Exhausting conversations on what to do about ADAM... I am a fan for ten years now and as much as I have always believed that Adam is the best and the most of any singer/entertainer out there,there are others in the world who have other favorites.Just how it is. IMHO,Adam is trying ,for his mental well being ,to get off the gerbil wheel of who is the best and who sells the most.Maybe he is TRYING to be happy with the major success he has achieved and to put less pressure on himself.He wrote us a very emotional letter about his time of depression and gave us a beautiful song. Now he is throwing tons of pictures at us.. What Do some Want from Him??? Personally I just want him to be happy and fulfilled and to live a very long fruitful life... He owes me nothing .. It's his life to live as he sees fit. Too many major stars end up either in deep depression or dead from this wonderful world called show business. I think it is healthy for us fans and our expectations toward Adam to keep that open letter in mind. Achieving and maintaining mental health is a process which takes more than just putting a bandaid on. I admit that there is another side of me as a fan who desires even greater success and visibility for Adam, but keeping a perspective on what really matters is important. Adam is more than comfortable financially, he may even be in love currently, and the past few months have garnered him a great deal of attention already. I am telling myself to trust the process and keep Adam's overall well being in mind. I just read his open letter again and commented on it again. I truly hope for him to keep validating and owning his most important needs. I think it is the basis of everything.

So here's what I'm doing for the past couple of weeks on Spotify. I'm playing the PopRightNow playlist
on shuffle and whenever I think of it I click the FeelSomething play button to give it more spins. Now this doesn't get as many plays of the song as using a repeating FS only or short Adam only playlist but I feel it makes me more of a real person to Spotify. I also heart songs that I like that are in the playlist, to start linking Adam to those artists and other current songs. This helps Spotify's computer program know what the song sounds like besides the beats per minute ratio. This particular playlist is important because it is a Spotify curated one. We don't know if there is an actual person or just computer algorithms behind putting it together but Spotify does look at how songs perform on it's playlists more than on regular user's playlists. This playlist shows 60 songs but it actually seems to have around 80 in it's database so if you have hearted FeelSomething it may show to you but not to everyone. Currently it has popped back up into the top 60 and shows to the majority of listeners. Another thing to note is that while the playlist has almost 700,000 followers that doesn't mean that many people are listening to it. I has had just under 39,000 listeners in the last 4 weeks. Listeners don't have to listen to every song to be counted so no knowing for us any specifics on FS, we can just hope that other people have hearted it too. I just went to add that playlist but Feel Something is not on it. To be correct: this is a tailored playlist. Based on your preference in music it will put songs in a different order, but also changes the songs on the list. When I scroll down through the list I can see Feel Something on the list. It was #55 earlier this afternoon en just now it was #60. So that means it really changes quickly. When you don't see it you might want to put Feel Something in your favorites by liking it. I have no idea how Spotify decides what to show you though.

I'm playing the PopRightNow playlist on shuffle and whenever I think of it I click the FeelSomething play button to give it more spins............................. I just put this list on and Feel Something popped up as first to be played due to popularity! mszue, It is popular! but it's at the top because you've hearted it and probably haven't hearted any other songs since. This playlist adjusts to the listener and has more actual songs on it than are listed. If you want to see where it is normally open it up in an incognito window. csquared - I totally agree, I'm not going to spin myself into a tizzy trying to get streaming numbers up. This is easy enough for me now and gives me a nice lane between despair that nothing is happening and anxiousness that we aren't doing enough. But at the same time I think in this day and age that streaming is a precursor to radio and not the other way around.

Just like he said a decade ago...I’d like Adam to keep giving us what we didn’t know we wanted! For me, on TV as often as possible!! 😁

Does playing FS in a playlist on Spotify on repeat....say playing FS 10 times per day or 20 times.....count more than just playing FS individually by hitting that one song's play button 10 times per day or 20 times spread out over 24hrs? And have we decided that Spotify is more important or counts more than YouTube plays? Do the free account plays count the same as the premium plays?
When the new single drops....I'll try and do better than I'm doing now. And any hints, or instructions as to the best way of doing things will be appreciated.

Others here probably have better or more qualified answers to your question, but what I am doing currently is what I truly feel like. I am listening to a looooong Spotify playlist of favorite songs that I created, mostly Adam songs but not all, some from Isaiah and others from suggestions, and FS is mixed in every fourth or fifth song or so. My favorite song sequence currently is Runnin', Feel Something, Lay Me Down, TOH... It is so easy to listen to Spotify, while in the kitchen, in the car etc. Here and there I hit the FS live video.

THanks sizzling. I don't listen to Spotify and only have it here on my desk computer. I can turn the audio on Spotify almost off and still listen to other things over it thruout the day. I'll try and improve my streaming....but feel like it's a chore. I just want to do it the best way for it to count in the total stream amounts.

Still hot as ever! Love that old pic. So smoldering. kind of a biker look, real bad-boy. And on the right, we have a hint of a smile, pretty relaxed. What a trip this has been! (so far) Yay, somebody found the picture I was talking about last week. I thought his hair was longer back then but gosh, show this to someone and ask them how long between pictures and they'd probably say a couple of months not more than a decade. Guy doesn't age.
