Gosh, I love watching Katri and Sauli together. They are so adorbale, even when just using Skype. So, why was Sauli in a dark room with only a light coming through the doorway????? Inquiring minds want to know! ;D Actually, I think he and Adam need a VMA for set direction of that Skype! Such a clever way to position it all so it is impossible to tell which room of the house he was in!  |

But this is the exact timeline that RCA has been using. I know other labels have had singles out there longer before the album, Katy Perry's for one. But do you have any RCA artists as examples of a 2 to 2 1/2 month single lead off before the album? If Adam's single is released 10/18/11 (and that is not certain just based on his 8 weeks -- online rumor is it may be end of October) and the album is released on 11/22/11 (also not confirmed), that is 33 days. For comparison, Kelly's new single is out 54 days before album release. Not optimal but with the competition from too many female pop stars they seem to have worked to find an less competitive release time for her. The original schedule that Adam mentioned late summer single, November album sounds like a schedule RCA would like -- Sept 6 single, Nov 8 album would have been 62 days. I think there is a change RCA will hold the album until December so they have time to build awareness. I just pulled some of RCA's recent releases -- and even the other Idols are not this tight. (Dates are from Wiki -- so sorry if they are off.) Kesha -- Animal - January 1, 2010 Tik Tok - August 7, 2009 The EP was released less than a month after the lead single Cannibal (EP promoted like a #2 album) November 19, 2010 Lead single "We R Who We R" October 22, 2010 Mike Posner 31 Minutes to Takeoff - August 10, 2010 Cooler Than Me - April 16, 2010 Christina Aguilera Bionic - June 4, 2010 Not Myself Tonight - April 13, 2010 Britney Sprears (signed to Jive, promo done by RCA) Femme Fatale - March 25, 2011 "Hold It Against Me" - January 11, 2011 Usher Raymond v. Raymond - March 30, 2010 Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home) - December 8, 2009 Kelly Clarkson All I Ever Wanted (album) March 6, 2009 MLWSWY January 13, 2009 New album is scheduled for release October 25, 2011, lead single released online/radio August 30, 2011.Daughtry Leave This Town - July 14, 2009 No Surprise - May 5, 2009 Jennifer Hudson Remember Me (album) - March 22, 2011 Where You At - January 24, 2011 Here is one example of a major release were the lead single was out <30 days before the album..... Adam Lambert FYE (single) 10/30/09 FYE (album) 11/23/09 23 days!! And WWFM was released on 11/20/09 -- so the functional lead single was only 3 days ahead of album. I just do not think that RCA will do this again. I think they will schedule it so that there is time to properly promote the singles. Like all of us, they need to wait for Adam to finish. |

Thanks!  When did Adam say late summer for a single? I can't recall. I remember lots of interviews where he said Fall, for the album. Can't remember when he said late summer for the single. I remember all of us, saying late summer for the single, but not Adam. But then agian, my memory can be crap! |

I remember all of us, saying late summer for the single, but not Adam. But then agian, my memory can be crap! He said it a few times -- but it was early on. One was OnTheRedCarpet interview January 2011. That was before he started working on the album and a lifetime ago. I will wait patiently until he is done -- but I would rather have a later album release with a proper promotion. So if the lead single is out 10/18/11, I hope they release the album in early December vs. November. But maybe Adam was off on his weeks -- he is not that good with time |

I don't take his "8 weeks" as a concrete timeline, but rather his maximum. Especially in light of the fact that he also tweeted that he was finishing 3 singles this week. It's still the end of August. For a single in 8 weeks, and finishing this week, that's a lot of time in between.
On another subject, watching the VMAs did put a little angst into my head. I have been absolutely 100% sure that Adam would have no problems getting played on radio, this go round. But when I went to bed last night, I realized there was only one singer on that whole show last night that was white, male and Pop! And that was Beiber!!! Adam's biggest obstacle may not be that he is gay, at all. It may be that he is a white male & trying to break into Pop! Scary :-/!

So if the lead single is out 10/18/11, I hope they release the album in early December vs. November. But maybe Adam was off on his weeks -- he is not that good with time I'm still hoping for THIS. A. That Adam was including last week in his "Eight weeks," not thinking that it was Friday night when he said it and ... B. That he was building in a pad of at least a week, perhaps two, just in case something was delayed. That can make a difference of two to three weeks, so I still think 10/4 or 10/11 with a Black Friday release date makes more sense all the way around. Also, RCA has not announced its November release calendar at this point. Again, I can't imagine that he's just dinking around while this crucial timeline slips though his fingers after all this work and knowing how critical this album is. If he TRULY "isn't done," (and I don't mean that they aren't continuing to finish vocals, etc., which they are and would likely be built into the original scheduling). I would imagine him recording through the night if that's what it took to get the launch off on the most optimum time frame. |

I can't put on those big lights. Everybody thinks, what pig is here... ;D K: I started, S nobody even sees you, put at least some light on... S: It's night here, and I took a little lamp, so you can see my face...  |
