200 million digital downloads?

On Songland, where aspiring songwriters pitch to pop music stars, the winning songs are released each week—often topping the charts.

According to Heavy.com, the first season’s songs—ten winners—picked by the guest artists for release “collectively scored over 200 million digital downloads” during the season with many hitting No. 1 on an iTunes chart.(Reiher, Andrea (April 14, 2020).

Could the author of the piece be mixing up or mistaking the terminology? Like streaming downloads? Any help appreciated. Gleeanon409 (talk) 09:14, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Any help identifying animated CGI shorts

I would like anyone to help me identify what I remember was a series of animated CGI shorts that aired on Playhouse Disney or some other branch of the Disney channel sometime in the mid-2000's. The format was the same for each episode: The shorts feature two characters, one humanoid and one animal (I think it was supposed to be dog-like, but I do not remember clearly), and every beginning has them waking up in their house, climb aboard a personal spacecraft, and travel to some random world, usually dream-like or abstract in some way. They anchor their ship and wander about exploring and interacting whatever world they visit. I think each episode had them take photographs of something they encounter. At each episode's end, both climb back to their ship, and the humanoid character activates a sort of release that causes the ship to reverse back the way it travelled to their house. They prepare for bed, but hang up a picture memento of their travel before they go to sleep.

I remember the cartoon as a whole being quite surreal, so it may have been something I've dreamt as a child and not have existed at all. If this synopsis rings any bells for anyone, I would greatly appreciate it, so that my sudden nostalgia trip can be laid to rest. --72.234.12.37 (talk) 16:36, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Maybe Felix and the Flying Machine? [1]? --Jayron32 16:50, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

It is not that. I guess I forgot to mention, that both characters were coloured a pale white and were relatively featureless except for eyes, which conveys all of their emotion. There was no verbal communication involved, but I think the humanoid was able to write. Thank you for trying though. --72.234.12.37 (talk) 03:06, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
