A quick question: I remember there was an YT or vimeo of Shady with album track but pictures and video snippets from Nile's Shady Sessions, am I wrong? If I am wrong I can go ahead with audio YT and iheart performance and the funny rocker video to promote AL music to a friend who is an old rocker. If I am right I should continue to search... Thanks for your help! Sorry it took so long. I was interrupted. Is this the one?

I try to keep the calendar as up to date as possible with Adam appearances and links for more info when appropriate. If I am missing something please PM me so I can add it.
To see the calendar, look at the menu bar at the top of every page on ATop. One of the links listed is for the calendar.

When Adam has the #1 album, it will be a milestone for him. It will also be the first time an out gay has had a #1 album in the US. Something David Bowie never did. Elton John had 5 #1 studio albums -- last was in 1975 when he had two in one year. But after he came out, he never had a #1 album again in the US. This is a big deal for more than Adam. I'm confused by you using David Bowie as a reference...he might be bi-sexual but he's married to Iman and has been for over 20 years if memory serves.

File this under "cassie is the last to figure it out" along with my finally realizing Adam is talking about Marijuana seeds. Adam sings "I throw more shade than a cloudy day". One of the gay publications reviewing Trespassing mentioned that "throw shade" meant something in the gay community. So I hopped over to Urban Dictionary to find this: throw shade = to talk trash about a friend or aquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect. When throwing shade it's immediately obvious to on-lookers that the thrower, and not the throwee, is the bitcy, uncool one "How does Kimmy keep any friends? Last night at the party all she did was throw shade at people." I can't imagine Adam bragging about being bitchy and uncool, but maybe he's talking about the fierce attitude? Adam is writing about a "character" in that song, I doubt seriously if Adam is the type of man to trash people or spread rumors. Exactly. It IS a character – probably an exaggerated version of his club kid persona, but mixed in with other "types" he likely knows. These songs are autobiographical in concept, but I doubt literally. They're a compilation of experiences and feelings. And besides, "throw more shade than a cloudy day" SOUNDS good as a lyric. Anyone can add to Urban Dictionary and it's only one person's interpretation of the slang (why you get tons of conflicting definitions for almost every term). As we all know, slang evolves constantly and isn't used exactly the same in every sub-group. "Throw more shade" can mean I'm a fierce bitch and watch out!

Yesterday was so Bert-ful! My poor husband, who tolerates my Adam obsession even if he doesn't understand it, had a bit of an overdose of Adam yesterday. First, I've been talking about the album and how good it is. Then we were out at one of our big shopping malls yesterday, and he's confronted with a huge poster of Adam in the front window of HMV. Yay! Then we head over to the movie theater and WWFM is playing over the speakers in the theatre. Then later as we're heading home we turn on the car radio to hear the end NCOE and then the DJ goes on to talk about the trespassing contest they've just announced. Resistance is futile; Adam is everywhere! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have an answer to the question about how Neilsen Soundscan will count the Trespassing Box set. It is one album sale, the vinyl is a bonus.
Here is the rule: You may not report one album multiple times within one bundle. 'CD/Vinyl + Digital' bundles will earn one scan. (that is one unit of sale)
It will be counted as a CD sale.
----
But a reminder, Neilsen can unilaterally change runs whenever they want. They will not do it for something minor. But they did it for Gaga's $.99 Amazon albums. But then instituted a rule to block anyone else from charting with low price albums:
Here is the "official" rule
From Billboard, “Unit sales for albums priced below $3.49 during their first four weeks of release will not be eligible for inclusion on the Billboard album charts and will not count towards sales data presented by Nielsen SoundScan. The rule also applies to reissued titles.”
There is another rule that the discount cannot net exceed 50% of MSRP. And that remains unchanged,
So the Amazon sales should not have counted. But they decided that it would not properly reflect the popularity of Gaga's BTW if they excluded these sales. And it would have made the data less useful to music industry users -- their customers.
Somehow Gaga gets special treatment in many cases.

Why is it so important for Adam to have number 1 album in iTunes if only purchases done in the US count? Why so limited take of the album sales? Isn't he an international star and all the album selling around the world is telling about his popularity? I'm all for it that he gets a mention of having number 1 album, but the basis for this (only US sales and iTunes) is just beyond me. YES! someone eloquent please explain (put into words, I know why but having it reasoned it out helps.) , because it IS so very important!!! It's very simple. Only US iTunes sales count towards US Billboard album ranking. Adam wants #1 debut on BB chart. Wants it bad.

I just came from Target. I think there was 3 albums left on the shelf, (or was it 5?) anyway, 1-2 Deluxe, and 2-3 Standard I think. I picked up 1 of each. On the Deluxe label, there were rain check tickets, or whatever you call those. I wonder if it was just oddly placed for whatever music that needed a raincheck, or if the deluxe keeps selling out, so that they're on backorder or something.

Adam Lambert wants to help One Direction get ‘rocky’ on their next album! The boys from 1D have said that they want to toughen up their sound a bit for their second album and Adam Lambert thinks he has got the tracks for them! Adam, who is heading for the number one spot in the US album charts this week commented; “There’s a lot of songs that didn’t make the album that are really strong. We did some pop-rock stuff, so maybe one of these new boybands could do one.” When asked who he liked from the new breed of boy-band he said, “Those One Direction boys are cool. I’d love for someone else to sing some of those songs.”OMG.. I hope Simon's open minded enough to give a listen to Adam's songs... please Simon.. listen to his pop-rock songs.. Who else can give these boys a real pop-rock songs other than the current rocker, Adam Lambert who knows how to make his sounds current. ...can you imagine this scenario: Adam sends them his demo; they accept and record; Adam's demo leaks and of course his rendition is waaaay better... the demo goes viral... ;D I love EVERYTHING about last night's gig... just everything...The sound of the whole arena singing WWFM was incredible! It sounded beautiful - I got tears listening even with the screwed up sound... (and I don't like WWFM at all..)FANTABULOUS indeed!Someone commented re "ladies and gentlemen"... I kinda don't understand what is "wrong" with that? Is it not cool? Is saying "you guyz" the way to go? or Y'ALL??? Please enlighten me... 'cause I love when he does that! I love when he says "are you having fun" as well actually... nica, none of the songs Adam wrote ever leak .. original demo of Underneath was leaked he didn't write that demo. I think he got the songwriter credit for re-aranged the arrangement a bit. But what I can imagine if they take one of his song, is they fly Adam to London to work with the kids. And if the song become a hit, it's a validation of his songwriting skill. Just like Greg Walls said once, " what's most surprising of Adam is his songwriting skills" ;D
