Playing the YT video if you are in the US is fine. Playing an audio stream that Billboard uses for both the Album and Singles chart is much better. If you are in the US -- Spotify, Rdio, Google Play, Rhapsody, Beats all are free or have free trials and count for both the ALBUM and SINGLE. For example, one Spotify "Ghost Town" stream counts twice!! Please stream "Ghost Town" and "Ghost Town" Official Remixes. Also every Spotify stream counts. Not every YT play counts. Also streaming matters in the UK were you need to stream all the album tracks, not just "Ghost Town". Sorry I'm still on pg 1 if this has been answered, so is streaming only Ghost Town preferred to streaming the 5 available songs right now until the album drops? |

He did it again. Don't know why, but this little musical ability really impresses me. Adam is asked what he is currently listening to and he sings a little of it. Of course, I had never heard it before, so I looked it up on YT. Darned if Adam didn't sing the phrase in the SAME KEY as the original recording. Meaning he sings the same notes, the same pitches. A majority of folks, when asked to sing a bit of a song they have on their playlist, will have a hard time singing the melody accurately without any instruments to reference. They get the jumps between notes wrong and end up shifting keys, going flat or sharp. Some can't carry the tune even if they are singing along with the song! (As we can attest to after listening to audience videos of QAL.) Adam not only sings the melody accurately, with the correct distance between the notes, but he pitches the entire melody in the same place as the recorded track. His brain not only remembers the words and the melody, but remembers how high or low it started. I have been trying to think of something equivalent for an analogy. Holst, glampoon, can you help? It's a little akin to seeing a painting and days later being able to draw it accurately using the exact same shades of color to match the original. It is not something that can be taught. It is an innate sense for pitch, and Adam obviously has it. A rare ability to go with the rest of his rare abilities. youtu.be/Go8COffiJpY?t=1m58syoutu.be/oDlvdSMofUY?t=56s |

After a couple of listens to all the songs this is my TOH-list
After Hours: What a great Track, so smooth, great dark/driving lonely in the night feeling
The Original High: Anthem of this album. Like someone on this forum perfectly said: what Born this Way is forLady Gaga, this is the song for Adam.
Hope this will be a big hit and I get it why this song was the foundation of the album.
There I Said It: bring in the lighters at a concert. Adam was right: this is a BIG ballad, it has everything in it and love his voice on this track
Evil In The Night: Perfect concert song: sing your lungs out at this rocky song
Ghost Town: The perfect first single. Such a new sound, great lyrics and a perfect dancetrack.
Underground: great rhythm and I can’t stop dancing on this song. Same feeling as After Hours
These Boys: Summerfeeling (steel drums!), great at a poolparty. Love the feeling of the track, got to dance on this song..
Shame: The song played in clubs at after party’s: as a bonustrack I get a “only for the few”-kind of secret song (I don’t know if
I explain myself correctly, but as the previous bonustracks aren't played at concerts/radio etc, it kind of feels like only the Glamberts know these songs in and out)
Another Lonely Night: at first listens it was “another popsong” but after more listens it grows on me. (and yeah…it is a Moo)
Rumours: I could hear this at radio’s being played, good song and great collaboration between Adam en Tove Lo
Lucy: Everytime I hear the Red Special I am so happy for Adam that Brian did his thing on this song.
Things I Didn’t Say: brilliant lyric: I thought that I said it In the things that I didn't say. Good Popsong
Heavy Fire: steamy song, will do great at concerts
The Light: the only song that doesn’t stick in my head, if you ask me now to sing it out loud, I don’t know. I think it has to grow on me.

Ghost Town has also been doing well in my country. It's #6 on the most popular local Top 40 radio station, and it's been on the Top 20 chart for 5 weeks. Also #14 album on iTunes! www.meradio.sg/musicportal/music_chartsThat's GREAT!!!!!  |

QIf you are in the US stream Ghost Town and the GT remixes all week. If you are in the UK, stream the whole album. If you are in Canada, relax and get ready to buy. |

I have been trying to think of something equivalent for an analogy. Holst, glampoon, can you help?

It is an innate sense for pitch, and Adam obviously has it. A rare ability to go with the rest of his rare abilities. Isn't that what's called perfect pitch? Or that's something different? Maybe this is "pitch memory", like you have "muscle memory" (but muscle memory is something you develop through constant practice, so maybe not the best analogy).... |

Sorry I'm still on pg 1 if this has been answered, so is streaming only Ghost Town preferred to streaming the 5 available songs right now until the album drops? When the album drops tomorrow, shouldn't we also stream the entire album? Or are you saying to stay focussed on streaming only GT? Sorry I'm still confused.. thanks for your patience Q3! |
