I say it's fans because the only way others would know would be the banner or what little radio play it has gotten in the US. None of the big Pop stations have spun it yet. So, IMO, it is fans. But I think that fact is EXCELLENT!! It shows his fanbase has not splintered away, like Cook's, David A's, maybe Daughtry's. It shows that his initial sales for the album should be quite good. ETA: It is going to start dropping soon. I would guess sometime tonight or tomorrow. But that's normal. When the CHR stations start playing it, it will go up again and stay up. That won't start to happen until January. I really think it is going to be BIG! BTW, it has already peaked higher than FYE, the single!  I don't think it is. I follow several people who are Pulse posters and analyze this stuff inside and out and many INSIST that the iTunes banners are hugely responsible for Kesha and Adele's initial success. Adele had a banner long before her album was released and long before she started getting airplay and was killing because people were sampling from the iTunes store. That's what the banners are there for. It's easier than going to a record store and putting on the headphones any day. Radio is still dominant, but it is not the only way people are introduced to music. It's not even relevant to a large segment of the population. I've also seen tons of RTs from non-stan accounts. BTW: I've seen few offers of gifting and mainly for fans who cannot buy themselves. I have bought one copy on iTunes and gifted one to a Croatian fan who cannot buy her her country. If it doesn't start dropping by tomorrow, then I will go with your ideas. But for now, I say it's fans. But, as I said, I still think that is a very good thing because one of my own big worries was that his fanbase wasn't as big as we thought it was. This eases my mind about that greatly. |

ALL radio contact lists for US & Canada can be found here:
requestadamlambert.wordpress.com/category/radio-list/Q3, could you please put this on the front page every day, or in a separate thread? There's a wealth of info there for all regions of the US and Canada on how to request. Done. And just to be clear, I was not the one compiling this awesome list, just saw the link on twitter and thought it was important to bring it here. |

instinctmagazine.com/blogs/blog/heart-it-or-hate-it-adam-lambert-sets-sights-on-the-dance-floor-with-better-than-i-know-myself?directory=100011Heart It Or Hate It: Adam Lambert Sets Sights On The Dance Floor With "Better Than I Know Myself" Written by Instinct Staff | Tuesday, 20 December 2011 After reports that Adam Lambert was ditching the glam for the dance floor circulated earlier this month, we were expecting something a bit more upbeat and club-ready than the new single, "Better Than I Know Myself." Still, the Robyn-esque down-tempo dubstep flavor marks a new page for the openly-gay pop star, and we can't wait to hear what you think! Follow the jump to listen to new music from Adam Lambert! At once blurring the lines between dance and ballad, we think Adam will gain new fans with this more-mainstream single. (Oh, and we cannot wait for the remixes!) Is it time to retire the Glambert nickname that has been appointed to Adam for years across the blogosphere? And, more importantly, do you heart or hate "Better Than I Know Myself," Instincters?

Well, I will certainly say it is not ALL fans. I've seen tons of RTs from people who don't appear to be "active" fans, based on their Twitter accounts. |

4evrmomof4 Linda Ladden @sony_Music Fans R concerned that these d/l will not be counted toward single total sales #'s...do they count? Thank you so much! 15 Dec in reply to ↑ Sony_Music Sony Music Canada4evrmomof4 Sorry for the V late reply! Just got OFFICIAL word. Album pre-orders + BTIKM DL will only count towards album sales. 8 minutes ago |

First off--openly gay? Really? Still on that eh? Secondly--THERE IS NO FREAKIN DUBSTEP IN THIS FREAKIN SONG. Did they even listen to it? Do they even know what it is? LMFAO. Next. |
