Jasmin and James called their newest dance short "THIS WASN’T EASY TO FILM 👆😳", and the comments have their own ideas about which parts were tricky. Viewers keep coming back to a smooth hat spin, a purse that someone takes for a hat, and James in a wig.

Fourteen hours after it went up, the short had passed three million views. A new upload on this channel usually ends its whole first day somewhere near 120,000.

The most popular question underneath is about "the og". Many viewers ask whether everyone saw the original first, and some compare the two. The title does not say which earlier dance they mean. One viewer says that playing the behind-the-scenes part at double speed shows the original moves and the song.

The couple kept busy around it. A beach-themed behind-the-scenes short went up the same day, and so did "Never taking my glasses off again 🐍💀", a follow-up to the glasses joke they ran twice the day before. That one also started about five times faster than usual. The dance short also appears twice, the habit we wrote about last time, and the second copy has drawn only a small share of the views.

The channel gained close to a hundred thousand subscribers in a single day, about eleven times its usual pace. That puts it at 42.5 million. Among the couples and family channels nearest its size, Jasmin and James have the most subscribers, while Cadel and Mia are having a busy stretch with more than twice their usual daily views. The about page states the couple's goal plainly: the road to 100 million.
