This is a first! Congrats @adamlambert you've entered on #47 on this weeks @billboard Social 50 chart! 🎉 Caused by all the reactions to both the #Oscars performance with @queenwillrock and the news about your new music #FeelSomething! 🎧 #Social50 www.billboard.com/charts/social-50 … THIS IS S BIG DEAL!!!!! [img class="smile" src=" " style="max-width:100%;" alt=" "] I remember that we discussed years ago how important it is to get on that list. Adam was nowhere near it back then. YES!! Yay! I don't pretend the understand all these "lists" that are so important. I do Spotify whenever I can. So if this list is good news, I am thrilled!

lurleen, I am totally onboard with what you are saying about the radio play dilemma. To me, the most significant sentence in your above post is" "People may think radio is not important, but it is important and useful to those artists who can get it." That means radio play IS important because it gives certain artists an immense boost in exposure to the GENERAL public who are often passive receivers of whatever is being played. Streaming is for music that the listeners actively seek out. Playlists are created by the listeners who already know what they want. Downloads and iTunes are pre-selected. But radio reaches listeners who are opening themselves up to whatever comes on the air. They are casual receivers of songs by many artists. Radio is a "discovery medium" much more than a pre-selected playlist is. That's why radio is still relevant. That's why "it's important and useful to those artists who can get it." We have all guessed at the reasons why Adam doesn't get good radio play. It's hard to believe that lingering homophobia could be one of them, but it might be. Lord knows, he's had some great songs that never saw the light of day. Actually 90% of the streamers (don't know the exact number, but it's close) don't make their own playlists, but use a playlist suggested to them by Spotify. So it's Spotify who decides what they listen too. That's why it is so important to get on those big playlists. So instead of Radio deciding your music Spotify does that. I don't see the difference. If you get on those playlists you get exposed to millions of listeners. Most young people don't even listen to the radio anymore, but always stream and use those playlists. I only listen to radio in the car and even then I skip through channels because I can't find the music I like mostly. The nice thing about streaming is that you don't have to listen to the nonsense most radio folks talk about and also not to any commercials (if you use a premium account at least). So if I understand this correctly, I go to my Spotify page and the songs that are listed there (and I did not choose myself) are my "playlist," right? And those are the ones to play? I play Adam's songs anyway, esp. the current one. I just want to do the most advantageous thing for his numbers.

@adaml_Daily: VIDEO|April 16, 2016 - A little throwback to @adamlambert's TOH tour, we loved it so much! We had the best time at our shows (and were too overwhelmed to remember them but !!!!) 💜 youtu.be/6KLh-gwNVqc I adore that outfit! The color and style are very flattering. I saw this show in Chicago. Had a blast! I hope and pray we get a solo tour. I bet he will really change things up and put on a fabulous show!

twitter.com/mitchlafon/status/1103415987750293504Mitch Lafon @mitchlafon On This Day - March 6th 2014. Queen announce that American Idol contestant, Adam Lambert, will join them for an upcoming tour. Mitch Lafon @mitchlafon Host of Westwood One’s Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon. Also available on iTunes, GooglePlay, TuneIn & Amazon Alexa. Hoping to be Twitter Verified someday! Canada Héctor Cantú @hecocaro And maybe against many or most people, think that the experiment with Adam Lambert went way better than the Paul Rodgers one. The kid have an amazing voice, and his tone and performance on stage fits way better with Freddie style than Paul ever did.
