I just put in my 500 votes for Adam as Must Follow Artist on Twitter, and for the first time I thought I'd take a look at the people against whom he's competing in that category. I literally don't know who any of them are except for Blake Shelton and Yoko Ono. No wonder radio stations don't care what I want to hear! I am so out of the loop! I don't think you are out of the loop. My reaction is WTF - Blake Shelton and Yoko Ono ( other than being married to John Lennon - who cares) - did not look at the others on the list but it is interesting how artists/celebrities are promoted. Adam has over 1.5 million followers now so if we can add to the numbers of people who might be curious and listen to his music, we are expanding his potential fan base and support sales. |

So they released a free download of BTIKM in the UK. And it seems to be getting some attention? I wonder if down the road they could try something like this in the US with the song Trespassing, but with a little push behind it. If it had some promo/ advertising, and then was just released for free for a limited period of time---do you think it could get some buzz/ more broad exposure this way? Could some momentum be built from this? Plus be a way of getting a really cool song out to more ears? I don't know, just a thought. What confuses me is that BTIKM is not the lead single in the UK. Weren't they told it would not make it in the UK? So, are they giving it away in a marketing technique to drum up interest in NCOE and the CD? Since it wouldn't sell anyway, give it away, and people realize this guy sounds good? Perplexing.
That's kinda what I thought. People see free and well.....might get some people who wouldn't listen to him to give it a listen? :-/ |

It is not on page 1 of Amazon MP3s and not being promoted on Amazon or on the radio. So how would anyone know to look for it? |

Maybe it's just me but, why does it seem like when he's here promoting, radio plays his songs and a little while after he moves on to some other part of the world lol. But then it's like ok done, ready for another song. I know Q102 plays NCOE. But I used to hear it on 98.5 KRZ when he was here for their radio concert and now, I don't hear it. Am I just missing it that much? :( No, you are not missing anything. NCOE is getting played to support radio events by stations -- both before the event and right after. But then the song needs to continue to get/hold listeners. NCOE is going to be the single thru the summer so it has a lot of time.
Thanx  98.5 KRZ was actually, the only radio station I, ever heard NCOE on during the day anyway. I'll admit it wasn't my 'favorite song' but hearing it performed live....it's grown on me I think it's such a summer song!!!! (fingers crossed) |

Q3 I get that sales aren't impressive. But, maybe offering something for free for a limited time--heck, even NCOE--might be a way of reaching new ears. At this point, Adam's songs just need to be heard. Maybe this would be a way of motivating new people to check out the song. I only mentioned Trespassing as something that might work down the road (actually, I think it would be the perfect song to try something like this with as it is the title track and something a little bit "different") I do realize NCOE is what's happening now. Fans are still supporting it. eta---didn't they do something like this with Kelly Clarkson a few years ago? You have to be careful with this. Many times when you offer things for free, it does nothing but devalue the product. There are free singles on iTunes all the time and those giveaways don't result in massive amounts of downloads. The thought of "why is it free" automatically pops into your head, which really isn't a good first impression. |

I did my 100 for 10 at 10 first thing this morning from bed. So easy because I used tip from here: ten tabs, vote, reload, next tab. Besides cutting down on reload time, it makes counting votes so easy. Before I would drift off and loose count. Will try to log in more throughout the day.
