The promo for this single was interupted by the holiday. I am expecting things to kick in next week. Really, I am a big angster (is that a word?) and I am going to be very Zen until the 3rd week of January. I'm thinking they set the album date and then worked backwards. Having the single add date at two months is what they wanted. Can't do that and give the song to the stations on Jan 9th (they'd have to wait till next week as we've seen a lot of pds were still gone this week). That would only give them a 2 week lead time to add date and the spins would have been weaker than they'd like. The pre-xmas release allowed people to touch, a few to spin, and I think as the spins have come in today etc. that the momentum is building. What do I know but this sounds completely reasonable to me. I assume all that's happening now is some taste testing and early adopting by some stations, and look for a sharp increase in official promo stuff right around the impact dates myself.

I will never understand why Brian Mansfield at USA Today is such a passive aggressive asshole when it comes to Adam He gave the single numbers THIS week (but not last week even though I'm sure they were available to him) and had this to say about Adam: All the Idol tracks in SoundScan's list of the 200 top sellers saw double-digit percentage increases in their weekly sales. One track absent from the top 200: Adam Lambert's Better Than I Know Myself, in its second week of release.I really despise him. I don't see a problem with what Brian said. It is the 2nd week of release. It is not in the Top 200. Sure it brings the haters out and they start calling the song a flop, but I have no doubt we will have the last laugh. If this song isn't huge, I will eat my hat!! Exactly, and he only mentioned it because he knows he has a lot of Adam fans following and he wanted to explain why he didn't have numbers IMO. I think he can only get numbers under the Top 200 for country and other specialized segments. It doesn't necessarily even mean Adam's sales were bad this week, someone was saying the top 200 song sold around 20k last week. ETA: oh and pi I'm totally with you on the green smoothies, yummy and fill me with energy!

No, she DIDN'T recant. She just didn't confirm or deny. She's very good and is a master of the tease (which is largely her job – to keep interest piqued). The rumor would be very easy to deny if completely unfounded. She'd likely say, "What? Hahaha! No, that's not true." Just like she categorically denied that "Cuckoo" was Claude's song. With Queen, she had said there was a MAJOR performance that was going to happen. @ shoshannastone I am officially ridiculously excited for the EMA's now. There will be a performance which will blow everyone away including me! Then when people were asking her about it, she said, "I didn't even say it was one of my clients." (Trying to pull the original tweets up, but the Twitter archive is taking forever to load ...) But that was her "denial." It was still keeping the rumors alive, but not confirming or denying. Yes, recant is not the right word. But it seems she only understands the impact of what she tweets after she gets the replies, and then she's busy doing "damage control". And her "teasing" isn't pleasant to me. I don't know, Adam's teasing is always pleasant. Hers seems childish somehow. Not that it matters, JMO. JMO but I think she is very aware of what she tweets and how it is worded (nothing is accidental, and follow up tweets are just to tweak the interpretation of the rumor or keep it going) and is purposefully stirring the pot, inviting speculation and fan excitement. Whether one finds that kind of hinting more akin to teasing, i.e. whether it is fun or annoying to you seems to me basically a matter of personal preference.

Late and dead thread but I also found the DDD Adam thread interesting and valuable in the past as a lurker, and the posters knowledgeable on the whole. I haven't given up hope that once more new Adam live performances start rolling in, it may get interesting again even if a lot of scrolling around 'the elephant in the room' is required. midwivespal - your quote has always been perfect, and now even more so! Adam would play a good Byronic hero, until he broke character and cracked himself up

I never knew that Huffington Post is a gay site. I still think it marginalizes gay artists. Why not a poll for all artists. Surely their gay readers do not just listen to gay singers. Or "queer" as they say. Still hate it. Hit my last nerve. It's Huff Post's "Gay Voices" section. IMO it's about celebration, not marginalization. It's nice that Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and Adam are on it, but really it's more important for the lesser known artists on the list who make great music but are often ignored by the mainstream music press to get coverage and support.
