Let's try it this way
One good hen
Two ducks
Three cackling geese
Four plump partridges
Five pairs of Don Alphonso tweezers
Six limerick oysters
Seven hundred Macedonian horsemen in full battle array
Eight sympathetic, apathetic, didactic old men on crutches
Nine brass monkeys from the sacred sepulchers of ancient Egypt
Ten lyrical, spherical heliotropes from an eleemosynary institute

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
`Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since she went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest, number one is the loneliest
Number one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest, one is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since she went away
(Number) One is the loneliest

No, but some have reached far beyond one million in views, such as Learn Writing with Uncle Jim in the Novels forum.

In a way, thread views are nice to take into account, as they comprise of the readership we've drawn into our topics. And readers are so much of what we aspire for anyway, when you think about it.
