Hopefully the next Adam single will fit US Pop Radio. Listening the 10 tracks left on the CD (it will not be a bonus track), and forgetting what I like because my taste does not matter, here's my ranking of Pop-ability -- the % is my odds on each track being the next single -- JMHO: 45% Cuckoo (pure pop, solid hook, simple, right beat, production would fit pop radio, not retro, would fit with Pop and HAC radio) 25% Trespassing (much better live then recorded IMHO, seems like Adam's pick, what radio format? I gave it 25% because IF they have a way to promo this song without radio, I think it could be a hit. Just can't see it fitting with current Pop radio or HAC.) 20% Naked Love (extra points because Adam did not write it and RCA has picked all non-Adam songs for his singles, fits radio but generic on the studio version, better live then recorded, would fit with Pop and HAC radio -- but there are many songs like it.) 5% Kickin' In, Pop the Lock (like a lot of this album -- so much better live! 3% Shady, Chokehold (great album tracks that have no radio home. What station would really support either of these two songs?) 1% Outlaws of Love, Broken English (my fav track on the album is BE and it would have been a megahit in 1988.) <1% odds: Underneath The problem with these calculations, as I see it, is that Adam does not 'fit' US pop and these sorts of choices have not worked so far, with this album. Perhaps it is time to go with what people like rather than what we 'think' is radio friendly. Radio is not 'friendly'. It is a bully. You can only win with bullies when you challenge them, or decorate their a## with gold. Where would 'Rolling in the Deep' have fit re pop radio...?

The flights from Tokyo/Seoul have landed in Sydney and the OZ promo twitterlist reports seeing and meeting Adam and the band. Luckily they don't have much time difference to endure - only exhaustion from travelling.

And given that Cuckoo & Trespassing are in the PLL episode, my bet for the next single is on one of these two. My question is, if they used some of the footage from PLL in the single's video, would it more likely be for Cuckoo or Trespassing? My bet is on Cuckoo. In that case, would they let Adam release a music video with clips from the PLL episode before the episode airs or would they want it to be afterwards? And would this have any consideration in the choosing of the next single?

But I can see how others might not feel the same.

You can only win with bullies when you challenge them, or decorate their a## with gold. Where would 'Rolling in the Deep' have fit re pop radio...? RITD became a hit in other formats and crossed over to Pop- that's why it "got in". A song like Shady would have to cross over from another format for Pop radio to give it a chance. Unfortunately, radio is already going to be hesitant to spin single #3 due to the way the first two singles performed, so any song they select has a big uphill battle from the start. Can a third single become a Pop hit after the first two failed to even make it into the Top 40? Sure, but it is a long shot and the cases of this happening are few and far between. Usually, it requires MAJOR $ from the label (and those cases have been when a label shot three singles out in a period of two or three months, trying to get something to hit on the charts) or something big like a judging job on The Voice or some other unusual coincidence of events. I hope RCA has something different up their sleeves and they are able to push single #3 in a way they haven't been able to do with #1 and #2.
