Love #pll now trending in the UK too!

That is one of the Apple charts -- they are generally the same but the updates roll through at different times. So right now, this chart has The Lumineers at #10, the main si.te has it at #7. The chart you linked lags behind the main site.

Unfortunately, I do not see Trespassing on this chart

Exactly. It sucks that radio is so teen-oriented, but that's the way it is. Personally, I've never liked teenager music. When I was a teen, I listened to heavy metal, hard rock and classic rock. And I couldn't listen to the radio because they never played what I liked. They played what everyone else liked. It's that "everyone else" who Adam has to target right now, I think.

Let's make "normal" teens fall in love with Adam's music first. That's the key to radio, IMHO. Adam's music isn't teen Pop at all... but it can totally reach them, as we saw last night. It could reach every demographic, actually.

So this is just my opinion - no tomatoes please!

My inclination is to stay in reality. The reality is that Trespassing is the single and it is a wonderful single. It got less play on PLL and it was not as relevant a song as Cuckoo given the milieu of the party scene. Perhaps that is one of the reasons it didn't catch on immediately. Personally, I feel uncomfortable wagging fingers that Cuckoo was not chosen. They were so close even in our Glambert poll. I feel it is good to rejoice that Cuckoo helped turned kids on to Adam and support Trespassing with all our hearts. Adam loves it. I suspect he was the driving force behind the choice. I speculate that if he thought there might be only one single, it should be the title track and his anthem.
