# Statistical stuff
At some point over the last few days, our MySpace page passed 15000 views, while Champagne Socialist clocked up 5000 plays. Not bad for one year’s exposure. (And, as I think is self-evident, we don’t use bots, scripts or hacks to falsify either of those figures.)
In slightly more bizarre news, a look behind the scenes has revealed that our demo of Nothing Can Stop You Being Mine – uploaded in June – has been downloaded approximately 1000 times since the beginning of November. If I’m reading the bar graphs and pie charts correctly, the vast majority have gone the way of the Far East, with the main finger pointing at http://202.108.23.172/index.html. (Something called Baidu MP3, it would seem.)
Quite why that particular demo has been so popular is beyond us – not that we’re complaining, of course. If anyone can shed any light on this statistical anomaly, we’d love to hear from you!

Whoah. HOW did your incomplete, unwaxed/unbuffered demo track get 1000 downloads within the past 45 days? Something seems odd here. Really odd. That’s 1/5th of the Champagne Socialist lifetime PLAYS on myspace… Maybe something has gone amiss.

1000 downloads in 45 days? It’s seems suspicious. Unless there is a “Nothing can stop you being mine-viral” that you haven’t heard about. (It is a great melody.)
