In the month of February,
Gorilla Zoe released a mixtape every day - plus two on one day, for a grand total of 29 mixtapes in 28 days.
DatPiff played host to this marathon and, according to the numbers provided on their website, the 29 mixtapes totaled
318,901 listens and 173,156 downloads.
According to DatPiff, a listen is counted when a user opens a mixtape player and, regardless of whether he listens to one track or all of them, it counts as one listen. They also log the IP address, so if that same user was to come back the next day, using that same IP address, they would still count as just one listen.
The most popular mixtapes were generally the ones released earliest. They capitalized off the initial buzz and have also been up the longest, providing them with the longest opportunity to have been seen by DatPiff visitors.

In the video below, Gorilla Zoe and Block discuss the
28 (really 29) mixtapes in 28 days campaign as well as how artists need to promote themselves these days, among other things.
Now that
Gorilla Zoe's 29 mixtapes in 28 days have come to an end,
Jeevan Brown of Ozone has an interview with Zoe focused on the string of mixtapes. I found this answer interesting:
After you’re done with theses mixtapes, when can we expect an album?
That’s a label thing right now. Basically, my situation is in the middle of negotiating as far as that one album a year. I’m signed to Block Ent. and Bad Boy for life. Bad Boy isn’t with Atlantic anymore, but Atlantic decided to keep me. So, Block and Atlantic are going through negotiations right now.
