TeamAudra Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Gone For Good is at #43 on country iTunes and #120 all genre. It will be interesting to see how high it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTV Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think Will left a good impression in his audition segment. "Unflappable," as TeamAudra said in the episode thread. Besides being talented, he's down-to-earth and likable, which goes a long way on this show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTV Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Will is among Mark Franklin's three best auditions of the night. excerpt from his recap: Will Moseley, 23, Hazlehurst, Ga., "Gone for Good" (an original): Will played football for most of his life, but turned to music when his college football career came to an end. He performs a great original. And Will's got a great voice, deep with a nice touch of rasp. Knowing how well country artists do on the show, he could go very far. Lionel has to run out to catch a plane in the middle of the audition, but calls his voice "amazing." The other coaches agree. And he advances unanimously. https://idolchatteryd.com/will-moseley-scarlett-lee-dazzle-american-idol-judges The population of Hazlehurst in 2020 was only 4,088, but I'm sure they'll support Will on American Idol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazlehurst,_Georgia Edited March 4 by RTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamza Tufail Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 He's one of those guys that I'd gladly listen to all day. For quite some time, I've been listening to Gone For Good and Coming Down on repeat. Never get tired of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamza Tufail Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Now that I think about, what the coaches did may actually benefit him. No one on social media seems to care about it. People are mentioning it in a good way that he was so good that the judges were hooked right from the first note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 (edited) iTunes update. Gone For Good #26 country, #69 all-genre EDIT: #25/#65 14/36 12/33 - Still climbing! 11/32 10/31 - He’s starting to promote it now. 9/30 8/29 7/26 Edited March 5 by TeamAudra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 (edited) iTunes update: Gone For Good is up to #4 on the country chart, and #17 on the all genre. The three above him on the country chart are a Luke Combs song, and two versions of Beyoncé’s fake country song. I’m not sure whether he’ll be able to pass Beyoncé at this time, but we’ll see. He started promoting it on social media last night, and it seems to be paying off. His other three songs are slowing creeping up the chart as well. If he sings “Coming Down” on the show, I would expect that to do really well too. UPDATE: #3 country, #9 all genre. On the country chart, it’s just the two versions of Beyoncé’s songs above him. Update: #2 country, #4 all genre. He passed one of Beyoncé’s. Edited March 5 by TeamAudra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 (edited) Something I just noticed, his song has been used in 89 different TikTok videos, most of them in the past day. This is how songs can go viral on there. He’s gained almost 40K TikTok followers since Sunday night, and I expect that will continue to grow at a good rate. He has a huge opportunity there if he plays his cards right. Edit: Actually, that’s just one clip. Another clip of the song has been used 115 times.

Hamza Tufail Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 His YT views are increasing as well. Before his audition, Gone For Good was at 62k. Right now, it's at 92k. It's gonna surpass 100k soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna surpass 100k soon. I’ll be keeping an eye on Spotify too. There’s only one day of update since his audition, and it jumped pretty good. He should be able to get those monthly listeners at least to 100K in the next several weeks, as he builds momentum. Hopefully, even higher, but I’m being conservative. “Coming Down” is a really good song too. On Spotify, it shows the songwriters. He had co-writers for “Somewhere In The Middle,” but he wrote “Coming Down,” “Gone For Good”, and “Fishing For A Living” by himself. He’s clearly a talented writer, because those are all very well written. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the lyrics and it just goes to show how talented he is, that he wrote both of them all by himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 (edited) Spotify update: This is two days of numbers, but he didn’t start promoting it on social media until later Monday night, so the vast majority of this is from Tuesday. The numbers in parentheses are gains since Sunday night. Monthly listeners: 23,529 (+17,029) ”Gone For Good” 134,332 (+38,639) ”Coming Home” 115,029 (+16,240) ”Somewhere In The Middle” 21,498 (+10,990) ”Fishing For A Living” 38,684 (+9158) Solid start. I’ve listened to all of them a ton, but I use Apple Music. He’s still hanging on at #4 all genre, #2 country on iTunes.

TeamAudra Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Will stopped by his local elementary school and sang the ABCs with what looks like a classroom full of kindergartners. https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0m1n2BZJkuNWsHT3eaRoqx1JkaWduGS84gmSnAv9wEcfL9VikZQawqBH6scnBq6rNl&id=100064144325226 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine almost every TV in that town was tuned in on Sunday night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTV Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It's always nice to see the local community rally around a contestant. Will visited Woody Folsom Automotive. The business posted: BIG "Big Mo" fans. Super proud of this Southeast Georgia Boy for making it to Hollywood. We are behind you every step of the way! Y'all be sure to keep up with his journey so hopefully you can vote for him soon. Also... download/stream his song on iTunes. He is sitting at Number 2 under Beyoncé... let's get him to #1, y'all!!! https://www.facebook.com/WoodyFolsomAutomotive/posts/pfbid0BA51yPRBtcxNPyP362uYpaRdDQjN9KYF7hgHkgGPyx3W6fkgFVTKm7ycboSxTbVCl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
