I was looking for some reason or another at The Black Keys MySpace page yesterday and I was surprised to see ‘Psychotic Girl’ has had 1,478,056 plays and counting.
That’s quite astounding since the song was released with the Attack and Release album in early 2008.
I’m surprised this track has so captivated the fan base. It’s been played nearly 400,000 times more than ‘Strange Times’.
It would be interesting to know (if there was a way of knowing) across MySpace and commercial radio which Black Keys song had been played most over the life of the band.
Anyone have any ideas how to access such a stat? I guess if I had access to Nielsen SoundScan I’d have a better idea.
Not really what I’m looking for but vaguely related:
“The Black Keys have sold 671,000 records, between five LPs and one EP. The Keys’ recent live DVD has sold another 14,000 copies. Last year’s Danger Mouse-produced Attack and Release continues moving briskly, and is on track to break 174,000 by next week, according to figures Nielsen SoundScan provided Wednesday, May 27 2009.” Source: Rolling Stone

Thats because Psychotic Girl is a badass song
