Okay, it's clear that I have much too much time on my hands today, but here's something else I wonder about...
Program Directors and DJs aren't immune to egomania (you see what I did there? How that's not really a slam but kinda is?) or xenophobia, especially those of a more conservative ilk. I wonder if the fact that the album was reviewed so extensively in the UK first and to such raves isn't actually giving their USA-centric boxers a tweak?
One wonders...
ETA: Well shame on moi. A belated thank you so much for all your kind welcome posts. I like it here!

I wonder if they decided to push the second - more uptempo - single in the UK market? Of course, this is just one person, so grain of salt and all that. This is like 3rd hand info LOL Wouldn't be surprised if true. The UK info we have been getting has been so much about the album songs and anything but about BTIKM. Has always seemed to me like the UK had blinders on to the first single and that the push has been more about Adam as a singer, songwriter and performer and the album than about the current single. And factor in that the peeps there don't seem to really be enticed with BTIKM and are raving about many of the others. It seems inevitable the UK will get a different single for the big UK push, IMHO anyway:-) AND YEAH Yay for #38 on HAC! *Happy Dance* The only thing I like about this idea is that it would mean we get to hear another album track in a few weeks! ;D |

I don't think that the UK would be getting a new single. it makes no sense. After all this dude was proven to be wrong before. Didn;t he tweet and say that Adam would be doing *limited* UK promo and then Shoshanna was like, erm no he will be going there and doing more than limited shit.
Also Shoshanna tweeted just the other day that BTIKM is going to UK radio soon. So either this dude is high on his own shit again--ATTENTION WHOOOORE--or has totally wrogn info, or has mixed up info about his legit second single and the fact that he will go back to promo that later. After he goes there now to promo BTIKM.
I take anything this dude says with a grain of salt.

I guess a lot of us were on the same wave length this a.m. especially after the discussion yesterday. I too don't think we have progressed as far as we think we have in our nation's acceptance of the GLBT community. The Jackie Robinson analogy rings true and is sorta what I was thinking to myself -- just articulated better.
That's why I mentioned yesterday that I no longer "closet" my affection for Adam and his music. The eye rolls I get when I start talking are miniscule to what Adam must face on a regular basis. In my area we have A LOT of KA fans and alot of C&W fans -- which is fine, I like both -- but, sometimes it seems you aren't "allowed" to like both -- it seems to have become an either/or choice. The same as pop vs. rock -- you can't like Adam Lambert AND Country. I live in an area with some really cordial, fine folks and, I say this without prejudice, very short-sighted when it comes to "outsiders". I'm considered an outsider because I'm a Yankee AND, heaven forbid, a METHODIST. So, you can imagine how I'd be perceived if I were to be gay. EGAD!
I have forever been embarrassed for a discussion I got into with a work associate. He was an Idol follower, an ex-marine, a National Guardsman, an Iraqi war vet, a good family guy who cared for his wife, daughter and mother-in-law. He was someone I grew to respect very much. I came to know him almost directly after Season 8. He voted for KA and the first dance at his wedding was to KA. I asked him what he thought of Adam Lambert. OMG -- his tirade was unbelievable -- I just shut down and clammed up. I just couldn't believe I was hearing such hateful words from someone I had come to respect. I was so insulted that I was perceived as a person who would side with those kinds of extremely biased opinions. I don't know why I didn't stand up and defend that day but I didn't. After much thought I came to terms with my behaviour by promising I wouldn't stay quiet when confronted with that sort of prejudice again. And, now I don't.
So, I'm a million percent behind Adam and his music and, if it takes longer than I think it should, it probably is but I'm not going to angst and get discouraged -- just give my constant support.
BTW -- after all that -- Amazon or I-Tunes to order an album download for Adam's birthday? I've already ordered the CD from AO.

was just coming here to post that bullsfan! 45 38 ADAM LAMBERT Better Than I Know M... 223 164 59 0.897 +3 positions +17 spins +10 bullet +.106 AI Could someone please explain what the numbers mean ? You know, the 223 169 etc.... : OK, I think I know most of this. 223 is yesterday's spins. 164 is the numbert from last week, the same day., so in that row, they are comparing this week to last week, for the same day. However, +3 is up from #41 of yesterday. And the +17 is the spins up from yesterday, which were 206 I have never been able to figure out the Bullet. 0.897 is the Audience Impressions = how many people are hearing the song. It has to do wiht the market of each station! |
