Someone, I think Bamafan? mentioned that Adam still owns 2 homes. Do you know if his previous home is still listed for sale or did he take it off market, or renting out. Any idea?

Lol, poor Brian is dying to spill the beans. For the first time in forever, I will go to a concert unspoiled simply because the Vancouver show will be the first to reveal whatever they have been cooking. I am SO excited! Last week I went to another classic rock show, by another over-70-years-old performer with an impeccable sound, modern stage design, and a never ending list of hits (see if you can guess the three-letters name of the group ). However, I already owned virtually the same show on BluRay from a 2017 Wembley Stadium recording. So while I enjoyed the vocal and musical perfection that was presented to me live and possibly in even better quality due to the two years of practice since that recording was made, there was really nothing new to surprise me. And then they dropped the only song from my favorite album that was originally included on the set list, so I ended up slightly disappointed... I am counting the days to see the QAL show through new eyes. I cannot imagine how Brian feels counting the days until it is revealed...

I'm really excited to see the new set also...will be interesting to see the list of songs that'll be included, hopefully some new ones. I'm not really familiar with the Queen catalog, not really being aware of them before Adam, but I'm getting REALLY familiar with the staple of the set lol. Of course, I don't think I'll ever get tired of my favorite, WWTLF.

Hey I feel silly, but Soundcloud counts to Adam over all sales/streams hits right?? Does its work combined with Streams, or with separate streaming buying/stream platforms, or do they just add it up -sort of forgot? Curious how streaming thing really works. Does it just count on one platform like Spotify, or do they count all platforms?? If you get what I mean. Also, I think no one posted CIH on QAL on facebook. PS I was right, Adam is just putting out the slow songs out so they can be streamed. lol I knew it. The bigger songs are coming in September, he just wants Streams. Smart, I say. And he gets more $$$ They do pay but it's not (or it wasn't) based on streams and artists say they don't make money. They have been making changes to payment structure but it's more of a discovery platform than money making. Both Adams SoundCloud fans and Deezer fans have been increasing from one or two a day from before NE to more in the 5-10 range daily which reflects the total usage of those platforms but seeing the increase per day is great. In contrast he gets 400-500 new followers every day on Spotify.

CIH got on a new playlist, curated by Spotify, today called Virgo - open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX6PdsVYbP4rIIt's not my cup of tea after listening to most of the 30 songs but it's got 53,000 followers with a good percentage of active listeners and CIH is in the top third.

Fireworks just happened and I've been super busy today, so I'm very late to say Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canucks!

I see, I think I should re word it. Ok That's great that it's increasing.
I think this is what I meant: Does streaming that counts toward sales, only reflect from Spotify only, or do they COMBINE with other streaming platforms like Soundcloud etc... Does that make sense? I am just wondering how it helps Adam to stream just ONE streaming site, in other words Would it make sense to stream in different STREAMING sites, because of the combined streams WOULD make a impact OR just stream SPOTIFY or SOUNDCLOUD.
Does that make sense? basically: Does streaming other sites affect/help Adam overall in gaining Stream numbers so it can count toward the ALBUMS sales? Or not really, I assuming Spotify, has the best results??
Hope that's better.

Hey, on a more serious note. just gonna leaves this here on what Putin says about the gays. Actually I agree on some points. No wonder Adam received Black lash. Putin mentions Elton John www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rAU62JkPzsPutin is good at propaganda for those who are looking for justification for bigotry and harassment against the gay community. That is not a positive thing any way you look at it. People have been tortured. Lives have been lost. The only thing Adam ever did in Russia was perform at his concerts. He didn't give any speeches or bother any kids. There was one bomb threat in St. Peterburg but it was nothing that Adam did. Homophobes just did not want him to perform. But the performance went on with no incidents. I don't see how anyone could think it was okay to threaten him for just existing and performing for his fans. Madonna and Gaga were outspoken about gay rights in Russia and there was backlash over that, so I don't know if they can or have returned. But Adam has been back as a solo artist and with Queen. Fans there love him. TOH album went platinum in Russia. So not sure what backlash there was against him and why it would have been justified.
