There was a conversation about a disappointed fan on yesterday's thread. I think the release may feel a little disjointed but without a major label release, I think that was to be expected. Some are disappointed that after waiting for the album it is in 2 EP's and no singles to radio. I wanted to purchase the physical CD because I always go thru several outlets just to support him. I have several CD players on various combination radios but I don't use them anymore. But I still have stacks of Adam CD's, lol. Streaming is the thing now but I don't see how Adam gets huge streaming numbers in the US without his music being heard everywhere. I hear some non fans gleefully claiming he has no hits so far because nothing has been on the radio or charted. But fans mostly understand that it won't chart on radio if there were never any plans for it to be there in the first place. But we are going to support his efforts no matter what. As for CD's being a thing of the past, well the major labels and many stars are still releasing them. And fans know other musicians are still releasing CD's so there is no point is saying they are a thing of the past. But many of the others also have the advantage of being played on radio and their labels getting them on the many streaming playlists so they are getting exposure on all fronts. I don't have many expectations now of what will happen so I'll just go with and support whatever Adam decides to do. I have no idea what the "big single" even means so not going to get overly excited until I see it going someplace. Adam has a plan and I hope it is working as he expected. He is a major talent who needs to be seen and heard by the masses, imo. And not just as the Queen frontman tho I am thankful for that recognition and exposure for him. It keeps me sane. HA! Adam added to his IG post "#velvet *PRE-ORDER/SAVE LINK IN BIO (both digital and physical options available) for those also looking for CDs. About the "big single", I'm guessing that future plans for the album, including touring, depends on how well the single does. A lot may be riding on this "big single" for Adam. And if the fans don't proactively (buying and streaming most importantly) help it go someplace, by helping get the streaming numbers up right from the start, we may never see it go someplace as you put it. If I understand correctly, an initial big push in streaming helps the single get on big playlists which is the key to great streaming numbers, and can determine whether the "big single" goes anywhere or not.. much like CIH which didn't get on many playlists, and accounts for the low streaming numbers. Skaschep please correct me if I'm wrong. http://instagr.am/p/B1LZI8rhMsI And I have pre ordered Empire and the other buying methods. But when I said I like to buy the physical CD's from several outlets for support, I mean a few from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart etc. I just did it for support in the past as well as the other methods. So my point was not that I needed them. I didn't lol. But I understand that is not possible now so I it is what it is. And as for supporting his songs, Feel Something took me to a place of excitement that I had not been for a bit. The crash of reality was pretty hard when I found out there was no promotion or push planned. But I supported each and every single he has released since then by buying and streaming. NE was my second favorite and CIH last but I do like it. But with Skaschep's video playlist and her Spotify streaming list (much appreciated) and my own streaming playlist on Amazon, I pretty much play them day and night. Can't do much more than that even with the new song. I think it is going to take more than fans to make something big happen. Don't know what that is but I think the fans are doing as much as they can with the limited options.
