@outseide: Girl Scouts of W. Washington returned $100K donation b/c donor didn't want it used for trans* girls. Help them out! #/story ht tps://www.indiegogo.com/projects/girl-scouts-is-foreverygirl#/story As a Girl Scout... the organization takes a beating from the far 'right'. They have accused GS for distributing Planned Parenthood materials, which is an outright lie. The organization really tries to be accessible to ALL girls, despite physical/developmental restrictions, religion or political officiations of the parents. Just can't win.

Look at his happy face............. he LOVES them. " I guess I am in the minority -- I prefer the new geometric partial sleeve to Adam's "leafy arm". I think I need to see them both live and up close to be sure! ETA: I bet that we get to see the new tats on display at some point soon. He needs to pace himself. It seems that Adam gets a new one when he reaches some sort of personal milestone. He needs to leave some more space for the future. Adam needs to be around for the long haul.

Wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this issue. I signed up for spotify, started a playlist and then did a search. I played ghost town and then let it just continue and every single song that followed Adam was an idol contestant, Clay, Brook White, many others I could barely remember. Not one artist that wasn't associated with Idol. Pandora was a little better, had a sprinkling of Maroon 5, Katy Perry and Gaga but I was disappointed in that too. I listened to Pandora last night for 5 straight hours while I was working on my computer and only 4 Adam songs played, unfortunately Naked Love, If I Had You, and two others I can't remember. No Ghost Town and nothing good (sorry can't stand Naked Love or If I had You). How is he suppose to capture a new young audience when they lump him only with other Idol contestants, I want to see him on Rhianna, Sam Smith, etc. play lists. Any thoughts, any hope for progress? Just a reminder -- Pandora does not count for Billboard, Spotify does.For starters it is changing. The biggest problem appears to be that Adam fans seem to hang out in an Adam silo. Amazon is down right silly. People who buy TOH also buy TOH. Spotify finds related artists by analyzing everyone’s listening patterns and can cross-reference similarities between people’s favorite types of music. The only way Adam will lose all these Idol associations is if people listen to Adam and Mark Ronson and Rhianna and Sam Smith. What Q3 said! ^^^ I'm a new-ish Spotify user. When I look at DISCOVER section of Spotify, the artists that are "similar" are Idol folks. I don't listen to them or have any interest (other than Kelly). I have a few non-idol folks thrown in Mika, Avril Lavigne, The Veronicas and Xtina. Just don't click through on the other Idol artists. My theory is eventually they'll drop off. I find it a little bizarre that these are my options. I listen to top 40 music and some alternative... so I'm keeping my fingers crossed this association will change. Mika is the only artist among these that I've pulled up on Spotify. Does anyone know if The Veronicas is made of one or more prior idols? Never heard of them.

I finally was able to get Underground in my ITunes, my hubby figured it out for me finally or maybe it was just working in the am when he tried. I wanted to point out anyone in the Balt./DC area they have been playing Ghost Town 2x's a day on 106.5 Balt. It's been on around 2:30-3pm & later in the evening around 6-7pm. I have requested it both days as well. Didn't get a chance to see or request it today so not sure if they played it today. It doesn't appear 104.3 is playing it, I requested it twice & still didn't play it. I had heard it on their station though the first few days it was released. April 28-30th timeframe. I haven't heard it again though. I asked my girls 4 & 8 yrs old which song they liked better they both said they liked "Ghost Town" better. My 4 yr. old loves it a lot. In the car she always wants me to put it on. It's funny because she also loves "Show Must Go On" I play the New Yrs. Eve concert in London & she likes that one & "We are the Champions". [sigh] The problem with 106.5 is that the signal fuzzes out by the time it hits DC. Ok in the NE suburbs, but anywhere else it's normally too static-y to deal with. Heard it once on 94.7 while driving, but not since. Close and yet so far....

Thanks so much for bringing this over. It appeals to my marketing background. Wish I could get my hands on their data. I wonder how they filter out hard core fans data.

coo.coo.ca.choo, I am having the same issue. I pre-ordered copies of TOH a while back. I just want to buy a download of Underground. I know how to use iTunes. Can't seem to find it on iTunes by itself to buy. What am I missing? Seems like a lot of people are buying it somehow. drummer - double check to make sure that it didn't download already. I was having trouble this morning, so I just dropped trying to get it until just now. When I went to iTunes, it was grayed out and said pre-order still, but the "gift it" option was there when I right clicked. So I exited iTunes and then re-opened it. Checked my download area and it was there. Its worth a shot.

Craazyforadam - I completely agree with you, believe it or not. GT is perfect for radio, for all the reasons you state. I like GT, but Underground is probably more of a track I could listen to years from now. That doesn't negate GT as the right decision or mean that I dislike it. As I tell my husband when he complains about top 40... All music has a purpose. Some of it is like fast food, tastes good going down, then not so much later. Then there is music that is like ice cream. Still fast food, but you remember it as delicious. Then there are 4 course meals from 4 star resturants, which you wish to relive over an over. Everything serves its purpose. I couldn't live on fast food or 4 course meals everyday. Thankfully, I like all of it. Hubby can keep his classic rock station.
