Yeah, of course, some people like the track and some people don't...

but

Mick has 2.5 million followers on instagram and 2.4 million on twitter

"strange game" has also been publicized through 74 news outlets
and hundreds of blogs, youtube channels, etc

yet after 4 days it is claimed by youtube that the original audio vid
and the subsequent lyrics vid have a total of only 92,000 views/listens

statistically this is absolutely impossible. for some reason the numbers '
are being suppressed

i have no idea why that might be, but it is a certainty that the youtube
count is fake news.

if i come up with a theory, i'll let you know. meantime,
let the lame jokes commence

1) I got onto it a couple hours after it had been released in eastern
Australia. It had been out over 5 hours in New Zealand. Youtube said
at that time it had 5 views

2) "colonial" on iorr dot org got onto it when it had been out over
14 hours, reaching all of europe and some of the americas.
"colonial" wondered why it only had 500 views at that time

3) and i'm sure you know that these absurdly low numbers guaranteed
that the track would not be fed to anybody via the youtube algorithm

4) so yeah, it sounds weird, it sounds conspiratorial, but the
brilliant Egon has a perfectly logical explanation. C'mon Egon,
i appreciate you sharing your great insight with me privately but,
don't be shy, tell everybody and receive your plaudits...

As it so happens, there is an ongoing mini-war between google/youtube
and apple/appleTV, with each disabling to some extent the ability of their
users to access the other's content via some of their apps...

here's a recent headline from gizmodo: "Apple Disables Purchases on
Android and Google TV Platforms"

So i would say it is likely that Mick's vid, which blatantly advertises not just
the show but appleTV itself, is having its numbers grossly manipulated
downwards by google/youtube as part of their squabble with apple...

nothing to do with Mick

google/youtube/tessio: "Tell Mike it was nothing personal, it was
strictly business. We always liked him"

I think we can regard my earlier speculation that Mick was simply a
paid spokesperson for the show as confirmed

Its brilliant really. Get hired for big bucks to give publicity to
appleTV by making it seem like you released a single.

Don't believe me? Go to mickjagger dot com and "strange game"
is not even mentioned. The front page is still "easy sleazy"

Proceeds to Mick from this "single": near zero

Proceeds from all these interviews hyping the show's theme song:
I would guess at least a half million from apple PLUS Mick gets to
sell the tour at the same time

And i think its safe to say that most of these euro radio stations
are also getting payments from apple, and here's some strong
circumstantial evidence of that:

when that Swedish station ran their original 24-minute interview,
it was nearly all about the Stones touring, and headlined as such, with
the appleTV show mentioned for only a few minutes at the end...

but by the next day, the radio station had only a 5-minute excerpt posted,
which was nearly all about the TV show, and headlined that way

So there you have it, Mick Jagger being paid to compose a song and be
a spokesperson for a streaming service and their crap TV show, all this
accomplished in stealth mode, to make it seem like a sincere release
by the artist...

As i said, brilliant

It's a god song but I can't really relate to it. Don't watch the show; I haven't bothered with TV in years. My TV set is for DVDs and Blu-rays. I liked Got to Get a Grip better. I keep it on my phone.
