Me too! It is well over 2 million now.

ETA: Facebook numbers are rising so fast it's kind of crazy!

Soverymel explained the Facebook numbers on MJs

Regarding Facebook, this is what happens when a bunch of people on it see something they like and post about it on their walls. It triggers a trickle down effect as many of their friends who see it decide they Like it too. With more than 750 million people on Facebook, it’s not surprising that the numbers can rise quickly after some extremely positive TV exposure.

While there is overlap, Facebook is a bit of a different demographic from twitter, since it is primarily used by people using their real names connecting with their real friends. Twitter is more likely to be people with specific interests connecting with others on the internet with those same interests, although that of course does sometimes include real life friends. And it does not spur the same trickle down effect when someone new follows Adam.

Yeah, this is what I was trying to say, a Facebook "like" using your real name shows up on your friends list feeds in a way that following a new account on twitter doesn't. Also, since it's attached to your real name, in effect you are "endorsing" that band/musician and are much more likely to sway others into following it, than if you have a twitter account under an alias and only follow/are followed by people with similar interests who might not know anything about you except that you are a Dodgers fan, for example.

Hoppers - what you were talking about, having separate circles of privacy is what google+ is trying to achieve it looks like.

Two other things about Facebook and Adam's official page:

1) someone on another site said that until recently it was listed as a "business" rather than a musician/band so if that is true it may have slightly confused either users searching, or the coding that in newer facebook connects your arts and entertainment profile information with fan pages.

2) New facebook (which I think rolled out in December last year?) links the information you used to list on your profile pages to fan pages for music, tv, movies, schools, etc. automatically "liking" them for you as far as I can tell. That's why it's much easier to determine how many people "like" an artist now than it was in the past.

Q3, do you think Adam has a 360 deal?

360 Deals In the Music Industry - Good vs. Bad

Due to the dramatic decline in physical music record sales over the past decade, we have seen an evolution from a pre-recorded audio music rights deal to what is now known in the entertainment industry as a '360 rights deal'. The term '360' is generally known to mean 'all in' or 'all encompassing' which entails the record companies taking a piece of the pie in all aspects of the artists life as a musical artist. These 360 deals are actually quite old, stemming from deals made with Motown artist where the record companies, short of touring, would control everything related to the artist. These 360 deals were more commonly being recognized in the boy band era but usually these deals were an exception to the rule. Nowadays, 360 deals are an automatic assumption for a label to use with an upcoming musical artist and companies are now known to walk away from deals unless the artist agrees to a 360 contract.

All the Idols have close to a 360 deal with 19 Entertainment -- it excludes publishing so a "270 deal". Same for X Factor, AGT, BGT, etc. I am not sure about X Factor and publishing.

Adam does not have a 360 deal with RCA -- he is licensed to RCA by 19 Entertainment for recordings and promotion of recorded music, Cobalt has his publishing, he has finished his 19 Management time frame and moved on to Direct Management Group. But the rest of Adam is "owned" by 19E -- some things for 10 years.

The Idol contract is actually very fair to Adam and the advances are large compared to the general market.

ASCAP Search HERE

Adam & Monte Songs

01. 15 Minutes Of Fame / Pop Goes The Camera

05 Crawl Thru Fire / Stars and Stripes

Also, I think, Q3 said Citizen Vein had more than 29 songs.
Does anyone know how to search for them?

4msrmyn , I didn't include some of the info you posted coz it's too long but HERE'S MY QUESTIONS:

1. Did I see it correctly that WILSHIRE PUBLISHING is the publisher of some of the CV songs, including Pop Goes The Camera and Crawl Thru Fire?? What does it mean? Does it mean they own these CV songs?

2. Is this WILSHIRE PUBLISHING the same as WILSHIRE RECORDS / HI-FI RECORDS who's releasing "On With The Snow" or "Take One"?
If they're actually own these songs, NO WONDER Adam's so reluctant to re-release these songs or perform them again LIVE.

And I'm really.. really SAD if these CV songs are actually in the hand of these people .. because there goes my dreams to hear Adam perform them or re-recording them

Here's the article on the "On With The Snow"
www.accesshollywood.com/hi-fi-recordings-ceo-i-do-not-want-to-hurt-lambert-with-unofficial-album_article_19511

And here's the one about "Take One"
www.mjsbigblog.com/adam-lambert-take-one.htm/comment-page-1/#comments

Wilshire (Malcolm Welsford's company) is not Hi-Fi.

Malcome Welsford owns that master recordings from Citizen Vein's Paramount recording sessions. He never sold or licensed them to Hi-Fi or Rufftown or anyone else.

Monte and Adam own the publishing rights to the songs. The rights are managed by Wilshire.

It has taken me months to work thru all these deals. And a lot of what is online is wrong.
