Seems Spotify finally updated. (I can't seem to find any numbers on their site...don't know where to look ..lol) Gelly @14gelly 6m6 minutes ago Gelly retweeted Marina YES! 11.973.198  Pretty sure that is worldwide and cumulative! So, what is it's significance? Is it good, bad... important or not so important? I have no clue. I saw some talk about H Duff not having all that much higher totals...which I assume is a good thing. |

But Hilary has good track sales, close to Adam's, but behind by about 5K. |

Adam Lambert DIDN’T win American Idol season eight. WHAT! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? What’s wrong with this picture? A lot was wrong with it, but despite the loss, Adam has scored a gold album, and a historical number one album among other accolades. The Original High is the prodigious pop musician’s third proper album, and there’s plenty to sink one’s teeth into – some dance, some balladry, a killer duet, and more! “Ghost Town” commences The Original High in danceable fashion, giving Lambert a catchy, modern sounding record. Compared to previous album openers, “Ghost Town” is a bit of a ‘cooler’ track, but still percolates by all means. Things are piping hot when Lambert asserts he “don’t give a f**k if I go / down, down, down / I got a voice in my head that keeps singing.” Title track and follow up “The Original High” maintains momentum, as Lambert likens love to getting high: “Just let me feel the rush like the first night…gotta feel the touch like the first time.” “Ghost Town” commences The Original High in danceable fashion, giving Lambert a catchy, modern sounding record.

Lambert shows incredible poise on the verses while he “lets it rip” on the chorus as he “won’t apologize to you you anymore / cuz I’m a grown-a** man…I’m sick and tired of livin’ in your shadow.” “Rumors” featuring Tove Lo is ‘fire’ from the first listen – this is how you do a pop duet. Once more eschewing the dance floor, “Rumors” is a can't-miss, urban-infused pop juggernaut. Lambert’s vocals soar to incredible heights to say the least – and that Tove Lo isn’t too shabby herself! “Evil In the Night” marks the return of Lambert to the dance floor and despite the evil, it’s compelling evilness at least. Lambert is filled with vigor and grit from the start. On “Lucy” guitarist Brian May comes along for the rocking pop ride, once more finding Lambert ditching those dance shoes. If he “said it” before, on “Things I Didn’t Say” – well you get the point. Is it an intended answer to the previous track? No, it’s always interesting when an artist has negating songs/song titles on an album. The “rug is cut” (get it?) once more on penultimate joint “The Light” which feature superb production work by German producer Lulou. There is definitely a heavy European House influence at work, contrasting it from other dance records. “Heavy Fire” concludes the standard edition heavily as its title suggest, though those splurging may opt for the deluxe version which adds “After Hours,” “Shame,” and “These Boys.” “These Boys” is the crème de la crème of the deluxe. Ultimately, The Original High is pretty addictive and well conceived. There’s a nice balance of dance, rockers, and urban-infused pop records that all suit Lambert well. No it’s not the “second coming,” but it is a very strong pop album by an insanely gifted artist. Favorites: “Ghost Town,” “The Original High,” “Underground,” “There I Said It,” and “Rumors” featuring Tove Lo ★★★★ Adam Lambert • The Original High • Warner Bros • US Release Date: June 16, 2015 |

Good grief!! You have Adam Lambert for an interview and you ask him about cereal and milk? I won't describe the body part that some of these interviews have their heads in. |

I saw some talk about H Duff not having all that much higher totals...which I assume is a good thing. The Spotify streaming numbers are for the whole world and since the song was released. Spotify is also just a part of US Audio streaming. 13 different audio streams count for the US Billboard 200 -- but only streams during the past week. Hilary Duff has 13.7 million Sportify streams for her single, probably a larger portion of that is in the US vs Adam. Assuming and artist had 4 million qualified audio streams the past week and that 40% of that is from the US -- that is 1.6 million stream which would equal about 1,000 SEAs or 1,000 albums for the Billboard 200. That is why it matters. |

I listened to that interview and thought...Man what a wasted opportunity for this dude to have a little time with Adam.  |

Hilary, Nate, and even James do not have Adam's streaming numbers. But Hilary has good track sales, close to Adam's, but behind by about 5K. At least on Spotify, Hilary is ahead of Adam and had more streams last week but not enough to make a big difference. Adam "Ghost Town" -- Spotify worldwide = 11,973,198 Released April 21, 2015 Hilary "Sparks" - Spotify worldwide = 13,761,039 Released April 7, 2015 Nate Ruess was also close to even with Adam on Spotify last week. James Taylor does not have big streaming numbers on Spotify or anywhere else, but he has a lot of traditional album sales. ETA: I cannot find anywhere where Spotify discloses percent of streaming total that is from the US but based on iTunes numbers, Adam has the highest percentage of international fans, and I think the highest percentage of non-US Spotify streams of these 4 artists. |

Do you know just for the week? |
