I think it's probably that it's being featured on the front page of the app under Hot Tracks (#7). I gather from twitter that it got there the morning of the Apple event and it hasn't moved out. From what I've been able to deduce, it's a curated list so human decision to put him on there. Front page equals sales. Yes, it was added to Hot Tracks on Friday morning. And yes, that is a curated list meaning the iTunes staff added it. I am sure it helped but that is not all that did it. GT has been on the radio for a while -- I think that the iTunes front page listing is activating the existing awareness for the song -- mostly from radio. But the pop bars are continuing to increase -- and that is unusual if it is based on the listing.

I guess you've missed my posts about this, about the same time as the Apple event GT was added to the Hot Tracks section on the main page of iTunes. Yes, I saw it and I also saw your post. And I started tracking 6 other listed songs. But these other tracks added to Hot Tracks on iTunes do not move up like GT did. Here are the first six and current US iTunes position: #156 Set Me Free #128 Hold Each Other #79 Disarm You (basically where it was before it was listed - pop bars are actually slightly down since it was listed) #125 Immortalized Not in top 200 - Too Bad, So Sad Not in top 200 - It Keeps On Raining That could be what did it but why did GT move and not the other songs. And this is a big, sustained move. Well I said in my other posts that I thought it was the combination of the AI being high enough on radio and being listed there and that would seem to hold true. Searching Kworbs overall AI list only one of those other songs is getting radio play and it is only at 5.9 AI in Urban. So I think getting listed there NOW when the AI on radio has just now passed 10 million Pop and 22 million overall and the familiarity has risen high enough is what is causing it. |

 Liz @elizabethbitch2 Jul 25 Hello @milestougeaux ! can you at least tell us why Adam often change the musicians in the band??

No I cannot explain it -- just observing that it started to make the move in the run-up to the Apple event. GT is now at #47 on iTunes -- and sales are still increasing. We will see what happens as the day goes on. GT was hanging in the high 80's and 90's mostly from the radio airplay. And the cumulative airplay for a song will increase familiarity making a purchase more likely. So it was primed to move. The song appeals to people who would never consider buying an "Adam Lambert" song -- most people need to hear it or hear about it before they buy it. ETA: Moved up to #46 while I was writing this post!  I guess you've missed my posts about this, about the same time as the Apple event GT was added to the Hot Tracks section on the main page of iTunes. Yes, I'm fairly sure that inclusion on the iTunes Hot Tracks page was the main driver for the bump. |

nic575, regarding this picture you posted as a favorite?   Total and complete agreement. Outstanding choice. And I agree, I think there was chemistry on all levels between Brad and Adam. Plus, I think that is the first love Adam refers to, and there is nothing like that original high. IMO, it can be different, even more intense in following relationships, but never with that newness of discovery of the feelings you are capable of, and the initial joy of feeling so enmeshed with a person, and the sweetness and the ache and even the pain. Just the realization of the depth of feeling you can have. Pretty wonderful. IMO.

Just happy to see Adam getting a bump on itunes no matter the reason.  Looked up Apple Beer Bash artists on utube and hardly anyone got more than one utube video but you can see lots and lots of people taking videos with their iphone. LOL Guess we were lucky to get two. |
