Does anybody know whether the number of singles from one studio album is limited? Or how many singles could Adam potentially release from Trespassing? Thanks in advance  Singles do not need to be from albums, but since the 1960's usually are. The number of non-album singles is growing because of digital. In addition, many singles are from EP's vs. albums. In the digital world there is no longer any standard definition of a single but I have used the definition that a single is a single song track that is released separately from an album either as a non-album single or as an album single. Artists have released ever track on a album as singles -- so I am changing the questions to singles released to radio. Of major artists, I believe Michael Jackson has the record for the most singles from an album -- Michael Jackson "Thriller" - 7 singles; "Bad" - 9 singles, "Dangerous" - 9 singles. In 2012 --- there are a few major artists with 5 singles from one album --- one example - Lil Wayne has 5 from Carter IV (2012). Katy Perry has 7 singles -- so far -- from "Teenage Dream" -- with 6 #1's and a #3 they are prob not done. --- Generally, a US Major Label artist will get 2 singles from an album released to radio and if they have a hit -- they will get more. But if there are 2 misses, and the label still thinks the artist has commercial potential, they sometimes move to a non-album single. The promotional cost of promoting an album to radio is very high and the artist pays a large part of it out of their royalties -- so they actually have some role in deciding about single #3. If this doesn't make sense that means you get it. It makes no sense. Since everything is digital, and you can buy just one track, the "single" is a somewhat obsolete. |

I have to say I dont get the mega-attraction of Katy Perry. She's very pretty, appears nice and her songs are poppy. But what is it? I have a soft spot for Katy Perry because she was a friend of Adam's even before he appeared on American Idol. Katy Perry performed during his American Idol season on May 13, 2009 on the Top 3 results show. She sang "Waking Up In Vegas" and wore a sort of Elvis costume with a cape that had Adam's name embroidered on the back.  I will always LOVE her for this. I didn't get what a big deal it was until after the season was over. I wasn't a huge idol watcher and I didn't read anything about idol on the internet until the season was half over. LOL |

On Katy Perry --- I have been to several of her concerts and her audience is not a bunch of tweens -- although they are present. She is very popular with fans 15 to 34 years olds -- and very very strong with 18-24. Skewed female slightly. So a classic mainstream pop artist. These are not only the biggest music buyers, then are also the biggest music streamers. That is the demographic sweet spot for pop music. The music is fun dance-pop. She is attractive and likable. And now that she has dumped Russel Brand, what's not to like? (That is a rhetorical question. Please do not answer.) Here is a video of her fans --- www.youtube.com/watch?v=staxOD_8qx8 |

I loved her from this moment on......we all know how rare it is for an artist to come out in support of another artist......I'm even starting to like some of her music  |

So, I'm getting the idea that we should all be streaming Adam as we sit at our computers? These streams count? Can anyone give me an idea on what to stream? Thanx.

From twitter full cap of the casting call with the shoot date: http://i.imgur.com/M5lsV.png  Thanks!! For posting! I am in total amazement -- not by the description but by the date -- May 1. It actually means that they might have a music video out somewhere around an Adam song's CHR Impact Date. I believe this is a first!! Well unless they take 7 weeks to edit it! You must have missed the quote from Adam that the video was being done "next week." (said last week) Was it the twitter party when he said that? ETA: I think BTIKM video was 3 weeks from shoot to release. |

The minute before he tweeted about how excited he was for performing for Kimmel tomorrow. Makayla @xiihy4lyfx · Open @adamlambert Any hints about how the NCOE Music video is going to turn out? Have you brainstormed anything yet? #NCOENOWWithVideo. Adam Lambert @adamlambert Close @xiihy4lyfx YES! Been working w the director on the NCOE concept. Very excited to shoot it next week. |
