Yourfavoritemartian (or YFM) is a music-based YouTube channel created by Ray William Johnson in March of 2006. By 2012, the channel had amassed over 2.2 million subscribers. The channel was, at one point, the most subscribed music channel on YouTube.
On May 9th, 2012, Your Favorite Martian began doing cover songs, explaining that all original content was going towards the album they had just announced. However, on November 30th, 2012, the band announced that the "project had been retired." This was a direct result of a dispute between Maker Studios and Ray William Johnson, the co-creator of the band. Maker Studios, who had funded the production of YFM, and, specifically, the announced album, demanded a higher revenue share of Johnson's AdSense revenue and more control over the joint intellectual property of the two parties and, when Johnson declined, the network cut funding for the album. The group released a final mashup video of their previous songs on the channel. At the end, Johnson explained that they were going to go and work on the said album for a few months. Johnson can be quoted in the video as saying that they had been working on the album "for eight months", leading to speculation as to whether remnants of work from that time period still exist or if those efforts were ultimately destroyed by Johnson.
While eager fans have speculated that the album could see a release at a later time, no material has surfaced since the "project was retired", displaying slim chances of this happening.
