Velvet Side B is now 1st on their list! Translated from French The most anticipated albums of 2020: #LadyGaga, #Adele and #Rihanna. Closer to us, @louisjean_solo, @mattholubowski, @ludo_Bourgeois, pat _Miche and @charlottecardin. Complete list: fw.to/cy6uRw#iHeartRadioVelvet Side B wasn't originally on this list, until the tweet below by Irene.
Translated from French Irene: I would have greatly appreciated that the album of #AdamLambert - #Velvet - whose Face A was released in 2019 but which Face B will soon complete. The (sorry) lack of publicity from which this album suffers does not take away from the incredible quality! iHeart: Thank you @irneneuschwand1, we add it with pleasure!

I hear what you are saying and I sure don't know enough about this to really know what could help. Just wishing and hoping I guess!LOL! Right. Me too. Better distributions won't help him it seems. Radio is of no use to him and is outdated according to some tho it sure helps others with exposure, sales and moving high up on the charts. Adam does not have enough fans to put up huge streaming numbers to make much of a difference so why does the prodding continue? Fans can't get him on the big streaming playlists. We always hear what can't help. Never what will except for things that can't be changed like fans should stream more. Fans who are going to buy already buy. Fans who are going to stream and play the videos already do that. Empire does not have much reach so it is what it is as far as bringing in new fans. His exposure is limited so maybe fan expectations should be limited (they pretty much are already) and we can just relax and enjoy the good music. And QAL. And solo Adam concerts. HA. You may see it as "prodding", but I see it as gentle reminders for those who might find it useful. The solo Adam tour may depend on how well his album does, which may be determined by the number of streams, video views, etc., so it's all connected and his solo tour doesn't come out of a vacuum.. just something to keep in mind.

I wasn't referring to you or those with "gentle reminders." But there are some who chastise fans for not doing enough streaming when Adam needs additional fans and more exposure. We all know that by now but we still see the finger wagging tweets. Adam's current fans stream if they want and as often as they want. But anyone can do a solo tour if they choose to do one. Some of us (me included) stream 24/7 but not because I think it will determine his tour plans.

lurleene, you make a lot of good points. I try to be a realist about Adam's solo music success. Why he does not do better on the charts is beyond me. His music is as good as anybody's, yet his fanbase does not grow. It's a puzzle we cannot seem to solve. But I do believe that our continued support doing the only things that we CAN do for him are still important. Buying, streaming, downloading, viewing. I don't know what else there is to do. We vote for him, we retweet stuff about him, we request his songs. His solo. music should be his meat and potatoes. QAL should be a delicious dessert. I don't know the answer but I do know that I will stream Velvet Side B and the whole album as much as I can.
He needs a mega-hit. SP has done well, but it's not a super-hit. Wish he gets some new opportunities to diversify. Just went to the movies today and saw Little Women (excellent!). They ran a preview for the Aretha Franklin film starring Jennifer Hudson. She'll likely get an Oscar nom for her role. Jennifer doesn't do much recording work. Doesn't tour her music. She's been luck to get into acting a bit, and product sponsor, etc. And a role in this new movie is a real coup. Would love to see Adam get more chances at an acting role.

I keep Spotify and Amazon playlists streaming all day and night with the volume down. I play the video playlists. Buy whatever is for sale. Will do the same when Side B comes out. I don't know either how he can get more exposure but his streaming numbers are not going to go nuts without a lot more fan exposure.

I must be a bad fan, but I always figure it's Adam's job and his people's job to figure out how to get him (more) exposure, not my job as a fan.
I feel a bit blessed that I don't feel the stress some of you guys do at trying to navigate Adam's success story. I just enjoy his music and the tours and the excitement of his career. No stress involved.
