Don't forget about Canada!!
1. Vote for BTIKM on MuchMusic. Just drag and drop BTIKM into the Top 5 and click submit, and can vote daily (or more with a cleared cache).
Vote here: www.newmusiclive.ca/playlists/#TheTop5I went to vote...and Canada seems to have forgotten Adam...he is no longer on any of the 5 pages of artists to choose from. I shall check it our from another angle...when I press on that link it does not create pictures of the artists. Is there a better link...or have we lost Adam in this poll?edit: after reading a comment back on the thread..maybe Adam is not on as he has gotten little play time on radio stations. compared to most videos Adam's do have an intersting story line and have a message. I keep requesting...but it is not happening here in Calgary.

I think the placement of Adam's VH1 video is due to lack of radio spins and therefore sales and definitely not for lack of votes. My theory is that when you go to the voting page the way the videos are set out tells who is getting the most votes. Adam is often at number 1 and very rarely out of the top row. He definitely would have been No1 if the votes were all that mattered. Oh yeah, that too I'm sure. But under the old system I used to spend literally 2-3 hours voting on VH1 some days (and others way more than that) and now I'm done in 5 minutes or so. So I like to think all those extra hours made some difference. But I guess we'll never know unless someone can get Jim Shearer really really drunk some night and have him spill the beans  (He probably doesn't know anymore than we do tho) I guess the upside of these limited-votes polls is we get a better sense of how popular Adam's videos etc. are among the wider public. Anyway, considering how BTIKM has done on HAC and CHR charts, being on the VH1 Top 20 Countdown for 4 weeks isn't too shabby. |

Interesting version of BTIKM. I know that Ray said this was a live broadcast in the evening, and Adam was in the studio, but do we know if that is true? Because he was in San Diego earlier in the day. How far is Sacramento? This version of BTIKM is all sung with a very light, pure voice. No power belts at all. Usually, Adam will do that in the morning before his voice is warmed up. So, either this was an AM taping, or Adam was very tired, or he was protecting his voice after a long day of talking and performing??? Or, hell, maybe he just felt like being quiet and intimate. |

He definitely would have been No1 if the votes were all that mattered. I thought I read somewhere that his placement on the screen doesn't reflect the standing. I'm wondering if it reflects our individual votes. He's number one on my screen, too, but someone who votes for Adele may have her in the number one spot. The reason I thought that may be the case is that a dj last week referred to how our Adam comes up as the third Adam when he searches YouTube, after Levine and Sandler. But when I search Adam, Adam Lambert comes up first. In fact, there are several Adam Lambert lines before Levine and Sandler.  Just like if I order shoes online, shoe ads are all over the place for a few days/weeks. Big Brother is definitely here... |

I was thinking if there is some thread determined for forum games... I've got an idea for one but don't know if I could post it there.... Is it a very crazy suggestion? : I thought, because it is a slow day with news we would have some fun  We do have a "fun and games" area if you look on the home page. I don't see a sub category for actual games, but, maybe you could start one? |

I have totally lost my mind on this radio promo tour!! I managed to keep every other tour straight but this criss-crossy, packed tour is just mind-boggling. Did we know he was calling into Sacramento last night or did that just get announced yesterday afternoon on the station? 4MsrmynOh sorry I obviously don't know all the radio stations and the tweet that was retweeted repeatedly said San Diego. No need to be sorry. If it weren't for you, wal, & other ATopians, I wouldn't have anything. Thanks for the shout out, 4msrmyn, we all tried to post anything and everything that's Adam here, of course. Like what Q3 said, this radio promo is so mind-boggling, especially with so many different radio stations criss-crossing the country. We do have a thread that I try to keep up for radio promos (well, it sort of like my own playground, really), but please feel free to check it out. The only thing is, I don't archive everything like our wonderful Archivist: 4msrmyn, I would rather just post the "official videos/pictures" from the stations. So if you don't see your videos or pictures or recaps posted there, please don't take it personally. By the way, it does get out of order quickly if a station didn't post the interview on the same day. Here is March, 2012 Radio promo: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=adam2&thread=784&page=4PS: You can also see the first East Coast promo(in February, 2012) here: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=adam2&action=display&thread=782And they are all under the "TRESPASSING (album - Release date: May 15, 2012) " adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=adam2Ooops, sorry for the long post. |

It says this on the Soundcloud page: ADAM LAMBERT Interview by Ray Styles on HOT 103.5 FM in Sacramento, California. Aired tonight, 3-30-12. Probably Pre-recorded on 3-27-12. Includes a live acoustic performance of Adam's new single Better Than I Know Myself (BTIKM). Edited and ripped by @galechester from a two-hour program. Source Livestream at: www.hot1035radio.com. |

It is so confusing with all these appearances. I missed this clip. Adam talks about sound issues on stage, singing the National Anthem, and lip syncing.

Did we know he was calling into Sacramento last night or did that just get announced yesterday afternoon on the station? ETA: In the world of charts..... BTIKM is dropping slightly on CHR/Top 40 monitored airplay BUT it did hit a new chart rank peak at #51 this week. 51 51 LAMBERT, ADAM Better Than I Know Myself 282 316 -34 0.766 That's not the peak this is as far as Sunday positions go. 2012/03/25 50 +1 ADAM LAMBERT Better Than I Know Myself 301 -14 0.956 Peak on spins was 2012/03/21 50 -- ADAM LAMBERT Better Than I Know Myself 317 -- 9 -- 1.112 -- 1 396 50 317 9 1.112 Oh, you are right -- Someone posted it incorrectly on another site and I was being way too lazy -- and not awake. >>I will add a "no coffee yet" note my post<< I have truly lost my mind!!! I am blaming it on Adam!! Waaaay too many radio promo stops! In any case, looks like BTIKM has peaked on Top 40 and is leveling off on HAC -- still headed up but rate has decreased. Plus, looks like it is close to done on VH1 :( I wonder when soon is? |
