Well done Dave and the team. It is good to see objective independent results coming through proving the value of all your work, not just us supporters saying so.

Yes, even in my Hayley thread on the Josh Groban forum, I saw a huge increase of views around the release of Paradiso, and there are still a lot every day. And a large percentage of fans there are Americans, who, for the most part, are probably not the biggest rugby fans. I still have yet to hear or see anything about the cup on the news or in the paper. Rugby is not that popular here, so it's Paradiso that's getting Americans' attention, at least, not the RWC.
Of course, it helps that my signature is all about Paradiso. So every time I post on the forum, they see a picture of the album, a blurb that it's a collaboration with Ennio Morricone, a [HWI] link to preview tracks, and links to where they can buy it.
I truly feel responsible for increased awareness of Paradiso on that forum. There are plenty of fans there who do like Hayley or have heard of her, but not all are keeping track of her career enough that they knew about the new album.

Well done Libby,
Good to know you are not missing a chance to promote Hayley.
Perhaps we should all join a few other artists forums just for that purpose....

Hi Libby and everyone, Nice job there Libby, keep up the good work!  Thought it might be interesting to see the HWI website visitor stats by Country, for Friday and Saturday (following Hayley's appearance on Io Canto): 28% Italy 25% United Kingdom 15% United States 4% Canada 3% New Zealand 2% Japan 2% Germany 2% Taiwan 2% Australia 2% Spain For the month before that (up to 15 September) it was: 39% United Kingdom 20% United States 7% New Zealand 4% Italy 3% Australia 3% Japan 3% Germany 3% Canada 2% Hong Kong 2% Taiwan And for the first three months of this year (before Paradiso): 30% United States 27% United Kingdom 4% Japan 4% New Zealand 3% Canada 3% Italy 3% China 3% Australia 3% Germany 2% Netherlands So Io Canto seems to have been quite productive, as does all the UK promotional activity surrounding Paradiso and the World Cup, some other Countries too seem to have picked up because of the RWC. Even the US, which is normally the biggest contributor to site visits, has picked up by about 50% since the start of the year - but some Countries (like the UK) have doubled or trebled. Cheers, Dave |

Hello Dave and everybody!  We've received 16 new 'Likes' on our Facebook page since Hayley's guest appearance on Io Canto. I think at least 15 of them are from Italy! Richard  |

OK the big question now is how to keep it going over in Italy.

...records for the highest number Youtube views of our channel videos (5,179 yesterday...) Hi everyone, We hit another record Youtube 'high' for the channel on Saturday the 17th, 5,371 views. Just thought I'd mention it.  It will be interesting to see what happens when (we think) Hayley visits the States in 2 to 3 weeks' time, the Rugby thing will still be ongoing, Paradiso and World In Union might still be in the UK charts, and any kind of a boost in the US always does wonders for our (and other Hayley videos/sites) statistics, which could in turn help her sales. Cheers, Dave |

I've moved a few posts from here to the Paradiso (US) thread where they are more on topic (although they drifted off topic from the US too, but I've left them all together for now). Dave |

Hi everyone, Just a word to mention that I've uprated the Search facilities on the HWI website. You can now quickly search all of the old and new HWI websites (including the archives) in one go, from any page. It uses the Google custom search method and is fast - click in the search box at the top left, or go straight to the bottom of any page, where the search and results box is located. www.hayley-westenra-international.com/We are also working on one or two other new and (hopefully!) helpful things too, so watch this space. Please report any problems with it here, thanks! Cheers, Dave |

Hi everyone. I have just noticed some interesting differences in viewing trends over the last year, when comparing our UK and US Youtube video views (these two as they are the highest Countries in views). I will just post the graphs, and add that NZ and Australia are similar to the shape of the UK graph, while Canada is similar to the shape of the US graph. Other European Countries are a mixed bunch, while Far Eastern Countries seem to do their own thing! I'm surprised by the differences in trends, especially in November-December each year.  Of course, the Rugby World Cup final stands out in both cases. Cheers, Dave |

Hello Dave  That is a very interesting set of graphs! Perhaps another reason for the increase in visitors this time of year is that viewers may tend to associate Hayley with Christmas. I first learnt of Hayley in late November of '03 partly due to her first Christmas CD. A good many of those past years saw Hayley on some lovely UK tours in the fortnight before Christmas. Cheers, Joe |

The increase in You Tube videos could also be a result of increased google searches. A NZ woman's mag says that Hayley is the 6th most searched woman in NZ for the year.

That is encouraging BUT, who on earth are the other five? More encouragingly, I have just done a google search resulting in 3,120,000 results. Peter S. |

Yes, I must do an analysis like that myeslf sometime. The graphs are great though. Here is my (rather spectacular) overall one  The vertical scale runs from 0 to 1600 hitd/day. Getting 10 times the hits I was six months ago! I notice your rising trend too Dave on the HWI channel. This has got to be good news for Hayley. Martin D |
