I, who know nothing about charts and spins and stuff, feel that #76 is pretty darn good, considering it got dropped on the market only days before Christmas with no promo.  Followed by a few good  's We're on our way baby!!! Buckle yerselves in...  I just saw this on twitter... is this true? And if it is, how do we do it? 4evrmomof4: Fans @adamlambert If you listen to BTIKM on Spotify, revenue for Adam & cumulative listens count toward Billboard digital spin charting!! |

I know nothing about numbers, but to debut at 76 without any promo seems pretty fantastic to me. So I'm going to away! |

Not sure if this is true either.

FYI Billboard's rankings r based on a combination of download activity, streaming data and radio airplay on more than 1,200 radio stations.

I sent a gift of BTIKM to my 17-year-old granddaughter. Told her if she didn't like it to listen to it a few times before she critiques. I was just talking to her mother on the phone and my granddaughter yelled "Gramma, I only had to listen once, and the song is great."

Hmmmm Kinda wish people would wait until the song is added at the station. I think stations will add the song much sooner than WWFM, so I don't think the wait will be long. Oh is there a strategic reason not to request until the song is added?  Not really.. it just can be kind of annoying to the station if it isn't even on their list yet. I keep thinking that not that much is really going to happen at the radio stations until everyone is back after the first of the year. Plus, last time around more than a few fans pissed off the PDs. On a separate note: Queen's Greatest hits II is on sale on AMAZON Mp3 for $3.99!! |

4evrmomof4: Fans @adamlambert If you listen to BTIKM on Spotify, revenue for Adam & cumulative listens count toward Billboard digital spin charting!! OKIE DOKIE... Just last week I discovered that I am paying for the premium Spotify service - for my son...So, I figure I can use that account too. Going to look for BTIKM and play it... and I don't care that my DS will be "embarrassed" that Adam Lambert shows up in his play history >:( ETA: found a "repeat" button - so it can keep playing ;D |

Alison, yeah that was me - guilty as charged :  . I was only at PF for the last few months, but if I recall correctly, the thread that day had been hysterical (possibly an apple pie day?  ) and the fitted sheets vid sent every one over the edge totally *snorts* What was surprising tho, was how many peeps actually watched it and felt suitably 'enlightened' by their new found domestic knowledge.  ;D I will be eternally grateful for that video, Catz. It was one of the first video's I downloaded from PF. I've been wrestling with those damned fitted sheets my entire life! Haha! I love the off-topic stuff! Welcome back seoulmate!! The forum just isn't the same without you!  |

If so it's kinda a different situation IMO. For my local stations, who I'm pretty sure haven't spun it yet but do have the vid of the song on their website I'm requesting once a week through the mediabase form with an alternate request (another Adam song, some other tune I like, whatever), just to get in practice and get to know how requests work for them. |

Maybe it is the station that is currently playing it the most??? IDK. Rock on I guess, then. *shrug* I'm not getting all worked up about it one why or the other. In fact, I have lots faith this song will do well on its own, I doubt that I'll play the request game. ETA: As you can see I'm from DC. Hot 99.5 (of the infamous Toby) rarely, if ever played Adam, so my efforts were pretty pointless. I also subscribe to Sirius. They seemed more open. |

Aww.. #76 isn't so bad. He only got 94 spins that week. Some of those top songs got 14K spins and sold a bunch. Don't worry! |
