In all fairness, Adam has so many facets, I think it's entirely possible to be a fan without actually liking his music.

Most fans would know that Adam had gold/platinum albums and singles in multiple counties before he joined Queen. He had two of his solo tours before that made him 6mil. and 5mil after expenses and before taxes. We never got the amount for TOH tour but it was likely in the same ballpark. He played two arena concerts in South Africa as a solo artist. He was on the Forbes list of highest earning Idols for five years in a row before they stopped doing the list for Idols. He topped that list after joining Queen but he was on it every year before he joined. He got a Grammy nomination and won awards in China, Poland, Canada, Hungry, Australia and several LGBT awards in the US and UK. He has had 2 albums at #3 on the Billboard 200 and one was #1. He is not the biggest artist or most successful out there but I think fans would view him a success in his own right. And fronting Queen elevated that success no doubt but it was with his talent and showmanship playing arenas and some stadiums all over the world. He was not some spectator on the sidelines. People were cheering for him as they were for the rest of the band cause it is a collaboration. As for music on the radio, he has had music on the radio from all three albums. When he releases album 4 most likely he will be on the radio again. I support Adam and his career. Solo, Queen, acting and anything else. And I think he has some very good music on his albums. Hope it gets even better.

Hope it gets even better. I'm aware of that now but my point is that only fans know that kind of stuff 99% of people don't. Most know him through Queen not his solo music. I could hear on the radio old songs but not his, how come if he's so successful? 'Very good music on his album'- such as? I'm curious which one is a piece of a very good music

I'm curious which one is a piece of a very good music Adam fans do all they can to promote him whenever possible. We've always known how talented he is. If you want to decide which songs are good, I suggest to listen to songs from all his albums. They are full of good songs.

And around the gerbil wheel we go...again.
I don't get why Adam's success is measured only by his solo career...Queen is part of his career, why discount that? He wants appearances in movies, tv..will that be discounted also?
Success is subjective...most singers, I'm sure, would count fronting Queen as success, and would count their blessings. Is success only radio play, or is it only playing stadiums, or is it millions of followers on social media, or billions of streams,or or or or?
Is Adam happy, does he feel successful in his career? That's all I care about because I want him to continue singing and performing, and doing what he loves.
Anything else is a moot point, IMO.
