WOW some fans sure know a lot about Adam's career ,I wish they knew alot about streaming, that would really be great .... i'm spending my time in the NOW and streaming,buying and supporting this new wonderful happy inspiring song..Can't abide by the glum and doom.. Infact I don't give Two Fux for any negativity raining on Adam's parade Mellie, remember, scroll is your friend. I understand you do not like what you consider negative posts but members are entitled to state their opinions. If you have something to refute their position feel free to jump in. Otherwise just scroll

iTunes is outdated. Streaming is key! iTunes wasn't even in Adam's universal link at first. It got added hours after release. And where does Daenerys get those numbers from? I know of no site who gives those numbers. I believe we are all in agreement that purchasing music is declining and that streaming is key, I have said that over and over as have others here. The ouch though is that sales on immediate release are at least somewhat of an indicator of the size, excitement, and involvement of the immediate fan base. This number, if accurate, is substantially smaller that I would have expected.

And it's an indication. Actual sales numbers are not available. Top seller has way more, but to get into top 30 he only needs 1500 more sales. It's not even out 24 hours yet. From the website: Since actual sales figures are no longer available, the following figures have been generated by a statistical model.

You can put your avi in your phone or computer photo storage site or even your desktop and upload it from there so you don't lose that at least. graciejane, thanks for your reminder that we can use pics from our computer storage! I can at least use this one of Dr Bri for the time being. I guess I'm gonna have to suck it up and accept that my 4,000 Adam pics and 4,000 gifs accumulated over 7-8 years are now GONE BABY GONE.

See, I don't think this is what happened at all. I think wbr gave Adam the choice of what he wanted to do (and that is a great luxury and I am grateful that he has that choice). The resulting conversation went something like this: you can either ask us to give you producers who write radio hits, because radio hits is what they do, and you sing what you guys come up with together, and then we promote to radio using the producer's credentials to get the music through the door... or you write the lyrics 'two fux' to a slow waltz, because that is what your artist's heart dreams up, and then you can do that, but those producers don't want to write slow waltzes or flamingo lyrics and they are not on board then. And Adam said, I want the flamingos. And if you ask me why I am a fan of Adam, then it has never been for the chart topper, it has been for this butterfly that dares to fly freely where everyone else tells him he can't or shouldn't, and yet, he has found a way past all the walls and fences that society has put in his way. He has found a way to fame without the chart toppers that others need to be in the public eye and have a social influence. And I am sooooo happy for him! :/ Bye, Bye WBR. Album decisions and everything that goes with it are made by the artist, management and label. Initially MM was going to be involved with album #2. Getting MM back on board for TOH and album#2 was arranged by DMG. My bet is the label suits at WBR crunched some numbers and decided it wasn't feasible or very profitable to spend a big budget on Adamfor album #2. MM is very expensive and knowing the label wasn't going to be fully behind Adam would take MM out of the picture and Adam going with much cheaper writers. MM also guarantees in writing that his songs would be the first singles promoted to radio and pushing a song to pop radio is minimum $1million. That's exactly what happened. Adam really had no idea when he was going to release single/album other than he hoped to be soon and there was no talk about an August single release either. That was all fans speculations. According to recent interview Adam let Brian and Roger listen to TFux and Brian offered to include it in the set. This gave WB the opportunity to take advantage by releasing TFux so quickly and unexpectedly. TFux is not a radio single. Adam can't sing this on tv. They will most likely focus on streaming by having the song on many Spotify playlists. Print, interviews, social media, performing it live on tour is all we are going to get. WBR gave Adam a choice all right. The conversation went like this: We won't be funding a full album but we will do singles only and see what happens. If the songs take off ( which will be no more than 2 singles) we can than consider putting out an EP ( which Alisan hinted at) As for Ryan Tedder. Ryan is a writer and producer for big artists for many labels. Ryan has the luxury to do whatever he wants. He can sit on his butt and just collect royalties and not ever have to put out an album. Other than that the only artists that get the single releases only treatment are artists that are just starting out or artists that the label see as not making a profit on and/or not selling singles/albums and very little radio play. Just like RCA Adam is getting setup to fail. They'll claim they tried without really trying and than drop him. As for Adam you don't get that "I don't give Two Fux" attitude unless things are not going rosy and the "there are several more track releases planned" means nothing. There is a bright side tho. Adam is now open to doing a Queen album if the boys are willing. Disclaimer---No negativity here, I'm actually over a lot of the angst for radio. It is what it is. I agree with a lot of this post. Except, I don't think he is in any danger of being dropped from WBR. Releasing a song like this (and others in the future) is really costing the label nothing. Adam's talent is pretty undeniable. And he has built up a ton of respect. I think WBR will wants him they may just not want to give him a full length album.

I know of no site who gives those numbers. ETA: I see it already. It's from the website I posted earlier. Those numbers are only from the US. Not worldwide. 1863 sold now: www.digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143441Also 128 in the UK: www.digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143444This data shows me enough though. iTunes is not that important anymore. Sales are pretty low overall. So nothing to worry about. Just wanted to say I've joined the 21st century and have downloaded Spotify to my tablet, signed in, found your playlist skaschep, stuck the headphones and the charger cable in and will be streaming full-time now. Go me! I feel so hip and cool!
