Anyone else having problems getting the Amazon TOH stream to work? I have tried in Firefox & Chrome browsers on an Android phone and in the Silk browser on a wifi connected Amazon Kindle Fire HDX table. I press the green arrow and nothing happens.

Yes! I'm curious about this whole concept of releasing the full album before it's official release.. can't it just be downloaded for free then, cutting into sales? Can anyone who knows the biz explain how this works? I have absolutely no knowledge, lol, but I'm going to take a stab at this anyway with my own, uneducated speculation. My thoughts are that people who like buying music will buy this regardless of having heard it via stream. People who don't like to buy music aren't going to buy it anyway. Streaming adds towards sales, ultimately, and I know that my having listened beforehand only makes me more excited to click the I-tunes "Buy" button on release day! ETA: There are many people who would not buy an unheard album, and, in Adam's case, since he's just breaking back into the pop world after a lengthy hiatus and who has really changed his sound in that interim, there are many people who wouldn't shell out to give his new music a chance. I'm glad more people get this chance to hear the results of his amazing evolution! Hmm sounds pretty reasonable the way you've laid it out. Thanks!  |

My understanding is that you can only stream on you computer. |

Dancy.....everyone says it won't stream on any mobile device....phones or Ipads, etc. You have to DL a app called "Puffin" to be able to play it on your phone.

Also, the free stream is limited to one week and will then stop. Non-buyers will continue with YT, spotify, etc. Having heard the song, they might then add it to a playlist. But buyers gonna buy. Like me. |

billboard @billboard 12m12 minutes ago Our summer music preview: 25 albums we can’t wait to hear blbrd.cm/oJZwbO Adam Lambert, The Original High (June 16) After splitting with RCA Records following the release of 2012’s underrated Trespassing LP, Lambert has (somewhat) reinvented himself on The Original High, moving from disco-funk to sleeker, darker pop music. Brian May, who Lambert performed with as the leader of Queen in the album interim, guests on the standout track “Lucy.” |
