Topic: sound cloud chordie observation

ok so I was looking at the tracks in my sound cloud noticed the number of plays on each track, some way more than others. I was not surprised at my most listened to track what surprised me was when I compared the number of times the track had been played to the number of views on chordae for the same track. most played track was 179 but only 315 views on chordae. most viewed on chordae was 1330 but only 42 plays on sound cloud after looking all of the tracks there was absolutely no correlation between views and how many times the track was played. this is the only place I post links to sound cloud so I just found that to be odd. any way just an observation

hope every one had a happy thanks giving .

Re: sound cloud chordie observation

Well having posted songs on MySpace, sound cloud and our stage in the past linking them on Chordie. I can say there never seems to be a correlation between the number of views on Chordie and the plays or for that matter comments on Chordie.
I think this also true to if you take in the comments and plays on the host site itself.
I know I don't comment on everything I listen to so looking for logic in the numbers is probably looking for something that's not there.
That's my theory.

Re: sound cloud chordie observation

Any ideas why I cannot get a record option on Soundcloud.whether I use the app or the website whenever I click record it directs me to a page to download the app! I tried this for the hell of it but obviously nothing as I already have the App.Soundcloud help doesn't,so Iam in limbo at present.

I think your right there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. i wonder if the entire song has to play on sound cloud or if someone starts to listen and moves on does it count as a play?
