Now I realize why I don't hear a moo. I am an Iowa girl, literally grew up playing and sledding in a cow field, have met many cows, some walking down a street, someone forgot to shut a gate! I have heard many a cow and have talked many a moo cow. As a very experienced cow person, I clearly know moo talk. That was a fun listen. It is indeed not that deep.

Ahh, that makes sense, thanks so much, Geezlouise, for clarifying that. Maybe a lot of fans were wiser (and playing closer attention) than I was and pre-ordered on non-iTunes platforms, saving iTunes for release week. But at least, even if we pre-ordered on iTunes, we're still good for Billboard purposes. It'll be interesting to see how well TOH does "naturally," so to speak, on iTunes. A real test of what Adam's increased radio exposure has done for him (plus Fallon, GMA, and other goodies yet to come). ETA: and thanks so much, Rihannsu, too. That's all much clearer to me now. Heh heh I'm embarrassed to admit that my fuzzy memory of the pre-order change in rules was making me feel a little guilty and anxious, but seems all's well! Does the idea of canceling the iTunes pre-order now and ordering it again next week make sense? (I assume there is a way to cancel on iTunes...) Totally unnecessary. The pre order you have made will count for the billboard sales charts which is ultimately the most important thing. I think seeing a bunch of pre-orders being cancelled would be more of a freak out than having the album climb a little more slowly on the charts. Shoshanna has told people several times that there is no reason not to pre-order the album and Adam's team have been pushing pre-orders so given they are well aware of how the charts work they obviously don't consider it a problem.

Q3 wrote: Here is what Billboard measures for the Billboard 200 (US Album Chart): "For sales and streaming, we use a Monday-to-Sunday cycle. The reports we get for sales and streaming cut off end-of-day on Sunday." So for "The Original High" album the streaming clock starts at 12:00AM Monday and ends at 11:59:99PM Sunday US Eastern Time (New York). ***** Do you know if the entire album will be available on Spotify at 12:00 a.m. Monday, or if we should just make a playlist of all the individual songs from the album that are available at the time? And we can stream the Amazon album until they turn it off. Are there any "projections" for TOH, or for NR's album? Or Hillary Duff, since she was mentioned today. All the projections are internal now. We will get the first hints at the end of the week. Forecast on Tuesday based on the early sales numbers. Hillary Duff is not a threat. Nate Ruess will be a threat -- but I think Adam will beat him. >> Just looking at Amazon and iTunes which is about 20% of US album sales..... Nate just started his presale -- #53 on iTunes, #119 on Amazon CD ($9.99), #129 Digital Paid in Albums ($7.99). A challenge could also come from James Taylor "Before This World " Release Date: June 15, 2015 -- currently #69 on iTunes US and #10 on Amazon CD; #156 Digital Paid in Albums. TOH is #161 on iTunes and #20 on Amazon. *** Right now on iTunes Adam is the #68 selling artist in the world and TOH is the #97 selling album. On Amazon CD TOH Deluxe is #20 (13.99), #85 Digital Paid in Albums. (Adam has 4 other TOH albums on Amazon.) *** The other two to watch are Taylor Swift "1989" and the new Mumford and Sons album which will be in week 3. MUSE's album will probably be below 30K next week so it is not a concern for Adam. They will get their #1 album then drop. Also, didn't you point out a couple of weeks ago that Nate had already done his big US TV promo spots and was off to work the rest of the world. Adam has most of his US TV promo still to come which will hopefully reinforce any edge he might have. I may have mis-remembered what you said of course but I hope not

Well I was going to wait till the day the album comes out to order some more copies because I thought it was discussed here that it might be a good idea to buy it on the day of it's release to boost the sales numbers. But I know nuttin'!lol Am I totally wrong about this?!

DO NOT PLAY THESE PIRATE STREAMS. ADAM DOES NOT GET PAID FOR THEM!!! People can argue over if Spotify pays enough but at least they pay the label and the artist. With the caveat that you can play them once or twice if you HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO STEAM THE WHOLE ALBUM OFF AMAZON BECAUSE IT WON'T WORK ON YOUR PHONE!!!!! So thank you so much for the individual links, I haven't been able to hear any of these except the bonus tracks yet.

Is there a list of all the digital retailers? I posted a list of the 20 biggest US digital retailers about 6 weeks ago. I will find it and repost it.

The only thing that would be worth doing specifically on day of release would be gifting on itunes but you would have to know the people would download immediately because a gift sales doesn't count until it is downloaded. For sales numbers on billboard anything purchased during the first week will be the important thing. The overall sales & streaming for the week is the most important thing.
