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.

ITA - have been saying this for ages!! I feel that if Fever had been released it would have been a smash hit. Ridiculous to think that one little 2 letter word stopped it!!! Especially when you consider the antics of Gaga et al !! There is no reason why they could not have released this as a single. It would have gotten into the clubs which may have prompted the radio plays.

I don't know what TPTB are afraid of !!!!

Well *I* thought indybeck made a perfectly good and respectful suggestion.

ETA: Ed really needs to cut back on the caffeine.

So did I, how very rude.

And your pictures kinda scared me.....

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.

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.

Geez, that was a well thought out and respectful post from indybeck. Too bad Ed didn't answer in a respectful manner! :

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.

Thanks for the pep talk, mys*&@^#r! I guess I just want everyone to love his music like I do, and have it played on radio more. From what I hear, there are many big radio stations that don't play Adam's music, even WWFM and IIHY. Although I did hear WWFM in BFE West Texas last weekend!

Crashed before I could post them last night! They're the Monty Python "Killer Bunny" slippers I want!! ;D

The Holy Grail - Part II
The last time you saw the Killer Rabbit, it was blown to bits by the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But that was just the beginning of the poor Rabbit's saga. You see, Tim the Enchanter, bored after the party broke up, resurrected the feared bunny and sent it back to live in the hills. That's where it met another killer bunny, and they bred like…well, rabbits. Tim returned years later as owner and guide of "The Holy Grail Filming Location Tour" and realized how wrong his decision had been. Instead of one Killer Rabbit, there were now thousands of them.

After the tour group fled and filed a major class action lawsuit against Tim, he had to do something to recoup his losses. He conjured a giant mallet and began pounding the Killer Rabbits into slippers, which he sold. The slippers were an instant hit, and Tim now happily resides in a beach house in Malibu. Alas, after a few months the Killer Rabbit was declared an endangered species - so he had plush versions made, which we now offer to you. Each pair is one size fits most, and features flapping mouth action (when you walk, the mouth flaps). Just think, for each pair you buy, two real Killer Rabbits are spared malleting (and Tim gets to drink one more Mai Tai).

Killer Rabbit slippers fit up to a Men's Size 12 (US sizes).

He tells it like it is and doesnt cow down to oppressive fans who seem to know nothing about marketing or finance.
