Looks like YouTube Ghost Town video is stuck again... It is not stuck, it is FROZEN because fans are spamming it. IF ANYONE HERE IS SPAMMING -- AND BY THAT I MEAN PLAYING GHOST TOWN MUSIC VIDEO ON REPEAT, ON A PLAYLIST WITH A LOT OF REPEATS IN IT, OR ANY OTHER BOGUS KIND OF PLAYING THE ROBS ADVERTISERS OF THEIR EYEBALLS, PLEASE STOP NOW. Clearly, YouTube/Google is not stupid.

But they have server problems all the time. >> However, does not look like it from their online servers status reports. >> I just checked the two independent services that monitor YouTube and they report no issues. Do you know what the "Server Issue" conclusion is based on?

Do you know what the "Server Issue" conclusion is based on? I was the one referring to the servers because I checked out a non Adam song today, but that one is updating now. I just find it weird that ALL of Adam's songs in his playlist of TOH are stuck and the Ellen performance is stuck as well. It's not only the music video. The remixes and the lyric video are stuck as well.

They just pointed me to the frozen video response. Could be they are lying to me, could be they put all of the Adam Lambert videos under review. Companies pay for those ads, and they really do work to take out of the spam views. In my day job, since I buy YT ads, I want them to chuck out the crap. In any case, we all know that there are probably some "low quality" plays in the Adam videos. ETA: It does not show up as a problem on the Google service forum either -- if it was widespread, I would expect someone else to notice.

So as disappointing as lack of radio play is here, GT is holding steady on itunes at somewhere between mid #60-#80 overall and in the mid #30's on Pop. TOH comes and goes- was recently back in at #122 overall but has now fallen out of top 200. Such a shame for a country that has really supported him since Idol, especially through FYE era. Really hoping things pick up though, or I doubt we'll see him here for the foreseeable future. And as NZ is so far away from anywhere other than Aussie, it is worrying for us kiwi fans. But...... early days I guess...... Don't be discouraged. It appears that Adam and his team have one and only one focus right now -- get "Ghost Town" on US Pop Radio. With Z100 stating to play GT and KIIS playing very regularly, it is looking good here. They will apparently pivot to the big three markets in Europe in June (UK, France and Germany). But they have pretty much been ignoring NZ, Canada and AU. So you have company. >> The are doing this in a very normal way for a US artist -- focus on US radio first. >> The goal appears to be to sell albums. Not to get radio airplay. At least that is my take. I cannot completely explain why they had Adam do interviews in NZ and AU, but are not really focusing any promo effort on these markets. But they are not. I feel bad for Canada, he's not even doing interviews in Canada. Thanks Q3! I guess we just hoped/expected more - especially after radio was so quick to play it the day after release here.... Will try not to angst too much and just sit back and enjoy what is happening on US radio! (which is bluddy brilliant!!!!)
