I have been checking wikipedia for a long time. Seems accurate to me, judging from Adam's numbers. I have no idea about anyone else. They have Adam at no 12 (US sales 808000 now, but I believe they will correct it in a couple of days.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Idol_alumni_album_sales

Every time I see this kind of harassment towards Adam's friends and family I feel VERY uncomfortable and very very sad. :(

I suspect that's not really an Adam fan as I can't see any of them, even the BSC ones, being that stupid to tweet baby Riff :

from Adamquotedaily Voting Links I've given the voting issue some thought and here is what I have arrived at. The only links I am going to promote are ones that have some benefit for Adam. Does the poll give him more fans, more sales, more exposure? We worked very hard at the Ultimate Idol poll and of course, Adam won. We know that Adam is the greatest Idol contestant ever. So, I do not see the point in taking part in any more Idol related polls. I think that Adam has moved well beyond that and the only thing most of them will do is create animosity among Glamberts and other fan groups. The Q102 poll was for us, not Adam. I asked the station if they would play some of the winner's music and they said that the poll was just for fun. Also notice that Adam did not tweet anything about this win. I think if we stick together as a group and refuse to take part in polls that aren't offering some benefit to the winner, we may cause some of the poll creators to think more in order to gain hits for themselves. In the future, if you ask me to promote a contest, I will ask you what is in it for Adam. If there is a benefit, I will vote and promote and do whatever I can to help. Each person, of course, can make there own decision about what they want to do in each case. I just do not want to waste any of my Adam time on things that are not important. Let me know your feelings by leaving a comment below. Thanks. adamquotedaily.blogspot.com/2011/05/key-to-my-heart.html?spref=twI like this idea

RCA Ed today:
On certification for WWFM:
"Guys, take it easy - if Adam cared about this or that single being certified, he'd ask and we'd make it so. Really, it's that simple."
"The only comment I'll add is that professionals in the music business at large don't really keep tabs on who gets certified for what, because the Soundscan and radio airplay data already tells us what we need to know without the need for a shiny plaque. Hey don't get me wrong! Plaques are nice - I have a few nice ones on my wall for services rendered, blah, blah, blah - but they're not the Vince Lombardi trophy - haha! At least not to business folk, and I for one don't like to glorify them, as though they belong to me instead of the artists behind them"
Someone asking for timeframe for Adams new single to be released:
"And I could GUESS at a release date for Adam's next single, but that's all it would be: a guess. And you know that if I even guess, I'll be held to it by some folks, and there's honestly no firm time-frame in place yet for Adam's next album. I could give you a few ideal or possible release targets, but all would be conjecture.
The man is working hard, though, and we're still working on preparing the in-studio footage you guys got wind of as soon as possible."
Whole "discussion" you can find over at AO.
He does not answer some - for me - interesting questions concerning radio play etc.

Lindy, I have been thinking the same thing myself (typing while IIHY for Much Music award is playing in the background). I don't want us getting voter fatigue before #2 comes out, plus I think Adam probably wants to get away from Idol bubble fan wars. Maybe Q3 could let us know what is worthwhile for our attention.

I'd really hope they aren't naive enough to fall for that type of stuff...
