I think Ghost Town is a hit! Not a "smash" hit, but a hit. Didn't someone say a while back that you could consider top 30 a hit, top 20 a big hit, and top 10 a smash? Arbitrary, but makes sense. I've sure heard GT on the radio more than I've ever heard an Adam song on the radio, including WWFM, but then again this is Seattle-Victoria-Vancouver radio I'm talking about, lol. TOH as next single followed by ALN. I really would like to see TISI as a radio single but doubt that will happen. To me it is almost a response to WWFM. Agree with you about the Seattle-Victoria-Vancouver radio market. I was still hearing them play WWFM during the entire Trespassing era and nothing from the Trespassing album. Have heard GT several times on the radio but only a few stations play it. Have politely texted and called a couple stations requesting GT but have not had much in the way of results. To me, the Seattle/Tacoma metro area is a ghost town for Adam. Without radio play the chances of tour dates being scheduled in the area is small. I would think Vancouver has a better chance than Seattle. Portland is playing his music as is Spokane and Boise area so who knows. Anything within a couple hundred miles would be nice. |

My country is the tiniest little market, but it pays attention to UK radio. Whatever they play - we play, and that's why GT isn't getting any spins here. Nobody here knows this song even exists, except for fans. I don't know, but I guess we aren't the one and only country in the world that takes after the UK. Aren't there a few others?
Beside, the list here shows that the UK is the fourth biggest music market in the world. That's huge! Why would we not care about such big market?

idolator @idolator 9m9 minutes ago In defense of @adamlambert's #GhostTown, 2015's most under-appreciated pop single #Glamberts: idola.to/1MmfuH9Adam Lambert’s “Ghost Town” Voted Summer 2015’s Best Sleeper Hit By Idolator ReadersRobbie Daw @chartrigger / August 13, 2015  We knew Adam Lambert’s glorious pop-rock/house hybrid “Ghost Town” was the very definition of smash upon first listen back in April. And given that, plus the song’s confounding (and frustrating) lack of mainstream airplay, the lead single off The Original High was a no-brainer for inclusion in our Ibrawlator poll on the Best Sleeper Hit Of Summer 2015. Another thing we were also aware of going into this latest bout of letting readers demonstrate their democratic right: The power the Glamberts. Of course, we had no idea if that might was a match for the Beliebers, Lovatics, Harmonizers and, um, whatever Calvin Harris and The Weeknd’s fans are called. But lo and behold, between Adam’s core fanbase and Idolator readers who simply dig “Ghost Town,” the song won our poll by a landslide after racking up 15,554 votes — 64% of all the clicks, when all was said and done.  more.. |

It's not the hit that make people sick because of amount of airplay from EVERYWHERE))) For me it's the kind of song that appears relatively rarely comparing to, say, "Love Me Like You Do" or "See You Again", but when it does it's like holiday in the car (room, club, cafe, restaurant) and people listen to it even when it's gone from radio and TV, because it's always insufficient. ok, idk how to explain, what I wanna say here..whatever)) I'm sure if TOH will be the next single, it will smash tho...and smash hard) |

Yesterday I went to a Queen Extravaganza show. I enjoyed it a lot, they surprised me with how good they were. Especially the drummer Tyler Warren and bass player Francois-Olivier Doyon (he's a cute guy too  ). They did Dragon Attack, drummer on vocals, and nailed it! I missed Adam. A lot. And I missed Brian. But I had a good time anyway. Funny thing is that a lot of the conversation after the show was about the Ziggo Dome concert. And other QAL shows that people had been to or wanted to go to. Universal feeling: Adam is really good. And a great fit for Queen. And unanimously by the ladies: very nice to look at. Quote (from a die-hard Queen fan): "... but yeah, of course every woman falls for Adam." Another quote "... I was really sceptic, but he convinced me within 30 seconds."  |

And what you thought about the singer? Mark Martel, his name right...? was he good? I know he has a hell of a voice, but in overall...style, showmanship?)) Lots of diehard Queen fans, especially here in Russia, prefer him to Adam, which I think is...well, not very smart)) |

Betty, augenpoesie, franki13, and 4EverAdam, thank you for birthday wishes!! Today I was in local mall (in Hyvinkää). When I stepped in HM, there was playing TOH!!!  I don't know if it was playing on the radio or was it on their own playlist, anyway I was standing three minutes staring at kids shirts (without seeing anything), listening every word and note. |

I hope TOH will be the next single. I think the beat will really catch on; it's infectious! It is really infectious!!! I love ALN too! My #1 choice is "Another Lonely Night"!!! IMO, that song has the best chance to be a radio hit which is the most important thing to consider in choosing a single to release. |
