1.11.13 Adam LiteNews and Info

I find it very interesting the list of cities and venue seating capacity for the few concerts Adam is doing in Europe in March. The only city where he also toured during GNT was Finland. It was his largest European GNT concert, sold out at 3,000, followed by London at 2,000. Everything else was between 550-1500. See:

So this time Finland sold out 13,000 seats in minutes! Well, that could be expected given that Finland now considers Adam to be their favorite son-in-law. But then we have 4 cities where he did not tour GNT:

Minsk, Belarus, TBD
Moscow, Russia , 6,500
Kiev, Ukraine , 10,000
St. Petersburg, Russia, 12,000

Queenbert performed in Moscow and Kiev. Minsk is half way between Moscow and Wroclaw where Queenbert also performed. St. Petersburg is between Moscow and Helsinki. It could be that Adam's performance at the Maxidrom Festival in Moscow during May 2011 accounts for part of this. But I can't help but believe that these 4 concerts, way larger than anything he did in Europe for GNT, is part of the Queenbert effect.

So, I wonder if Adam got his 3rd album ready for a late Nov release, and Queenbert did a hand-full of US concerts in November, maybe this would really help Adam sell his 3rd album in the US.

I think when people think "Queen tour" some are thinking about somthing that is too big. I would exepct less than 10 cities, possibly only 6-8 major cities around the world. The beautiful thing about a Queen tour, for Adam, is that he is not in charge of pretty much anything. I would imagine that except for the vocal acrobatics, a small Queen tour would be pretty easy on his brain, with no stress. Might be pretty easy to work on new music at the same time.

I would have to say that two radio stations in SF, Alice and Star, gave at least 1-2 of his singles a chance. Alice was a big supporter, playing BTIKM and NCOE several times a day. They just never played TP, and that was disappointing. Star also played one or both of those singles and is the station occasionally playing Cuckoo (just heard it last night). Problem is that you still need 10 million AI to affect sales and just those two stations weren't enough.

I'm still ticked off that in the last era, several radio stations (Cumulus) did not add WWFM after it peaked. I think it could have been a much bigger hit on CHR. Then maybe that would have set up IIHY to be played more and it could have achieved platinum. With two hits under his belt, maybe radio stations might have been more willing to play him this era. I still think some radio stations do have a problem with him. My local one only played WWFM and not on really high rotation, and rarely played BTIKM even though they added it and Adam visited their station.

Missing 4Msrmyn. Hope everything it okay! We miss you.
