17 adds? Adam never got that many, has he? Why does it seem like radio is playing every but Adam? I checked the pop radio chart - there are UK artists that don't seem pop, e.g. Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sande, or UK reality contestants, like Olly Murs. Mumford and Sons? Are they pop? Even Adam's friend Anna Kendrick, who is an actress, has a top 40 pop hit, and Emblem3 soon will. People say he is not being blacklisted but I dunno about that...Either that or someone is not doing their job. :( It's conservative radio..pleasing their sponsors...IMHO if Adam wasn't gay,he would be at the top of the charts.. His music is great,better than most of what's on radio.I also think that he needs a big push by RCA.. They have the money and the power. It was not easy getting Adam on Radio with his first album.. I believe someone ran interference for him.. That someone left being the head of RCA to go to another label. Please don't yell at me.. this is what I believe right or wrong.To add to what I said.. there are some fine out and proud gay artists do you hear them on popular American radio stations? Adam is the first out singer to be picked up by a major record co.Does this give us a hint... POP music/radio is kind of like the sports field...Adam is trying to break through that glass ceiling .To me he is still the Jackie Robinson of the pop music. www.therealstevegray.com/2011/12/christians-for-a-moral-america-call-for-boycott-of-adam-lambert/... Not a powerful group.. but there is bigotry out there.Just as we're pushing for Adam others are pushing against him. If he comes out with a song that can't be denied, gets on VH1 again,etc. & if RCA pushes radio, I think radio will have to play him.Here's hoping In the meantime Adam is doing great .. getting awards,making inroads with the very important gay community,getting lots of press, touring through Asia,South Africa,etc.selling out concerts,being on Idol finale& singing at the Life Ball in Vienna ... not so bad and this without much radio play. IMHO,If we can break down the radio barriers .. there will be no limits to how far Adam's career will soar.

Well said milliemom. I think he has two strikes against as far as radio goes namely being an AI alum and being gay. I wonder if the overall culture of cooperate owned radio comes from the top? If it does, it isn't surprising that Adam is having trouble with airplay when Bain Capital is a main stock holder in clear channel. Good thing he is so extremely talented tnat he is building a solid and interesting career without much US radio support. Speaking of radio, I ran into this interesting item as I was researching for artist's income percentage from streaming services. I had no idea that most countries pay for radio play: It's worth noting, however, that the US is one of less than a handful of countries – including North Korea, Congo and China – where artists don't get paid for airplay. So perhaps a more reasonable way of creating a level playing field would be to demand American terrestrial radio corporations fall into line with almost every other country in the world by paying artists when they use their music. Here is the link. It was an interesting article and depressing because they don't get much from youtube hits etc. This is from UK so maybe different, better in US. www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/oct/10/music-streaming-songwriters-youtube-pandora

I guess it got as high as #54 last night. I don't know why that screen cap won't post for me. You can copy & paste the URL to get it.

I haven't been here in forever! I guess the 1 min video on AI and the subsequent climb on iTunes brought some of us back here ready to flail! So - I won't get into the meme of "see what a little promo can do" but..... see what a little promo can do! Question - Can anyone explain why Jessica Sanchez got 17 adds with such low sales?

Not to shabby a bump as Trespassing Deluxe was still up there at #62 when I checked just after 7pm. Interesting to see also that both the album that shall not be named has appeared at #1172 on the pop chart and the IIHY remix EP peeked in at #1497. As usual I'll post my daily recap later tonight and will try to keep posting through next week's aftermath.

Her label is Interscope and they have an awesome radio team!
