First login since a while - but putting a bit toe carefully into the water:
Just a quick answer to aralid and then I have one question too:
Re: Germany promotional visits in 2010:
If my recollection is correct, Adam's visits last time were Bravo-tv, Munich, swf3 Baden-Baden, hr3 Frankfurt and Energy NRJ, Berlin.
There was no promotional activity in Hamburg, I believe. But this time N-Joy and hr3 were the first out of the gate to play BTIKM, and seeing how much Adam tries to focus his promotion on those stations where he feels he is being received well, maybe Hamburg is this time on the list.
My assumption/guess is that from Zell am See he heads straight to Munich (only about 1.5 hour drive) and meets up with Bravo-tv folks on 1/30/12 They have over the last 2 years been his most consistent supporter. They had at least 20 reports or competitions or other events around and about Adam over the 2 years, always supportive. Interestingly, initially, prior to his first visit they were not positive (copied loads of crap from some UK boulevard journal) and their initial prepared interview with him garnered them the famous gay,gay, yay, yay tweet from Adam.
But that tweet and their impression from that visit shook them up and they completely changed their tone and became very supportive ever since.
Change in topic - this is about an Irish/English group:
How much is this group One Direction, who is also releasing an album in US and UK on 3/20/12 a competition to Adam's slot #1 on charts? Clearly in UK they are selling like hotcakes and they seem to be touring the US in Feb-March in preparation of the album release over here.
Any insights - anybody know about them? They also come from reality TV (X-factor) and are with Columbia. While it probably does not matter, whether they get a #1 in UK, where Adam is not known that much anyways, here in the US, I hope Adam gets that #1 chart position for the week of the 3/20/12 release date.
Just wondering what the thoughts are. Thanks
Otherwise, I have now seen that I have quite a few messages in my inbox, so I'll be there for a little while and then need to get back to RL. Will check back here tonight.
