One reason I am worried about first week sales is that during the UK launch of NCOE good sales during the first week were touted as very important for radio play. That was the first single there, before the album. Different story. Shosh wanted the UK to see he has a sjzeable fanbase. |

I know that till a month ago or so a song in Germany had to be registered to chart. The labels could choose when to do it to get a high chart position first week. For most artists I think that would have been the week the physical version of the single is released (if there is a physical version). You were able to buy the digital version, but no matter how high the sales were it won't appear on the official charts. The song usually gets serviced to the radio 8 weeks before the release week and 2-3 weeks before is the premiere of the mv on TV. But as the digital sales are getting more important, there is no registering any more and any song can chart. The first week will definitly loose it's importance here too like in the US. |

There is no mystery with radio anymore. By this point, going into the third single, RCA certainly has learned that radio isn't an ally. And I don't think we will be seeing Adam heading out on any radio tours (although Jingle Balls are a different beast) The song will need a platform, but I think RCA has figured out that they will need new and different avenues to sell the song. Why would rca support a third single when it's too late for the album? I think it's up to Adam and his management, not rca now. |

I know that according to what RCA said to BB that several singles were planned, but that was before it was so apparent that sales would be quite low. I would not be surprise of what you say is true, and I wonder what Adam and his management can do to push this song. Is it usually the label who pushes for radio play or is that also something management would do? |

RCA wants Adam to succeed as much as we do. IDG, the meme that RCA is not or has not supported the singles or Adam. They just made idiotic, safe, wrong decisions for the first 2 singles. Hopefully this will rectify it. |

Corporations don't have consciences, and can't be guilted into spending money. Also, I believe that rca picked the right singles to start off with, so guilt is unnecessary. btikm and ncoe were excellent singles, not "idiotic, safe and wrong decisions." If radio did not play a cool song by Bruno, will it play a cool song by Adam? Will a third single get trp selling again? If the likely answers are no and no, what incentive is there for rca to spend money? It's up to Adam and his management now, not up to rca. |

I really think there is a plan, we only know about PLL but from what Adam said in recent interviews it looks like there will be more. If RCA believes in the plan then they will do their part. IMO of course |

In a month or so we will have a better idea. It is indeed possible that RCA does not want to spend any more money on this project. And that could also be the reason for the quick promo trip to Australia. IMO, what RCA told BB months ago doesn't matter. this is a fluid process and I'm sure things are assessed all along the way. Still, I am hoping Trespassing gets a real shot. It's an awesome song, and it deserves a chance. |

Guys, this stuff has been discussed to death! How about waiting to see what happens???  I'm tired of all the doom and gloom. Let's at least give the new single a chance. It does not do Adam any favors to put all this angst out there!!! |
