My only complaint about DMG/RCA since the beginning has been the wacky choice of BTIKM as a lead single and the incomprehensible promo plan for that single. But they recovered from that misstep with the reboot on the promo plan, new better single (NCOE) and by proper staging of this album release. This will be the FIRST time RCA has managed to release the music video for an Adam single BEFORE then impacting radio date. What a novel idea.  But JMHO, this album is mostly #1 right now because it is really good and Adam has worked his tail off building a fanbase. This is not a case of massive promotion resulting in sales. This is more build awareness for months, release the music online and build buzz, get good-great reviews, sell music. And what tracks are selling on iTunes? Trespassing and Runnin' Not either of the "singles".
So my "job well done" kudos go to Adam not RCA.Here's hoping he does two songs on Idol -- NCOE + Trespassing and Trespassing jumps up the charts. That would be just the perfect way to cap off this week for me. And I want to see what RCA will do if the organic single hit is a gay empowerment song performed by a gay man vs. a pop diva. Wooooo sooooooooooo scary!! NCOE is selling, it is the third highest selling single off of the album at this time and one of the three songs in the top 100. (and remember it was in the top 100 for a week already) I've seen this happen many times with album releases. Casual fans already have the single, so they buy a couple of more tracks from the album on iTunes. There are many people who don't buy albums anymore, they just pick and choose. It isn't surprising that fans of "AI Adam" went for the song that sounds like Adam doing a more current Daughtry/Cook song and the Queen like title track. It is a rare,rare occurrence for a song to grow organically. ITunes placement isn't going to make something like this happen, unless it is a situation like "We Are Young" and the song stays at #1 on the overall chart for several weeks without radio airplay. RCA isn't going to pull a bonus track for a single and send it to radio, but they could eventually choose the title track. If TSP was one of the best sellers, it could POSSIBLY send a message to the label. That's months from now, though. I'm not sure if Adam will do a mash-up or not on AI. Usually artists do those when they already have a current mega hit on radio, in a way to promote another song. It will be unusual for an artist to do this when they have a single that is just starting out on radio, but you never know about Adam!  I'm looking forward to whatever he surprises us with!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I don't think the single sales numbers acurately reflect the popularity of NCOE, partly because a lot of fans who already have it and now are buying Trespassing, are 'completing their album'. If I understand that counts as a +1 sale of Trespassing the album, but a -1 sale of NCOE and BTIKM (if they have that too). Also part of the popularity of Runnin' may be for people who have bought the standard album, and then added the song that many reviews mention as a standout in the deluxe version. Trespassing being popular is cool, and like tigerlily says, probably reflects that for those just picking and choosing songs in addition to the singles, it's a fave. |

I'm surprised Adam is up this early!
It's only 11: 20 in California
Hi Adam (I'm sure twitter keeps him plenty busy)

By the way, I emailed Sound Opinions last week to suggest that they review Trespassing. They thanked me for the idea and said they would mention it to the hosts of the show. They frequently review pop albums, particularly buzzworthy ones. I emailed Sound Opinions too after your post the other day, and got the same response. We've planted the seeds, whether they grow or not. |

rabbitrabbit - Thanks so much for the reminder. With yesterday's excitement and busy work day I missed a request cycle. I think the buzz about the album (followed by Idol performance) makes this a great time to communicate strong interest in NCOE to local radio - and while I am loving the great album feedback, the success of NCOE will still play a critical role in promoting and sustaining current momentum. Just look at how many commentators and Adam himself reference WWFM and the difference it made for FYE era. Anyway, I'm back on track in my requesting because I really want Adam to have a hit single to talk about in his Trespassing promo. I do think/hope NCOE will take off on its own once people hear it enough - but they have to hear it first. ~To InfinityandBeyond ( Congrats to everyone who got Costa Mesa tickets!!) Thanks to you! and everyone requesting NCOE. Yeah, it's probably the BEST way to extend interest in the album past the release week and keep the music at the forefront of people's awareness. It's a good time also when calling/emailing to mention that you just heard the song on Kimmel, or Good morning America, or on the iheart concert (lot's of stations carried that) and that you love the song. |
