Bon Jovi's most popular songs..according to youtube
Only mildly interesting I guess, but a few surprises. Especially that IML is by far the most viewed song online by the band at a whopping 114million+ views! I don't know if it's just an internet younger generation thing, or if indeed IML could be considered 'bigger' than Prayer, which I doubt, but interesting nonetheless.
No fancy graphy thing, but here's some figures; All are approx, as there are obviously duplicates of the videos, but those view counts only number in the thousands and so don't change the picture that much as a whole.
1. Its my life 114million views
2. Always 61m
3. Prayer 59.5m
4. Bad Name 37m
5. Ill be there for you 29m
6. Bed of roses 26m
7.Dead or alive 24m
8. Thank you for loving me 20m
9. HAND 19m
10. Runaway 17m
and surprisingly/worryingly
Hallelujah at 12m views?!
The likes of KTF and all the These Days singles (bar TAALS) are predictably disappointingly low in the list - there are even covers by people in their bedrooms ranking higher than many of the bands 'hit singles'.
And 'Who Says you cant go home' is around the 5million mark, hardly the worldwide smash Jon seems to think it is.
HAND and Born to follow also got decent viewing counts, beating a lot of the older stuff like ITA, Bad Mx etc... so I guess stats like this could be useful in that other thread as a defence in ''the nostalgia argument''.

JBJ - I believe
"Sambora's face is a mask of joyous disbelief, as if previously unaware of his ability to play the instrument at all. Reaching the last fistful of notes, he does a fair impression of a man who is actually ejaculating into his jet black flares."
