Really? This seems so unlikely. My Walmart has a tiny little section for CD's and it seems amazing that this sleazy miniscule company could get Walmart to stock it. I know FakeOne was in the stores, but that was 2 years ago when the CD section was at least 3 times the size it is now. With the tiny bit of shelf space available, how does something like this manage to get stocked? There are many different sizes of Walmart music departments. Some are still quite large other do not even have an endcap just part of a run. But BFM is coming out BF week. Wasn't Nov. 8th the original rumored date for Adam #2? |

Wasn't Nov. 8th the original rumored date for Adam #2? It was the first rumored release date because that is the date that Walmart had on their internal schedule -- so maybe this is a recycled old rumor???? |

Aloha - hi  Recently you mentioned some interaction with your brother. I thought, "he would get along well with my brother". :  Someone else mentioned that Adam needs straight male fans. I laid in bed the other night trying to understand what the determining factors for acceptance are in my family and friends. Why do members of the same family feel so differently? When I considered religion, education, occupation, location (city - country - state), birth order, single, divorced, music preferences, politics and so on I could come to no other conclusion than is seems those who have been willing to consciously THINK and then make their own conclusions was the difference. Those that used "my husband says, the bible says", etc. somehow didn't seem to make an effort. And for the comment about needing straight male fans. When one of my male relatives said "I can't stand Adam. His shows would be just a bunch of gay guys", the male relatives who has been to his shows said "Not so!" They had gone, they had a great time, and it was a very diverse crowd. Maybe they don't buy music as Q3 says but their willingness to attend his shows may help open the discussion. Not everyone will change their opinion but perhaps it would cause some to think a bit more before speaking. Sorry for the rambling but hope this is ok. I spent the last 2 days with a cousin and his girlfriend, I haven't seen him in 15 years, her I never met. The conversation was all over the place, from Rick Perry (they live in Texas and cannot believe he is such an idiot,) to religion, and finally to music. Now these are people in their late 40's but he is a graphic designer, she is a college professor, so up on what's going on today. He used to like the rock'n roll bands, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, etc, now is more into "alternative" music. The girlfriend's take on that is he wants to be "cool," and relevant. His much younger brother, 34, is a huge U2 fan, and in spite of the fact that he is a real jock, a personal trainer, hot, hot, hot straight guy, I've heard his friends comment (with him in the room and them being serious) that it is so GAY that he likes U2 so much. It seems the consensus is that if you're country, that's okay, if you're alternative, that's okay, but if you follow anyone mainstream, even U2, with any dedication, it is lame. I don't have a particular point with this, except I come in contact with so many 20 and 30 somethings every day, and none of the guys will admit to liking any top 40 performers, Eminem, Bruno Mars, etc, included. Rhianna they will say they like, but with smirks on their faces..... and these are well-educated, mostly professional men. I can't see any of them attending an Adam or an Eminem show, but they'd show up for Jason Aldean or The Sheep Dogs. Maybe they need the plaid to feel masculine. |

I have decided that if Beg for Money turns up I'm hiding it behind Polka music. We can't all hide them in the same place or they will know where to look.

For you bored ones: here's an interesting tweet from the other Adam KeithOlbermann Keith Olbermann by msquisty Maroon 5 wins Tweet Of The Week: RT @adamlevine Dear Fox News, don't play our music on your evil fucking channel ever again. Thank you. 45 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply The AMAs were on ABC. Disney ABC cancelled three live Adam appearances, but did not ban him. Fox is the first network that let Adam perform live on network prime time after the AMAs. Fox News is part of the same media company as Fox-TV, Newscorp, ETA: Pharrell doesn't tweet much or at all. twitter.com/#!/4real4rell 1 Tweet ever He does have a web presence: theneptunes.org/pharrell-is-on-twitter/ And a myspace page: www.myspace.com/pharrellI think that twitter info must be old, because Pharrell has a verified account now under his own name. twitter.com/pharrell |

 How do you know this? Some people are obviously buying it. How many countries, other than Canada , have any type of advertising? BFM is very low on iTunes -- just selling a few copies -- no pop bars. #964 on Amazon. If fans were being fooled it would be ranked higher. Unfortunately I'm here to report that BFM is currently at #102 on NZ itunes pop chart :( Actually :( nowhere near appropriate - more like:   Can't wait til I'm reporting his NEW single is climbing the NZ itunes and official top 40 charts! |

I am just watching BFM in the US and the UK. That is all the bandwidth I have.
