Most artists don't 'hit big' until second, third, even fourth albums. As far as Idol, Kelly is THE ONLY Idol thus far to have a sophomore album sell more than her debut. Except that with the state of the record industry and all the music that gets stolen these, days, the criteria for success of a 2nd album has changed. And for Idols, it is a whole different ball game. If I'm not mistaken, most 2nd albums would be considered a success if they can sell 75% of what the first one did. The figure may even be lower. However, I think Adam is in a unique situation. I honestly think his first album "broke ground" for him among the public and radio stations. I truly feel that album #2 and the first single, will be more quickly accepted by radio. I think album #2 will do better than #1. It will go platinum in less than a year. Yup, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!  OK, off to donate in honor of DHunken Thanx, I feel betterer now. No more angsting for me, well, that is unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary.  |

I did have hopes of a song from FYE hitting organically, without promotion to radio, and becoming a smash single. Guess the fan base just wasn't large enough to make it happen. Maybe album #2 though? Hmmm, I always thought it was because the radio wouldn't play it ? I think I have been misunderstood....I know that radio is very important currently. My original thought was that there would have been a song on FYE the album, that was so great and catchy that everyone, including radio PTB would fall in love with it, and play the heck out of it. I listen to Adam's album continuously in my car, and everywhere else that I can (ha...all the way from Ont. to Concord and back for his concert), I love it. But of course, I've come to understand more fully the obstacles BB has had to overcome. Yes, here's hoping the road for the next album will be a little smoother. |

Question/Theory: Is the DVD and Aftermath charity single A way (in part) to see what Adam can sell with out paying any radio money? Adam has pimped these projects for A while. Can he get any organic radio play from these projects? I am still catching up with this thread -- but there is no such thing as "organic radio airplay" for pop music in the US. Even college radio is promoted now. That died out when the corporations bought out FM radio starting in the mid-1970's. BUT perceived fan demand can convince a PD to increase the rotations on a promoted song -- in other words, real not orchestrated, fan requests matter. I didn't word this very well. Is the DVD/Charity Single A test to see what Adam can sell without traditional Radio money and play? They seem to be pushing advertising more than they did the acoustic CD. Are they going to try A new way to sell Adam through Social Media? |

NoAngel,,
My apologies. In my first attempt at block quoting.
I included some of your thoughts along with Aloha's
without giving proper credit. What an inspiring tribute you
both wrote about Dhunken. I remember him too from past
PF and MJ wanderings.
My thanks to you both!
