#16 on sales, but #146 on the total chart. The difference streaming makes in today's world. And no single on the radio to boost the sales. Billboard Charts @billboardcharts .@adamlambert's 'VELVET: Side A' (EP) debuts at No. 146 on this week's #Billboard200. At least he did better than Tegan and Sara who debuted on 154. No wonder that Adam is relatively quiet, despite his need to recuperate. Question is, was the US promo enough, or did it get drowned out by all the Queen stuff? After all, he had two Queen commitments during his promo week, and one of them was pretty major, and following that Adam got sick and was let down by the Kelly and Ryan's tech crew. Has Adam's fan base let him down or does it take more than the core base to stream? I believe that for Adam the latter is the case. I was also surprised by the low number of digital copies sold and I was wondering if some Glamberts purchased a digital copy but forgot to download, or if many did only purchase the physical cd, which hadn't been shipped yet and thus didn't count toward purchases. Sorry to be so bluntly honest. I think the #16 in sales was achieved thanks to the fan base’s never dying commitment! It really seems to me that only die hard fans would actually buy a track nowadays, never mind a CD - this is most probably for collectors only. QAL imo was a plus, got extra visibility and extra TV face time, especially on MSNBC. the only thing I would’ve loved is for them to have included SP in the GC set, which I bet Adam himself refused to do. streaming is the key... I agree with Skaschep - there is a chance SP will move up the charts, who knows may be radio will pick it up too (not holding my breath on the latter)

We won't be seeing Adam's likes and followers on Instagram anymore soon. Instagram is removing that feature from their app. Typo? You mean "likes and follows", right? I have always seen it as a total invasion of privacy if someone's "likes" and "follows" and "comments" can be seen by everybody. (and for my own sanity I really don't need to know what Adam's latest fashion obsession is) Yup sorry! Edited.

On the positive side: There is a chance the position of the EP can go up! Depending on how the promo this week will be received and what the response will be. I truly hope Adam is feeling much better again when he has to record these shows. Yes, time to regroup and look ahead!! The US promo isn't done yet, and I am looking forward it. I will do my part at keeping the buzz going and I sincerely hope that Adam is doing alright. I just keep streaming and streaming. I already purchased, so I'm not going to do that again. I view the video pretty often, too. But I've been streaming the SP like crazy. I hope at least a few major US radio stations play it. There have to be a least a few program directors who find the song "worthy." Sheesh. This is so frustrating.
