Concerning Adam's 2nd album, I don't have really high expectations..at least I don't think. Hope that he'll be able to do at least 500k-700k, or 700-1mil in album sales, and spawn 2 hit songs between the success of IIHY and WWFM, meaning Top 15-20 on CHR hit (not really knowing about billboard), and 1mil in sales of each hit song. And maybe open between 50-100k in album sales. Hope none of that sounds to ambitious. I know it all depends on the material, but that's at least my hope for him. If Adam achieves this in the US it will be a big win. I think all is realistic -- but I think the opening week will be >100K. That said it is impossible to forecast sales without hearing the music and seeing the opening price points. Even with info, forecasting this fickle market is hard -- really hard. For example, why is Gaga selling better in the UK vs. the US relative to the market size? Promo in the US was much bigger but this is were trends and taste come into play. She appears to be topped out in the US but still growing her fanbase in the UK. ETA: This magic spell may be working!!!

Thanks kittykay! SusieFierce saw the contest and she urged me to send them some pictures and then kittykay came along and they both told me I could win, but I'm too shy for these things , but I decided to tweet them. And I won a shoutout from them and a retweet! ;D And then we had so much fun on twitter along with needacoke and aloha and SusieFierce and kittykay! They told me I should be an Adult Adam's official photographer! Congrats gelly14! ;D ;D

I'm not young and I've never heard of him either Maybe because he is Canadian?? :-/ :-/ Canada produces a lot of great musicians but they often have to move to the US to get major recognition...and then lots of peeps assume they are American!! the Canadian Curse.... Leonard Cohen kdlang Celine Dion Sarah McLaughlin Rufus Wainwright Gordon Lightfoot Michael Buble Guess Who Arcade Fire Paul Anka Bryan Adams The Band [bob dylons] Bare Naked Ladies Justin Beiber ??? ??? : Paul Brandt Holly Cole Percy Faith David Foster Diana Krall Avril Lavigne Joni Mitchell Alanis Morissette Ann Murray Oscar Peterson Sorry to spam so many names but we are a small country, population wise...but put out great musicians and writers!! My late Canada Day celebration!! :-/ And my favorite Canadian Group Tragically Hip who I believe are highly underrated - don't understand how the Barenaked Ladies could be better known than they are ??? : :-/

My "Rain" contribution. No Rain by Blind Melon (Better known as The Bee Girl song). The daughter of the lead singer is friends with my daughter. LOVE that song too! For a person who hates that she lives in a climate where it pours 6 months of the year, I sure love me some rain songs 8-)
