For all those asking about the 320M YT views # for SMD reported by LP. While I do not know the exact formula used by LP, it is evident that they use more than just episode views to report TOTAL YT views. This is the case not just for SMD but also for other shows whose total YT views were reported by LP in the last month (namely, Iqtidar, Bismil, TCM).

To verify whether LP is lying about SMD numbers (as some IF members are inclined to think), I tried four different methods to calculate YT views for SMD:

METHOD 1 counts views for: Episodes + Teasers, Promos, Recaps after SMD started to air + Teasers, Promos before SMD went on air + OST + Short clips, Best Scenes, Best Moments + Shorts

METHOD 2 counts views for: Episodes + Teasers, Promos, Recaps after SMD started to air + Teasers, Promos before SMD went on air + OST + Short clips, Best Scenes, Best Moments + Teasers for E2-E17 uploaded to GEO Entertainment.

METHOD 3 counts views for: Episodes + Teasers, Promos, Recaps after SMD started to air + Teasers, Promos before SMD went on air + OST + Short clips, Best Scenes, Best Moments + Shorts + Teasers for E2-E17 uploaded to GEO Entertainment.

As you can see Methods 1-3 all aggregate to around 320M.

Even if you prefer a more parsimonious approach (METHOD 4), and limit yourself to just views on episodes, teasers, promos, recaps and ost (and exclude shorts and clips), the TOTAL YT views come to 316M (which isn't too far off from 320M).

Hope this lays to rest concerns about LP inflating SMD views. People are welcome to try this approach to validate #s for Bismil and other shows that LP has also reported on. As I said in my earlier post, the difference between episode views of Iqtidar and Bismil vs their views reported by LP is in the range of > 70M-80M.

* p.s. only counted views of shorts and clips that appear in the playlists compiled by geo.

Lately every portal is using a similar formula to calculate views. Hum even added views on reels on instagram for Jafa. Green mentioned views from different platforms for Duniyapur. Geo also does it with their shows lately be it JN, Fitoor or their daily soaps. KMKT hasn’t entered one billion club yet if we consider episodes only but the channel did post about it & FM also shared on his profile. Apparently every view matters so it’s fine.

Views to maine bhi de diye is poor storyline ko, koi lauta do mera precious time spent in anticipation 😢

The moment I realised all the lead couple shot in promo are dream sequence i gave up

Yes to be fair these things should be considered in the total views

Yes. Just mention that you are including promos & best clips as well.

Agree . I think they don't explicitly say that it's from episodes so in their head they are saying promos clips

The only issue is it becomes a situation in comparison,i don't know the biggies earlier included the promos or not KAM,MH,KTK,TB and IM

TB getting 4B views includes promos, best clips & OSTs as well. Same for KTK & KAM. MH doesn’t get talked about much. Hum posted overall views for IM when it entered one billion club. They aren’t bothered about the views anymore even though it crossed 2B many months back. Geo keeps reminding people after its shows hit some milestone & the views are overall views only not just episodes.

Nothing wrong with calling out Lp entertainment. They mention episode views clearly on the posters which is very easy to debunk. The other channels clearly mention episodes + ost + promos. The ones who don't always gets called out like Jaffa .

Ik tu shorts shouldn't be included in total count because the revenue in shorts is peanuts compared to the longer format.

If we look at that Jafaa Hum TV poster now, then Jafaa now actually has done more than 500 million views on YT (including teasers & scenes); in fact, it now has 650M+ views 😀

Wednesday and Thursday ratings

This is the reason why no channel has posted Friday sat & sunday ratings. Ab bas PDP ka hi sahara hai 😭
