That's right...how wonderful !!! It's a thrill to think that my purchase of 6 copies may have contributed to this awesomeness ! lol. I checked at my Walmart this morning and even on the computer they have no record of GNT Live. They do however, the nice lady informed me, have an Adam Lambert CD, TAKE ONE, coming out at the end of the year. She looked like she could take it, so I sweetly said (not at all blaming her for the foul up,) "Oh, the bastard CD with his hijacked music, hmmm." She said, "Really?" And I told her that yes, it was. Her music rep comes in Tuesdays and Thursdays and she'll ask about GNT. She said Walmart doesn't handle the music dept that an independent company does it. Not sure what that means, but she was being sweet and helpful. I already have my 2 copies, but was going to get one more to send to someone.... or hide beneath my underwear just in case.I checked K Mart today and they had 5 GNL cd/dvd's last week, but they sold out..they will be ordering more..Walmart doesn't reorder until all of the cd's are sold..so they said

Q3: I think this qualifies as five figures!  Did you/we expect this number?? And is this the DVD or the CD requirement for gold in Canada? Sony_Music islandgirljams & @oriharakaoru So far @adamlambert 's #GNL has sold 35k in Canada! So close to 40k (which would make it Gold)! So great! OMG!! That is a breadth-taking number! |

My Walmart only had 4 when I bought 2 and I checked again yesterday and the remaining 2 were still there, in front in the reg. music L's. I will continue to keep a eye on those...hoping they sell. I'm so glad to see them on display  , but a little sad that they are still sitting there on the shelf.  |

I can't be the only one wondering what spilled on Adam's shirt. A drink? Or was someone just very happy to be with someone who makes their "heart" very full? Haha! I knew I wasn't the only one thinking it. Along with the suspiciously uncharacteristic untucked shirts the last couple of nights!  There were some peeps on twitter saying that is a Lewinsky "spill" : And annietoo I was wondering about the shirts too. I know I have a dirty mind. |

There were some peeps on twitter saying that is a Lewinsky "spill" : And annietoo I was wondering about the shirts too. I know I have a dirty mind. Ewwww. LOL. It is probably just a drink he spilled. Lol when I am drunk I spill drinks left and right. I am sure if he was to be jacking off his man in public he would have some sort of bedazzled protective cape or funnel or resevoir or something to protect himself from spillage. This isn't his first go 'round on the man train and the boy does love his accessories. I'd just think he would be better prepared. ERM, Ok that's more than I wanted to discuss glamjaculate today.....or ever. *runs off screaming* |

This is a pretty amazing staitistic! And anyone who won't admit that Adam was the big draw is delusional!!! Wonder how much Adam made from merchandise that summer. They ran out of his stuff quite a bit. Adam's 2009 tour figures are nearly identical to the 2008 numbers, although 2009 tour numbers overall were down 40%. (If I've got any of that wrong, Q3 can whack me upside the head with the correct stats.) Whack! The Season 8 tour equaled Season 7. Despite a slightly lower number of total tickets sold at 483,535, it averaged slightly higher in attendance percentage capacity at 85.6% and yielded a higher gross of $30.05 million. * Number of Shows - 52 (8 sold out) * Total Gross - $30,053,733 * Total Attendance - 483,535 * Average Attendance - 9,299 (85.6%) * Average Ticket Price - $62.15 American Idols LIVE! 2008 * Number of Shows - 53 (9 sold out) * Total Gross - $29,906,507 * Total Attendance - 493,296 * Average Attendance - 9,307 (85.1%) * Average Ticket Price - $60.63 The lower number of tickets sold for Season 8 is because of there was 1 less show on the tour. The Season 9 tour was much smaller and not comparable. IMO since AI8 Tour = AI7 Tour, Adam draw = Cook + Archie. That is my Adam Algebra and I stand by it. Subsequent tour ticket success proves that Adam is a very strong live act when it comes to ticket sales. Cook have 1 concert coming up in DC. Tickets have been for sales for a couple of weeks. It has not been promoted but is not close to sold out. If there was an Adam concert with 1,853 seats on 4/13/11 in DC -- it would be sold out in 5 minutes. And plane tickets would be purchased by some of us. |
