Monte also confirmed that Cam will be on keys for the Russia show. So that means that Adam's entire band will be in Moscow. Unfortunately, the GNT dancers will not be at the show.
finney4 Finn Berry: @monterrific Is Cam going to be joining you for the Moscow show?
Monterrific Monte Pittman: @finney4 YES! She's still on tour right now though. Has a few dates left.
SabraJo sabrajo: @monterrific Monte, is Camilla not able to play? Busy with UHH? She'll be missed. (hubby's available) ;-)
Monterrific Monte Pittman: @sabrajo Cam will be playing keys!
In related news, they are rehearsing the FYE songs so this performances is very likely to be material from the GNT tour without the dancers or staging. I wonder if Adam will bring lasers?
Great Numbers
5.19.11 by Q3
I normally leave the numbers to our great numbers thread. But RCA Ed posted some new numbers and they are newsworthy -- at least to Adam fans.
--- FYE sold 906 units in the U.S. in the week ending 5.15.11 bringing RTD U.S. sales to 814,548. That is almost 1,000 units with no promotion, no performances, no significant radio airplay. There is no doubt that this album will go platinum at some point down the road. Usually, sales of a debut album go up when a second album is released.
--- And to add some more good numbers news, GLAM NATION Live DVD is tracking to be gold by early Fall -- probably early October.
Here is RCA Ed post of sales from May 18, 2011. These are US sales only through May 15, 2011.
The GNL DVD shifted 1,691 units in the U.S. this week and charted at #2 in the Soundscan Music DVD chart, bringing release-to-date U.S. sales to 32,698.
The FYE CD moved 906 units in the U.S. TW, bringing RTD U.S. sales to 814,548.
7,169 FYE track downloads were sold TW in the U.S., which brings their collective RTD sales to 3,238,649.
The AL EP sold 57 units U.S. TW, giving it 26,964 total units to date.
520 EP tracks were downloaded TW in the U.S., bringing that RTD total to 26,964.
The Remixes EP has shifted 6,969 units (a.k.a song bundles) and 34,147 individual tunes to date (discounting redundant "WWFM" album version scans).
The "IIHY" Remix EP has moved 2,771 bundles and 19,360 individual downloads, collectively, to date.
The "Aftermath" Remix had 35 downloads TW for a release-to-date cume of 6,105.
And the unsanctioned Take One CD is sadly about to cross the 100k mark - shame, shame.

With US Retail sales of 814,514, FYE Album is almost certain to be certified Platinum in the US – eventually.
RCA Ed: Platinum certifications are handed out by country, not for worldwide sales, so FYE is subject to the official award thresholds of each country its released in to earn those qualifications. However, those thresholds are usually met by numbers of albums shipped, not sold, so FYE will be eligible for Platinum certification in the U.S., for example, some time before Soundscan numbers breach the 1MM mark.
The GLAM NATION Live DVD continues to sell steadily. Last week it sold 1,691 units making it the #2 music DVD is the US. Total sales are 32,698 – RIAA Gold required 50,000 units sold in the US.
