Adam is in a very high stress period of his career. So many things that are happening have two sides to them.
For example -- he will be performing with Queen. An amazing opportunity for him and delightful to many of his fans. I know he will be brilliant. But I also know that he will not be perfect and that everyone will not like his take on this music.
I choose to focus on the positive. On the brilliant parts of what is happening for Adam. I am not delusional and I know that many things are important to building a successful music career -- but there is not one path to success -- there are many paths.
***
Look at the airplay. Adam and RCA are going to have to work to move NCOE up the chart. There is no magic check that can be written to get a song on the radio -- and many of the backdoor ways around the laws have been closed down. Adam is battling against a lot of established Top 40 artists. I choose to focus on the great spins NCOE got last night and I have faith in this song and RCA promo and Adam.
But if NCOE does not breakthrough on radio -- what happens that is so bad? Nothing. Adam will have another single.
Yes, request. Yes, vote. But then take a deep breath and have some fun.
The only thing I worry about is that fans will start to get discouraged and burn out --- and we have a lot of more important things to do in the near term. Like get NCOE to #1 on VH1 once released there.

OK, so I was watching NCOE on VEVO, and noticed that below the song, there is no link to buy it? 1,174,087 Views 24,421 likes, 529 dislikes As Seen On: Just JaredWTF??????? Major Marketing Blunder, how in the world did this get overlooked? Do we know anyone in Adam's management that we can contact that can fix this? Here is BTIKM: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg31XQR22zg&feature=relmfuBTIKM Official VEVO Music Video 7,033,138 views 71,394 likes, 1,902 dislikes Artist: Adam Lambert Buy "Better Than I Know Myself" on: Google Play, iTunes, AmazonMP3 From the BTIKM vid, I clicked on "Watch NCOE now" and got to this link at VEVO, which shows the vid in wide screen at the VEVO site, very awesome!!!!! If yall haven't seen it, check it out! www.vevo.com/watch/adam-lambert/never-close-our-eyes/GBE431200046?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=watch&utm_campaign=WP_AdamLambertNeverClose&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=watch&utm_campaign=WP_AdamLambertNeverClose#/watch/girlicious/like-me/USUV70801114Please take a deep breath. It is not a major marketing blunder. They are working on getting exposure -- and not concerned about sales right now.

Like get NCOE to #1 on VH1 once released there. I actually worry a bit of him burning out, he's young but, everyone has their peak that they hit when things become too much at one time. Hope he knows when to sloooow down (not sure when that will be, lol.) As long as he's happy! :( It's only going to get 'better' from here. He seems to have everything he's ever wanted now. From the music to the personal stuff, I just don't want to see him get hurt. I think he needs to grab Sauli as soon as he gets a break and slip away to an island somewhere to recharge 8-)

I don't think it's available yet to buy that's why no link.

please give the NCOE video some hits on kiss108 boston site! they still have not added, even tho he performed at their freaking spring concert ??? ??? www.kiss108.com/main.htmlAlso, can you please fill out their request page if you live anywhere near New England. Q3 has it on the front. Kiss 108fm is the 10th biggest station in the country. So need them to add it there. They did not add BTIKM. We need this one and Z100NY. NO NO NO NO -- PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THIS UNLESS YOU ARE LOCAL!! IT IS A WASTE OF TIME. LOCAL REQUESTS ONLY FROM KISS108!!!! LOCAL PLAYS ONLY!!! ********** This is not the 10th largest station in the US -- Boston is the 10th largest market in the US. In the last Arbitron Rating 8.6% of the radio listeners in metro Boston listen to KISS108FM. The Boston media market is 4,012,500 people. The #1 market New York is 15,573,500 people -- and because it is a much larger market, 14 NY stations have more listeners than KISS108 including two Top40 Stations -- Z100 and WKTU (which is almost as big as Z100). 8 stations in LA are larger. ETC. ETC. ********* If you want to help Adam -- local requests plus a few very important items on page one.

Sort of doesn't make sense, but it sort of does at the same time.

Ahhhhh, Q!Always the voice of reason and a clear understanding of all this promo stuff. So glad you are here! thanks, chilling now.................... eta: I don't worry about fans burning out, I see Adam getting new fans with all these radio concerts he has done in the past couple of weeks. The die hards have been with him from the beginning, and will always be there for him. It was the core fan base that got Trespassing to #1, and we won't abandon him now. If anything, I think we will all work just a little harder to help get NCOE on the radio. The master has commanded "WERK" and werk we will. This is what I am doing: Some of you know I have a 22 year old son, and he has lots of friends, and I am posting NCOE on all of their facebook pages. That will get this song out to a lot of young people that he knows (he has 800 friends on FB) Of the 30 of his friends that I am friends with there, all those 30 friends also have their own groups of friends. I am also going to gift NCOE to some of them. Right now, I think the best thing we can do is continue the "grass roots" effort to spread this song (and the album) out to everyone we know, and get more people hearing it and liking it. It is a great song, and there is no reason it shouldn't be played and go straight up the charts. JMHO.
