Update on Lmd in Oz and Nz. Unfortunatley it hs flopped really bad in Oz. Slipped off the Take 40 Chart, rapidly fading off Itunes Charts. In NZ it has hardly gotten any spins, early days in NZ but doesent look good, doesent help ATY is still in heavy rotation in NZ. I also feel EDM is fading, and Alt music is returning, Pop music is a lot more popular then Dance/Edm. Great he gt some radio presence, but Lmd wont be the big hit unfortunatley, if it doesent do well internationally cant see it being released in the States. Hopefully A3 produces a few hits. I think that "flopped really bad in Oz" is a mis-characterization. They have a new Avicii album coming this Fall, they just want to keep some radio presence to keep TRUE sales moving and to maintain awareness of Avicii. LMD is the 5th single from TRUE. After 4 high-selling iTunes singles, many people have completed the album and have nothing left to buy. LMD is still on the Top 100 in Australia -- and has been for 4 weeks. Lay Me Down #97 Australia #101 France In Australia ATY #72 Australia (still on the radio in AU) HB #86 Australia (still on the radio in AU) LMD #97 Australia (current single in AU) WMU #127 Australia Levels #370 Australia (not from TRUE) LMD is still getting airplay -- and moving very slowly. It was released to maintain radio presence for AVICII. They will work to keep it on air, but not too hot. The whole radio strategy for a mature album is to maintain presence until the next album. TW #26 LW 28 on the AU radio airplay chart. www.radioinfo.com.au/knowledge/chart** And there is no sign that EDM is dead in Australia or Europe. NZ, US and Canada are quite different and are actually the most EDM-free markets in the world. ** Regarding Adam and the other comments in this thread about LMD not mattering -- I think it does matter, but mostly from a PR and relationship standpoint. Unless LMD blew up into a monster hit which was close to impossible since it was never a high-selling individual track on TRUE, it will have no effect on him one way or another except as a PR vehicle for Adam, Nile and Avicii -- and for some royalties. Adam is not working on a neo-disco album. He is clearly working on some form of mainstream pop-rock album since he is working with Max Martin. A3's fate will depend on the music branded as "Adam Lambert" music. So while I do not believe LMD has much to do with Adam, it was nice to have him do something while he was on the between label hiatus. |

Aloe agree with you, I would have no idea who Aloe Blac is and he is/was everywhere - radio, TV shows, and new album (which I would also not know about if he was not covered by media more now) Maybe I don't watch the right shows or listen to the right radio station because I never hear anyone discussing Aloe Black outside the context of WMU and even then it's secondary to Avicii. That said, Adam isn't an unknown the way Aloe Black was when WMU came out. He doesn't necessarily need the boost of a collaboration the way someone like Aloe Black would have. Adam has already had two pretty successful hits on radio in his own right. Now if Adam got a collaboration with someone likwithe David Guetta? that would be major. He credits the vocalists on his songs and gives them full respect for what they bring to the table. Aloe Blacc was essentially an unknown singer with two indie albums before WMU. He was signed to UMG, released his major label debut album (#4 on BB200, #5 UK), got a Top 10 single (#8 BB Hot 100). Avicii is substantially bigger than David Guetta. He is the biggest EDM artist ever, he was #1 selling worldwide on iTunes for 5 of the past 12 months, he is currently (at this moment) the #5 selling artist in the world on iTunes -- and that is with a mature album. David Guetta is not shabby but he is #21 selling right now and have never been sustained at #1. *** LMD would do no better or worse with Adam credited on it. And Adam would be no more famous with a formal vocalist credit for LMD. He is a bit richer for the songwriting credit. Finally, LMD is not WMU. WMU is one of these songs that happens once in a million songs. It is a classic, it will be played for years to come. LMD is a neo-disco track that is not (sorry) either a great pop radio track nor a great dance club track. (Please do not through rocks at me for posting this.) It was a last minute addition to a high selling album. Adam put in a couple hours work and gets a piece of every sale of TRUE. Seriously, he was lucky. In addition, it seems possible that Adam and Avicii will do more together. Adam will not get the vocalist credit (which is not but = no royalties) but he will get the songwriter credit. I bet he prefers the later. |

Quoting this from the end of last night's thread because i don't recall getting a date for the iHeart Showcase. Is Flowers guessing or did I miss something? Always figured that show would be around their California Queen shows, possible June 30th or July 2nd. I am probably the only person here who knows nothing about iHeart Showcase....When and where is it held? I googled and came up with nothing useful... also, why is it being mentioned? Is there an expectation of QAL performing there? |

David Guetta is not shabby but he is #21 selling right now and have never been sustained at #1. *** David Guetta's chart history:
13 Billboard Hot 100 hits - 3 in the top 10 - peaked twice at #4 (without you f/ usher and turn me on f/ nicki minaj)
#5 on the BB200 chart
15 top 20 dance songs - 6 of them #1
10 top 40 hits - #1 without you f/usher
Avicii chart history:
4 Hot 100 hits - peak #4 Wake Me up
#5 on the BB200 chart
6 top 20 dance songs - 3 of them #1
3 top 40 hits - #1 wake me up
so, "substaintially" bigger than David Guetta seems to be an exaggeration (at least concerning U.S. market). David Guetta has longevity whereas Avicii is the "hot" new EDM artist of the moment so he's selling well. |
