Ha! Thanks, zinnia for the explanation. Well, at least Adam has two songs on the chart for people to vote/buy, right? Yes, and those on the left are the ones that station plays the most at the moment. So they really are the Adam Station in Finland. His success overseas is great - on "my" radio station they play him also everyday - WWFM and SW. I hope they will release his second album simultaneously worldwide. |

Carla, what you said about Adam's success overseas really makes me wonder why Adam isn't bigger in the States. It is so frustrating! They have already decided not to release another single from FYE here. I think Sleepwalker would have done well. I also love SFW and Strut, and Fever. So much of the music played on our Top 40 stations here is just crap, very hard to understand why Adam's music hasn't done better. I m not saying it hasn't done well, but just not as big as Adam's talent is.

From yesterday, needed to bring this over, since we are on a different time zone and all .... And chasingeden, loved loved loved your post about the aspen trees: Yes!! That’s us!!! We may get burned down/chopped down with endless RL crap, but the wonderful peeps here at ATop give us hugs and kisses, dust us off then throw some glitter on us, and send us back to RL feeling nurtured and optimistic again. We are the strong roots. That is all.  |

So much of the music played on our Top 40 stations here is just crap, very hard to understand why Adam's music hasn't done better. I m not saying it hasn't done well, but just not as big as Adam's talent is. Adam IS big in the US. The bulk of his sales are US sales. Out of 1.2 million FYE albums, over 800,000 are US sales. Out of 4 million sales in singles, not quite 3 million are US sales! The perception that he is not doing well here is wrong. WWFM made BB's #10 on the Hot 100. IIHY reached #16 on the radio mediabase charts. His album was #29 for the entire year of 2010. 29!!!!! That is amazing! He had a Grammy nomination. He is on TV constantly!!! The reason another single wasn't released here is because of our radio system, not because of Adam's popularity here. It's just too expensive to promote. With the shear number of artists he has to compete with here, he is doing wonderfully! And he will be around for a very long time. This is only the beginning.  ETA: Regarding releasing Sleepwalker here. I think it wasn't released here (besides the expense to promote) was because it is too HAC leaning and Adam wants to be Pop. There probably isn't another Pop leaning single on the album that could have made it big. |

Saturday, March 5, 2011 - 22:28 indybeck71: Attn RCA ED: ** Buying Aftermath on Thurs after Idol Performance and DVD/CD Ad ** Ed, For Thursday, when the Aftermath Remix comes online, will there be a temporary homepage with just that and the DVD/CD on it so people can buy the charity single and preorder the DVD/CD. I hope so. It can be quite simple and with no Flash – just click through to the store. The site has been much slower for many people since the Glam Nation Live DVD/CD ad pop-up was put it place. (It does grab attention though!) Sometimes, however, it’s like the ad that ate Tokyo; that’s all you see on the page. ACTUALLY, IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS www.adamofficial.com re-directed right to Adam’s Music Store and Aftermath added. After all, the whole purpose on Thursday is for Idol viewers to buy the single AND preorder the DVD/CD. Just curious and a little concerned since 1) Adam’s “mega fans” (as you like to say) can crash/cripple almost any web site; 2) there needs to be as few clicks as possible for casual fans to get to the purchase (if it's not quick, that impulse buy is gone); and 3) the site is just slower in general right now. I know you’ve got a lot of other stuff going on with other artists, but it would be shame if Adam Official was too slow and/or cumbersome come Thursday to handle the traffic. Thank you. Monday, March 7, 2011 - 15:44 RCA Ed: Re: Attn RCA ED: ** Buying Aftermath on Thurs after Idol Performance and DVD/CD Ad ** Guys, there's no f***ing (edit: I always forget I can actually CURSE on here - sorry) way I'm gonna break down our promotion plans for to you guys here and withstand everyone poking holes in this or that, without knowing anything about the decisions behind the campaign. Plus, charity is not something you should shove down people's throats - it can come off crass. Thanks in advance for your interest and support though, I'm sure the Glamberts will prove their worth yet again with their enthusiastic and respectful support of Adam's latest charitable initiative.

Well *I* thought indybeck made a perfectly good and respectful suggestion.
ETA: Ed really needs to cut back on the caffeine.

As i remember Adam said that he didnt know how much power the radio has in the US.He found out after the release of his album. I also have no doubt in my mind that he's gonna be a super star. 8-) |

"This is only the beginning." - And IMO this is what people sometimes forget, it is/was his first year as a solo artist. Adam has also earned the respect of the business and TPTB. And the reactions to his Idol appearance are speaking volumes. In Germany he is not a HUGE star but he is becoming a household name and has also pictures, articles etc. in our biggest Teen magazine on an nearly weekly basis. Lets just have a little patience. |
