Aln was pretty boring imo. And deserved to get no radio play. GT imo was far stronger and superior. And justified getting that top 20 US pop radio hit. Sorry I like ALN. But it's on the levels of BTIKM. Just an average demo. ToH should of been the 2nd single. Not that it matters now. I love GT, think it's one of Adams best tracks ever :D. So maybe I'm a bit biast.

I am picturing either WWFM or GT for Ferdinand. The GT whistle is very moody. I can see it working for poor Ferdinand. I am thinking 'These Boys' - who you calling clown

sorry to say but to me this just shows how unpopular ALN turned out to be...hope WBR will do better with A4... RE the movie track: wouldn't it be great if they'd use something rather than a single? Like TOH or The Light or WTTS... Just popping in here to praise Another Lonely Night....I love that track....much prefer it to Ghost Town personally...and do not really think it deserves the nasty it gets here. I did not care for Sleepwalker so ditto on not understanding the love it gets....it is OK but just that, for me. So all frustrations aside, were I the 'suits' making the decisions on TOH, I would have chosen ALN as well. Everyone has their choices and it is all good...but because one track gets more comments here does not make for any sort of consensus....but hey, I love TISI too so whatever. For me...the big fyi hit should have been Fever....and a live version of Soaked/or remix. From Trespassing....#1 for sure, Shady....then any number of others...that was a fabulous record. JMHO Exactly!!! ANL was not one of my favorites but I liked it also. Radio will play who they want to play good or not. Unfortunately Adam is not one who gets everything he puts out played. Hopefully one day it will happen for him. I think he deserves it. I also loved TISI & GT.

I love GT too. Amazing, different sound and so earwormy. The rather eerie and spooky sound was so catchy - I think that's why radio and people responded to it so positively. I think it's one of his best tracks ever too. I also love WWFM and think it fully deserved its Grammy nom. I wish it had won -I think it should have.

Maybe unpopular opinion. But I never liked TISI. IT is too repetitive in the chorus for me. I don't know I liked Underneath from Trespassing far better. Actually I prefer Trespassing over TOH. Both great albums though. And I am sure A4 well be his best work yet.

Anybody else having trouble with Adamtopia?......it seems a little bonkers today! Yes, I've been having trouble for hours but just got back on. It wouldn't let me comment. But works now. My comments: I love ALN! It's one of my favorites on TOH. Great melody, lyrics, hook and story. I think if another major singer had released it, it would have gotten big play and been a hit. JMO. I think TOH should have been a single, too. Adam's albums are full of radio-worthy music. Every but as good as other top hits. WWFM would make sense in the plot of Ferdinand. But I hope the song they choose is something else. Whatever it is, it will be great! Love Brian May's comment on Time For Miracles. He recognized Adam's genius so early on. I think that song was a big hit in Japan or China, right?

Oh yeah Trespassing is my fav pop album of this decade. Still annoying it diddn't get the mass success it should of been. Thanks RCA lol. I love GT, because to me it revitalized Adams recording career. OF course MM hearing TOH Demo wanted them to work with Adam again. But I feel GT re established Adam. And it made producers and writers want to work with Adam again.
