as many as five videos a week or more.  So, stay tuned for more great acoustic stuff from the Fusco-Moore blog, home of the Laptop Sessions!

Chris Moore reaches 50,000 video views landmark on YouTube!

By Chris Moore:

Well, after weeks of lessening views, I have finally achieved half of a hundred grand views on YouTube.  By “a hundred grand” I of course mean 100,000 (as opposed to 100 grand views; although I’d love for all of my views to be grand…).

And, based on that confusing introduction to this post, you may be starting to see why less people view my videos than Jim’s!!  Seriously, though, I’m very excited to hit the 50,000 view mark on YouTube, as I’ve had my hopes set on 100,000 for a long time.  I think I would start to feel accomplished on YouTube if I were to reach 100 grand.

Then, once I reached that, I would look around and realize how insignificant even that number is.  But, by that time, I’ll be aiming for a million views!

So, as session-a-day rolls onward — ever closer to the new year — I’m more excited than ever to make and break some new records for the Laptop Sessions music video blog…

…and you’ll see another reason if you’ll just read my next post!

Jim Fusco Reaches 110,000 YouTube music video views!

Definitely not meant to show up Chris Moore’s acoustic cover song tonight, but I just found out that I reached 110,000 YouTube video views.  I’m very excited about it and hope that this number continues to rise somewhat exponentially.  It’s only been about 20 days or so since my milestone of 100,000 acoustic cover song and original music video views on YouTube, so it’s exciting to get another 10,000 so quickly.

I’ve said it before that I won’t feel like the “big time” until I get to 1,000,000 views.  It’s going to take a while.  But, whereas it took me nine months to get 100,000, I don’t think it’s going to take 81 more months to get to a million.  I sincerely believe that I’ll be staring a half million in the face sometime next year.

Thanks to all who watch these videos and, to echo Jeff’s sentiment, come back on a daily basis to keep viewing more.  I’ll keep you posted on new milestones as they arrive!
