The first month of 2012 finds Adam’s new single “Better Than I Know Myself” already making its appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, as we await the “official” radio add dates of January 23 (HAC) and January 30 (CHR). Hoping for much promo and excitement in the next few months as things build toward the release of Adam’s second album “Trespassing” on March 20. We should have a new tour to look forward to later this year as well! Enjoy the chat!

    Hello everyone, coming out of lurking to say Happy New Year to HKfan! I am guessing you are from HK and I was born there but left when I was 3. Also I love the album cover if that is it! He looks so hot and gorgeous!!

  6. rainbowgal4 says:

    Adam must have talked all day long with all the interviews he did. I feel like that little snowball at the top of the mountain just started to roll over the little ledge and it straight down from here! Again it will be some ride. The feeling of excitement is rumbling.

  10. rainbowgal4 says:

    OMG What a album photo. Wonder if Lee Cherry did this one. Those eyes go right through me.

  11. nkd says:

    He looks like he could go jump on his motorcycle or his hotrod car and run it right through all those barriers!

  12. glambotgram says:

    Thanks nkd for being our Internet ninjas. I don’t know how you do it.
    The album cover is beautiful. The Hair, the eyes, the lips, just OOFTA
    Love the striped nail. So much goodness it is hard to keep up.

  13. nkd says:

    I bet that photo came from the same photoshoot as the BTIKM cover. It looks like it could be the same jacket.
    It’s just awesome! It’s really hard to click away from those eyes to post here!

  14. Oksana2000 says:

    Our fears of Forrest Gump cover, Lego cover are put to rest!
    I am looking at child of Advocate cover and Glamnation Live cover.
    I would buy this album for picture cover alone.
    After all I bought Sleepwalker single just to look at Mr. October on the cover.. Smile

  16. HK fan says:

    Hi asiangurl, thanks for the new year wishes.
    You’re right I do live in HK, but I’m not Asian. I am a Brit that moved to HK nearly 15 years ago. My youngest 2 were born here, its home now. We’d like to stay here as long as we can, but who knows!! Where are you now if no longer in HK??

    Love, love, love the album covers. No one will be able to complain that this one is too campy….

  17. nkd says:

    Yes, Oksana, what a relief that we have hair on the cover photo! No Gump/Lego hair! Sweat Clap

    OMG — I take off for over an hour after my last post and come back to an album cover that is totally breathtaking and stunning!!! We need to see big posters of it in record stores and EVERYWHERE. He’s going to blow everyone away with this one. Wow, those piercing eyes….. Heart

  20. asiangurl says:

    Hkfan I lived in New York since I left Hong Kong. I have four kids of my own and my youngest is autistic. One girl and three boys. My daughter and I are the big adam fans. We love him!!

  21. fwachdr says:

    Mils said it all. I would buy 10 of those just for the cover! It is breathtaking!

  22. nkd says:

    Adam’s face with those eyes and that nose and the hair just falling onto the face, straight on staring you down!
    Who can resist? Then there’s music with that voice!
    I’m so flailing right now!

  23. HK fan says:

    Asiangurl, your daughter has good taste. As the mother of a special needs child too, I know it can get hard at times. you should post here more often, its a good place to get away from real life sometimes x

  24. milwlovesadam says:

    I’m split between Lyndsey Parker’s descriptions and wanting to take her clothes off listening to certain songs and the cover…… Gaaaaahhhh!!

    Must regain control……

    Those eyes…Trespassing into my soul….

    All the interviews….

    Sensory overload….worlds colliding….

  25. milwlovesadam says:

    Rumors he’s going to be on Idol.

    Hope it’s with Cuckoo. Or Shady.

    Oh wait. There would be a problem with the FCC. Stripping in the audience. Could be a problem.

    And I’m not just talking about Ryan!!

  26. nkd says:

    ET Canada check
    MTV
    VH1
    VEVO
    Access Hollywood
    Lyndsey Parker (is she still with yahoo music?)
    Extra
    Idolator.com
    All interviews today. Lots to look for in the next days.
    Byron Cooke on the 29th.
    Maybe BTIKM music video!

  27. nkd says:

    Shady may be too much for Idol! Steven might start stripping!

    And he is in Europe at the end of the week! More interviews and maybe video!

  28. milwlovesadam says:

    It’s a good thing I’m with C-Pap now.

    It’s good for the breathing.

    Is it March yet???????

  29. fwachdr says:

    nkd, saw your WTF bride picture–in that gown she may as well consummate the marriage on the altar–to Cuckoo, of course!

  30. asiangurl says:

    Hkfan I mostly lurk, been doing since adam on idol. Started on AO then mjs and now here. Could never get on mjs. Oksana saw your post on mjs and I thought the same thing It has to be yeahright. My youngest doesn’t talk much but he knows adam and can say his name.

  31. milwlovesadam says:

    Hey, did anybody notice that Sauli was wearing Adam’s Alexander McQueen scarf last night at the movies? And is Adam wearing his Mad World Skingraft jacket?

    I’m not sure about the jacket, but I did notice the scarf. They are seriously about the hottest couple I think I’ve ever seen!

    Hey, did anybody notice that Sauli was wearing Adam’s Alexander McQueen scarf last night at the movies?

    Yup, I posted that I thought it was the only thing in Adam’s closet that Sauli could wear lol…

    About the album cover…TOTAL TOTAL WIN! OMG could it be any betterer? I want my bedroom wallpapered with that! Damn that boy is fine!
    And he learns. No more weird and off-putting joke covers that no one really gets.
    Could a person with a Y chromosome buy this album? Hell yeah! The comment above about the type font is right on point.
    LOVE this! Wish it was an LP cover rather than a little bitty CD cover!
    Swooning off to bed now. Sweet Adam dreams, peeps! Smile

    Ron, just saw your post about the slowness on your PC since the countdown clock was added. Did you try closing your web browser and reopening, or rebooting the PC? Are you still seeing the slowdown?

