No matter how perfectly Adam's music rollout was planned by his team, at the end, the heavy lifting is done almost inadvertently by Adam himself, creating a viral moment with Believe just by being his usual talented self, and probably charming TS backstage at Ellen, just by being his usual delightful self.

Last night as I was falling asleep I was thinking about Taylor Swift putting Adam's song on her playlist. Did she have an agenda or promotional purpose? Then it dawned on me that, no, she just liked the song. Duh. She doesn't need a reason other than that she liked it. Although young, she has achieved that degree of agency. And yes, katycake , you're right; the combination of visibility from Queen and Cher plus Adam undoubtedly charming her at Ellen did the trick. Serendipity — I love it! I wanted post this for anyone who is interested in a long-ish article about the business of pop music today. It does not mention Adam, but it is clearly a space that Adam could fit in. The enormous added bonus of QAL probably elevates his position but it wouldn't surprise me if he and his team are thinking this way. It is certainly encouraging about touring in general. Carly Rae Jepsen And The Rise Of The Micro Pop StarAs hip-hop and streaming change the power dynamics of musical celebrity, Jepsen and other artists making traditional pop have embraced a new kind of boutique stardom.

DJ Louie XIV, BuzzFeed Contributor www.buzzfeednews.com/article/djlouiexiv/carly-rae-jepsen-dedicated-robyn-niche-pop-musicThanks, interesting read. It says her and other stars in the micro culture have landed with a hard-core LGBTQ fanbase and embraced by the likes of Pitchfork and almost exclusively talks about women singers and has to tour almost non-stop. I don't disagree with the premise, it really talks about Rap/Funk etc taking over the pop world and if you look at the billboard charts on spotify it's totally true. Adam's had to find his own micro-culture, thank you Queen, Idol, and moms. It also talks about having a successful career and never making it on to the charts. I'm not sure whether I'm sanguine or depressed after reading it. It does make you long for the 70s so good move Adam.

ADAM LAMBERT @adamlambert Wow, thanks for putting New Eyes on your playlist Taylor! @taylorswift13 apple.co/PlaylistByMeThis may be because Taylor likes the song but the timing on who recommendation and now this playlist add has been close to perfect. I do not think this was a total accident.
Perhaps the initial backstage encounter was unplanned. But today is the day he needed to get a big playlist add.
Or maybe I am just jaded.

The timing indeed is perfect. Let's hope he gets some nice adds on Spotify as well. Although I saw a lot of tweets from fans already who made this playlist on Spotify as well. Fans asking for a Spotify playlist as they are not using Apple Music. So we'll see. New Eyes is also very high on the playlist. It won't surprise me if it will chart tomorrow on Apple Music.
