My fav is Stranger you are. But personal favourites. And what’s best for Radio are different things. Roses is definitely a mainstream current stand out. Logistically it’s hard to know what Adam and His team have planned. In this uncertain times. We know the Vegas shows have been rescheduled. I’m presuming QAL Europe shows well be too. So won’t see any real movement probably till at least Late September. There are predictions from scientist that there will be a 2nd wave of the virus in the fall/winter. So Adam's Vegas residency could be postponed again. I fear this as well...havent heard anything specific but I know about the spanisch-flue 100 years ago that it came in two "waves"...the first wave hit the ones you would "suspect" elderly, people with preexisting conditions, the second wave hit the ones one would less assume...the 20-40 year olds...

Thing is: it's not like any other artist is getting a headstart or something. It's affecting everyones promo equally. I guess that makes it more tollerable. Promo is affected for everyone, true, but that still doesn't make it a level playing field. If your music is all over the radio and on major playlists, the promo is less important. Adam really needed those appearances he lost. It may not have made a long term, sustainable difference, but at least it would have helped with first week numbers as Adam generally gets a nice boost after he appears on television. In the end it is what it is, and I know there are far more important impacts from the pandemic, but as others have expressed, I still hurt a bit for Adam. This album was his baby 5 years in the making, and for its launch to be upended the way it was has to be a bitter pill no matter how he's reacting publicly and no matter how he undoubtedly realizes it has to be this way.

Adam is not on the radio or the big streaming playlists. And as much as we his fans stream, there is no getting him those outrageous streaming numbers that some enjoy. TV is the best promotion that he has. We all understand it had to be cancelled for the unfolding events but we can still recognize that it hurt him and us for his release.

All valid points how the pandemic put a damper on Adam's album release. Adam could have put the album on hold of course, but given the uncertainty of what the future holds he probably was eager to get it out. I am sure happy he did.