    I was wondering if any other folks are seeing this effect? I know y’all like the clock but I don’t want the site to grind people’s PCs to a halt.

    This may have already been posted, but here is the Mediabase chart info for BTIKM from last Tuesday’s (Jan 17) update:

    LW TW ARTIST Song SPINS TW LW MOVE
    96 84 LAMBERT, ADAM Better Than I Know Myself 71 46 25 0.172

    So the song had 71 spins, gaining 25 from the previous week.

    The Mediabase Top 50 update from Monday (Jan 24) showed the #50 song with 382 spins, and the #40 song with 756 spins, so there is a long ways to go. The #1 song (Bruno Mars) had 13509 spins as of the Monday update.

    I believe that the “official” add or “impact” dates for both Pop (CHR) and HAC are now January 24th. So we’ll see what happens. BTIKM did get added to Sirius XM “20 on 20” last week. I’ll check the Mediabase add board next. Probably should set up a separate page to keep up with the single’s progress.

  37. nkd says:

    Today started out slow. We were discussing juicing and recipes, a couple of reviews, then ‘after movie’ photos came in. Tweets all day about interviews, then the ET Canada interview, then pow the album cover reveal! What a fun day in Adam fandom!

    I was thinking that if he got the call a week ahead for the Queen performance, then that couldn’t have been the poop, however poop worthy it was!
    Maybe Alisan glanced into the future and saw us all juicing! Grin

  38. Calgary says:

    I’m a little bit behind here but this is my first time online in a couple of days, and I wanted to share a great way to serve kale!
    cut all the thick stems oout of the kale leaves. Tear them into large-ish pieces. Take a big plastic bag – like a 9×12 ziploc – drop in the leaves and a tablespoon or so of olive oil, some salt, and any other herbs you like. Shake the bag for a couple of minutes to coat the kale with oil. Dump the leaves onto a cookie pan and bake in the oven at about 375-400 for about 10 min or just until crisp. As soon as you see any signs of browning, it’s time to take the pan out. You’ll end up with super light crispy kale ‘chips’ – YUM! Even my husband the non-veggie eater likes them!

    Dish of Salt interview. 3 parts so far. Look to the right side for the others.

  40. nkd says:

    Almost done with video!

    Ray Kay @Ray_Kay
    “@TheSpindleshay: I wonder if @adamlambert and @ray_kay are almost done fussing over that Better Than I Know Myself vid.” Yes, almost done!

  41. eywflyer says:

    I’ve added a separate page for Trespassing sales & airplay info:

    http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2012/trespassing-salesairplay-info

    This prompted a reorganization of the top level menus above. “Non-Tour Gigs” was consolidated under the “Glam Nation” menu with all of the other performances from that era. A new “Trespassing” top level menu has been added to contain info & performances (hopefully concert threads eventually) from the new era. So far, the only item under the Trespassing menu is the Sales/Airplay page linked above.

  42. turquoisewaters says:

    Between all the reviews and the album cover, I feel the urge to preorder half a dozen more albums.

  43. adamized says:

    Hello peeps. Just a quick drop in to say that I love, love, love the ET Canada interview, the album cover, and all the positive reviews coming out of the UK. Am so looking forward to this album and seeing our BB hard at work again.

    Got to go back to work but the end is in sight. By this Friday I will be able to stop working 24/7 and get back a bit of my life as an Adam addict.

    Take care.

  44. luval says:

    Hi Adamized! Nice to see you posting!

    Like oksana2000 said (and I posted the same thing last night), the album cover is kind of a cross between The Advocate cover and GN feathers cover. Just beautiful. Showed a couple people here at work and they swooned! One if them even asked about pre-ordering and they never bought FYE.

  45. rainbowgal4 says:

    eywflyer I’m on a Mac and an Ipad and I don’t notice any slow down. Thanks for setting up for now the “numbers” thread. Will make it much easier to watch the progress instead of digging through the wonderful posts.

    I just went and pre ordered more albums. I went through my Christmas list and added. I guess they will all be surprised to receive Easter gifts this year! I am so excited for this to finally make it’s way out to us. It truly feels like waiting for Christmas when I was a kid.

    Now out to shovel me some snow! Big Frown

  46. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    I just went and pre ordered more albums.

    rainbowgal4, that’s so funny – I ordered two more this morning myself! I guess that album cover just sent us over the edge (it’s the eyes, I just know it!)

    eywflyer, I’m on an Apple and don’t notice any slow down either. Thanks for adding the countdown clock – LOVE IT!

  47. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    So, I was just watching the ET Canada video, and I wonder if any of you noticed the song playing in the background while Adam was talking about his collab with Pharrell? Sure sounds like Adam, and it’s a tune I’m not familiar with …

    Scroll down to the “aired version” – at the 1:57 mark.

  48. cwm says:

    I absolutely love the album cover! Adam looks amazing. And the whole look and feel of it really fits with the theme of the album as he has described it. So happy for Adam that he got to be Creative Director, in addition to Executive Producer, and work with Lee Cherry for all of the photography and art on the album. Between those two, you know it’s going to be magic!

    MTV UK just posted the album on their site, and they included this lovely comment:

    we were treated to a five-track preview the other day and we’ve got to say, we’ve not had this good a feeling about an album since we heard an advance copy of 21 by Adele.

    http://music.uk.msn.com/features/adam-lambert-reveals-new-album-artwork

    Now we just need to see BTIKM getting played on the radio and moving up the charts. C’mon radio stations – play that song! Next up: music video & more interviews coming our way.

    eywflyer – I’m on a PC and I’m having no problems with the site slowing down.
