He's been on Amazon Movers & Shakers all day today.. only at position 305 but was down in the 600's. I thinking people might be purchasing due to the ragae video...who knows...but selling a few at least.

Based on this article, it is clear that: - Music videos are critical -- more and more people listen to music on YouTube. - Online "buzz" via social media and YouTube views are important ways to convince radio to play an artist's songs. - Radio is still needed to boost songs to an awareness level high enough to generate big (1 million+) sales. Excerpt:
"For decades, the song of the summer would emerge each year following a pattern as predictable as the beach tides. Pop radio would get it rolling before school let out, and soon the song — inevitably one with a big, playful beat and an irresistible hook — would blare from car stereos everywhere. But the success of this summer’s hit, Carly Rae Jepsen’s cheerfully flirty “Call Me Maybe,” shows how much the hitmaking machine, as well as the music industry itself, has been upended by social media.
Only a year ago, the charts were dominated by stars who had come out of the old machine of radio and major-label promotion: Katy Perry, Rihanna, Adele, Maroon 5. This year’s biggest hits — “Call Me Maybe,” Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” and Fun.’s “We Are Young” — started in left field and were helped along by YouTube and Twitter before coming to the mainstream media.
Nearly two-thirds of teenagers listen to music on YouTube, more than any other medium, Nielsen said last week. Ms. Jepsen said in a recent interview that “the viral videos are what’s been the driving force for this. It was insane to see that the music could spread that far because of the Internet. It’s a cool thing. It changes the game completely.”
YouTube, Twitter and Facebook are now record labels’ textbook tools for starting a marketing campaign, and if the numbers there are big enough, they can be used in pitches to radio and television programmers.
The song’s [Call me Maybe] trajectory also demonstrates the continuing power of radio, which record executives say is still essential to turn any song — no matter how much online buzz it has — into a genuine smash. In March and April, when “Call Me Maybe” was getting tens of millions of views on YouTube, it still had relatively low radio play — fewer than 5,000 spins a week on Top 40 stations in the United States, according to Nielsen. It hit No. 1 on iTunes on May 27, but took almost a month to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s singles chart, which counts sales as well as airplay and streaming services. By then it had about 20,000 spins a week on multiple radio formats.
'There’s not a million-seller out there that doesn’t have radio play,” said Jay Frank, chief executive of the label DigSin. “But its first million generally doesn’t come from radio.' "To read more:

NCOE entered at #10 this week on the Hottest Top 10 Foreign Singles, but Adam's got way more attention than the rest of people on the list.
The female host opened the segment with neon fashion in celebrity, an one liner mention of RiRi then proceeding with footage of Adam's Idol NCOE performance, where he wore neon under shirt and neon ear rings and neon nails. The host was quite enamored with his handsomeness and daring, unique fashion sense, but did not fail to add that he's not just a gorgeous face, but a true mega talent! No.1 debut in the US and fronting Queen (showing EMA footage & with Queen & KA at finale, too) were all ticked. Oh, it showed part of NCOE vid, too.
Awesome exposure in China! [img src="![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/clap.gif"][/IMG] [/size][/font] |

There are real glimmers of success for NCOE all over the world. I really think this bodes well for Adam's next single. For those of you who thought Kris was not going to have a second single, I just read on his official site that he announced that he would have one coming out very soon. So I guess his management still has faith in him. Not sure a new sign of anything. (I did not see an announcement on his official site. Perhaps it was a fan comment? If it was an official announcement from RCA than I agree with you, perhaps the rumors of Kris being dropped are not true.) If RCA announced that Kris would have a new single, that would matter. But Kris announced it. I do not follow Kris closely but with total US sales of around 23K for his last album and no international sales, why would RCA exercise an option for a third album? David Cook performed a new single on May 10, 2012 (Idol Top 3) then confirmed after the show he had been dropped by RCA. The single was self-released on May 10, 2012. So he was already dropped before anyone "officially" knew. |

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't realize there was a distinct difference between an artist announcing a single and a label announcing it (I thought it was something where if the artist announced, then label would soon follow). I don't think Kris would announce a single if it weren't happening so I guess he could go the self-release route. Or do you think maybe RCA will throw it out there with no support like they did with AWM? |

Major labels invest money in promotion only when they believe the artist will earn enough money from royalties to pay them back. Can't see how that would happen for Kris at this point. I do not have any way to know what will happen for Kris but I wish him the best. |

Numbers from UKMIX on the Current Physical Albums chart
14 144 164 185 LAMBERT*ADAM TRESPASSING 1339 2 1317 103636
He's not on the Current Digital Albums chart and #200 sold 638 copies so the most Trespassing could have sold this week of both would be 1976 but more likely it is down around 1700. Earlier we reported that total sales figure from Pulse but I'm not quite sure if that was as of week 13 or 14 as it was posted the day before the week 14 numbers were leaked on UKMIX.
ETA: Asked on Pulse and the person who posted the last total for Trespassing said it was 8/25 chart week so that was week 13.
