Adam Lambert leave 19 Management
8.5.11 by Q3

Adam has new management!! He chose to leave 19 Management and signed with a smaller management firm -- Direct Management Group.

19 Entertainment still has a contract with Adam for recordings (5 album deal) and for his merchandise.

The rumor that Adam would select new management has been floating around for a couple of months and is not much of a surprise.

We will need to see how this plays out but on first look it appears to be a good choice. One excellent thing is that we will not have another 19M patchwork quilt tour -- and the next tour is likely to have one lead promoter.


Adam Lambert Splits With 'Idol' Manager 19 Entertainment
10:25 PM 8/5/2011 by Shirley Halperin

The "American Idol" alum is signing with Direct Management Group, whose client roster includes Katy Perry, K.D. Lang and The Go-Go's.

Adam Lambert is parting ways with 19 Entertainment, the Hollywood Reporter has learned. The American Idol runner-up from season 8 is signing with Direct Management Group, whose client roster includes Katy Perry, K.D. Lang and The Go-Go's.

DMG was founded in April 1985 by partners Martin Kirkup and Steven Jensen and is based in Los Angeles. In the past, the company has also worked with Miranda Cosgrove and Jamie Cullum.

Lambert, whose debut album For Your Entertainment has sold nearly a million copies, isn't the first Idol graduate to leave the confines of 19, the company with exclusive rights to the show's stars. The original Idol, Kelly Clarkson, and season 3 winner Fantasia both found managers independent of the Idol machine, while Carrie Underwood opted to remain with Idol creator Simon Fuller at his company, XIX Entertainment (Fuller also manages current Idol winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina). Most recently, Chris Daughtry's manager Stirling McIlwaine left 19 to open his own firm, taking his client with him.

But while Lambert may be exiting, 19 will long reap the profits of its relationship with the singer. The company stands to pocket royalties from his five RCA Records releases, which include a live and remix album, as well as merchandise and other ancillary revenue streams. It's not clear whether he had a so-called "sunset clause" in his contract, as many Idols do, which details a specific cut-off date on continued profit sharing.

Lambert recently released new music, the song "Outlaws of Love" said to be from his highly anticipated second studio album. Lambert's "Behind the Music" special airs on VH1 this Sunday, August 8.

A representative for 19 Entertainment could not immediately be reached for comment.

The last sentence was replaced a few hours later with this:

A representative for 19 Entertainment tells THR, "Adam remains signed to 19 Recordings as he brings a new management team into his career. We look forward to continued success together."

Adam says he's in LOVE!!!

Was there anything that was off-limits in his new special? Only one thing!

“I think maybe my dating life,” Adam admitted. “I’ve tried to keep that somewhat sacred, as far as that privacy. It’s the one thing I have, you know? I think that’s not uncommon. A lot of people try to keep that private, but the good news is that I am in love, so that’s a good place to be. It’s a great time to be making music, I’ll tell you.”

Adam Lambert, Whatya Want From Me (1.788 million)

Note: these are track sales so do not include the remixes which are combined for RIAA certification. WWFM is over 1.8 million now in the US – that means it will almost certainly be 2X Platinum at some point.

@adamlambert Obviously a mix up. The scary question is what store front in Cyprus uses a picture of Jake Shears?
