I will never understand why Brian Mansfield at USA Today is such a passive aggressive asshole when it comes to Adam He gave the single numbers THIS week (but not last week even though I'm sure they were available to him) and had this to say about Adam: All the Idol tracks in SoundScan's list of the 200 top sellers saw double-digit percentage increases in their weekly sales. One track absent from the top 200: Adam Lambert's Better Than I Know Myself, in its second week of release.I really despise him. I don't see a problem with what Brian said. It is the 2nd week of release. It is not in the Top 200. Sure it brings the haters out and they start calling the song a flop, but I have no doubt we will have the last laugh. If this song isn't huge, I will eat my hat!! Agreed, I think what he's saying is that it's ONLY in it's 2nd week and doesn't have any radio play yet to get non-stans buying it. |

Melliemom & MyS*&@^#r - I'm sure you're right. I honestly don't remember what the promotion was like for WWFM, so we may well be in the same pattern & this is just normal procedure. I just got a little defensive over that article. And after all was said & done, WWFM was a HUGE hit. I still hear it played on the radio here. I use the term "radio" loosely - I live in a small town of 9,000 rednecks & we actually have a radio station here called The Mix 97.3. I think their staff consists of one guy. Maybe if I buy him a KFC bucket of fried chicken he might play BTIKM. ??? The promo for this single was interupted by the holiday. I am expecting things to kick in next week. Really, I am a big angster (is that a word?) and I am going to be very Zen until the 3rd week of January.  |

What are the call letters? Call letters? :-[ I don't know for sure what they are but I was talking about Z107.7 here in St. Louis. Are those the call letters? :-[ :-[ Go here to the Add board at Mediabase addboard.mediabase.com/StationsNotAdded.asp?sngcde=LAMBBTIK&Format=XXClick on the city name header to sort them alphabetically. Read down until you find your city and see if you can tell which station is which. It will tell you spins from last week but nothing yet for this week until next Monday again. |

Really, I am a big angster (is that a word?) and I am going to be very Zen until the 3rd week of January. I'm thinking they set the album date and then worked backwards. Having the single add date at two months is what they wanted. Can't do that and give the song to the stations on Jan 9th (they'd have to wait till next week as we've seen a lot of pds were still gone this week). That would only give them a 2 week lead time to add date and the spins would have been weaker than they'd like. The pre-xmas release allowed people to touch, a few to spin, and I think as the spins have come in today etc. that the momentum is building. |

See if this makes you all feel better. For WWFM the first 3 weeks of sales totalled 31,000. If BTIKM sold 39,000 it's first week (yes, I believe the leak from Rene), it was already past 3 weeks of sales of WWFM! AMAZING for a song that has not even been performed yet!!
WWFM is almost 2X Platinum and its first week of sales was 11,000! It's radio play that drives sales of Pop songs and the same thing will happen with BTIKM.
Don't worry! Be happy!
