Have you bought your tickets for Danny’s headliner tour, The Hope Encounter?
Admin2 points to why I would’ve preferred “Never Be the Same” over “If You Ain’t in It” — both songs are upbeat, retro, danceable tunes, but NBTS has more CCM lyrical content than IYAII. But you can’t argue with success. For whatever reason, Danny & Co. made the video for IYAII, and it has generated a lot of views. Perhaps if they had done a video for NBTS, it would have gotten similar attention. Who knows? But IYAII has made some headway organically, so let’s see where it goes. It is one heck of a fun video and catchy tune!
Looking it up, I guess it’s the You references. This is more CCM content than The Comeback, for me anyway. Masterpiece may have had more references but I just didn’t like it lol.
I hadn’t watched that video for a while, it is fun although the camera freezes/transitions make my eyes cross.
It’s nice that the video gaining 2M views is one from Danny’s team featuring himself and the band vs. sometimes when it’s a fan video that takes off for whatever reason.
Even though after a while it did make me laugh with all the band antics knowing that they are mostly performing to a track :O
Its a catchy song and the bands antics while playing make it a fun video.
I’ve been keeping an eye on mediabase. I hope it naturally picks up some spins – because of the popularity of the song/video.
Nice photos of the BMI Christian Awards:

I know this is Danny’s site, but I would like to share a video. Not sure of how to upload a video here. Carpool Karaoke with James Corden with Adele was great, but Paul McCartney is by far the best ever!! If there is a possibility of uploading it here, I think everyone would enjoy it. Paul and Ringo were my favorite, so it was so much fun to watch this video. 🙂 Memories… Paul McCartney was to gracious.
..please excuse mistakes above. I was watching the Paul McCartney video and writing at the same time.
Hey Cindy, I think anyone can paste in a facebook video (or youtube video) here.
I right clicked on the video as it played, clicked on show Video URL and then copied it

I watched it yesterday, too. James does such a great job on his carpool segments. He gets to sing with such amazing singers. I did get to see Paul perform in Milwaukee at Miller Stadium a few years ago. He has incredible energy. Still sounds good, too.
Thank you, Jan. That’s great you were able to see Paul McCartney perform. He looks and sounds very good. I still remember sitting in front of the TV watching Ed Sullivan when the Beatles came on for the first time. I was pretty young. My mom was shocked at their hair. So funny to think of that now.
… the ‘Let it Be’ part brought tears to my eyes, too. Very sweet.
Thank you, Cindy3 and Jan. I like Carpool Karaoke with James Cordon, but this one with Paul McCartney is epic!
New video of “If You Ain’t In It” by Danny and Air-1

I think Danny is keeping an eye on us to see when he should post the BMI photo, video, etc.
The awards were Tuesday. I posted about it Friday. We got a lot of response to our post on the BMI award. As soon as I posted it to to Instagram (and tagged Danny and Leyicet) he posted the same cropped photo. Coincidence? Not likely. You are welcome for our market testing, Danny. 😎
And out of the whole IYAII video… He took the same screenshot for instagram?!?

Christian Airplay: #44(new) If You Ain’t In It, @dannygokey”
Is this accurate?
Hi Lurker, I found that debut on the chart, but I was waiting to find out how many spins make up #44…. The details come out Wednesday afternoon. Still good to see another song making it onto Billboard chart. 👋
IYAII is finally showing on itunes singles: #198.
Its got a long way to go to get to number one… but hey its a start!
Danny was working with some songwriters today, again. I like to see this. Btw, notice how comfortable Danny is with selfies?

Oh, Danny is a pro with selfies! On one of Danny’s cruises, one of his fans wanted a pic with him but no one was around to take a picture with her camera, so Danny did a selfie with her phone instead. This was before selfies became quite as ubiquitous as they are today.
New post on the Billboard chart and Iyaii:
