Since a Maxi Single is a Single with more than the usual a-side b-side 2 songs then the only thing I can figure is that the physical EP is being classed as a maxi single and the inclusion of the free download available on the 16th allowed it to chart on the current chart rather than having to wait until the actual physical copies shipped. It's the only thing that would explain both the Hot Single Sales and Hot Dance Single Sales chart positions. This is interesting, I wonder if they only counted the physical EP sales towards the Hot Single Sales charts then and didn't include downloads? I didn't buy a physical copy but would have if I'd known it could help, lol. I wonder how close that #2 was to a #1?

Mika I am kicking myself that I didn't get the chance to meet you at the DC benefit. I was there by myself, and had a wonderful time cheering myself hoarse and jumping, but meeting you would have been icing.
Just peeking in and commenting somewhat randomly based on questions raised in recent posts.
This really resonated for me juniemoon. I am out as an Adam fan to people in my RL. Generally I find that if I am there in the moment for them, if I’m interested in their passions and give a listen to a new group they love, if they understand that they come first in my affections and my time, that they are there in the moment for me if I want to share something Adam-y.
There are a couple of strategies that I have found non-effective or detrimental in contributing to my own creative process or life happiness. One is looking toward the past as a golden age rather than embracing the possibilities and marveling at/enjoying the present. When vocal members of a community reject learning about and listening to the present with an open mind and ears, I tend to conserve my energy and back away.
The other is looking towards the future like an odds-maker, forever hedging bets or handicapping the odds of one’s own or Adam’s career and artistic development. When vocal members of a community develop well worn cycles of angst and or every Adam accomplishment is buried under a wish or hope or caveat, or ‘some day’ or ‘if this happens’ or ‘if only this had been different’ (then what, then some invisible receding threshold of validity will have been reached and one can sit back and start enjoying?); I tend to back away.
Luckily there are Adam fan places including of course twitter, where ‘in-the-moment’ celebration dominates other modes of expression. I enjoy being an Adam fan, I enjoy Adam, and it’s more important for me personally to continue finding places were fanning is a supportive and uplifting activity for me, and therefore (since it keeps me requesting and buying and tuned in because I deeply appreciate all the free joy he’s handing out) for him.

Does the email that you gift to have to be a registered itunes account? I ask because I have several email addresses but only one that's registered to itunes.... I do not know because I have not tested this. I am sure someone else knows. No it doesn't, I gifted it to an alternate email account I had that was not linked to any itunes account. When I clicked to redeem the code it prompted me to log into my itunes account (and it didn't matter which itunes account I logged into) and then downloaded just fine.So this is an easy way to buy the EP on itunes and not mess up your single track buys from earlier.
It's also an easy way to gift yourself the single track more than once (say if you wanted to buy it again around PLL time). Bottom line you can gift from itunes to any email address, it doesn't have to be linked to an itunes account. The person who downloads needs to have at least one US itunes account that they can log into of course. eta: modified because i haven't had coffee yet lol

I've donated and emailed my iTunes email address to requestadam to be available for power downloading, but haven't gotten any response yet. Anybody else? I have to go to work soon, so will be unable to download until tonight. You have checked the inbox of the email address you gave them? I had some gifts waiting for me to download from them this morning. I was also able to gift myself the remix ep from itunes separately from buying the trespassing individual songs on itunes. I just sent it as a gift to an alternate email address I had, and then downloaded it from there using one of my itunes accounts. No prompts about completing the album appeared.

Q3 I'm a little confused by the top post suggestion to wait on buying the radio edit (and other single song versions) of Trespassing until it moves higher on itunes (spurred by eventual radio play?? i'm not sure what else besides fan buying would impact this) and to buy the EP first (but not from itunes) instead. RequestAdam requestadamlambert.com/ says that they received confirmation from Adam's team to focus on the Trespassing Radio edit vs. the EP in the first day or two of sales. Their fan gifting campaign (which is in conjunction with the one at Adamstorm I think) is focusing on single gifting first. Of course if one can buy both, that's great but waiting on buying the single seems to run counter to these other fan initiatives.

that's a great option....if one has Spotify.
I have it but it keeps giving me an error code. I've been fooling with it for too long & getting frustrated so imma stay with the Vevo one. And here's what is probably a really dumb question - if you play Tsp on loop on Spotify from your own playlist does it count? Really don't understand it. Obviously. ???I had that but it was a firewall thing. Once I toggled it as safe to go through it was fine. I think every play contributes to the spotify popularity bars, but I'm not sure.

I am frustrated with trying to request from Fresno because I have been calling their hot request line and it is never answered. I call several times a day. Why I am frustrated is that my cell has a Fresno area code though I don't live there so I would appear local. I can't use it for texting because my daughter has me on her plan and knowing my tech skills did not get me texting capabilities. I have been tweeting them because I am a little over two hours away which seems pretty close to me. Maybe I am just calling at the wrong time. I will keep trying. In my city I have had the most luck getting through when I call late at night or early weekend mornings, but I think it's mostly just luck of the draw. *goes to stare at the inrock pic some more*
