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!

    Oksana, I believe jlurks wanted to let you know that he agrees with your post. Wink

  3. asifclueless says:

    mils … It’s time for your list, please.
    Every part of his body ..eyes, nose, lips, neck, legs and the other one. His clothes and accesories..,

    Seriuosly, we have had “best of”lists galore, on Mj’s and here.

    Maybe we need a new diversion. Is it even possible, but, dare we even try a “most gorgeous” list??

    I nominate this for “best eyes.”

    What else, we’ve done best hair. We’ve done best pants. Even best shoes, of sorts. Best shirt?

    Bring it in, mils!!!

    Thanks for the info. of KC ….nkd.
    Yes, I know some of their songs.

    I thought that you probably knew their songs and I certainly didn’t mean to sound condescending.
    I just thought I’d get it all in one post, just in case! Kiss

    Or, perhaps Sauli has more than one running buddy – LA’s a big place, lol!

    omg, I could eat everything on that menu. I’m vegetarian and it’s so hard to find good food around here.

  10. asifclueless says:

    Haha… nkd …It’s my bad.
    I didn’t mean that. I was attempting to be funny but didn’t finish the sentence.

    It was supposed to be … “Yes, I know of their songs because my MOTHER told me about them.” (As if I was only 10 yr old in the 70’s.) …. NOT…I’m prolly older than you and a lot of people here.

    nkd, Please, please, tell me that you get me now. Please tell me you are OK. It was my major FAILED joke.

  11. asifclueless says:

    nkd … I looked at the menu from Cafe Gratitude,
    I found I’m grateful, I’m energized, but I can’t find I’m glowing.

    Has anybody seen it?

    And from the menu ..Can I have Now I’m Broke?

    Geesus.
    Would airplay on NZ LiamMcEwan’s radio hours count toward promo? In US? Some peeps should have their head examined.

    This is what I don’t get. Maybe someone here can help.
    We have been told that the radio adds date is later this month. Why are peeps even ranking the song before then?
    Consider me totally confused. From MJ’s…

    Adam Lambert – “Better Than I Know Myself” – Available Everywhere!
    by MJ on 12/19/2011 · 344 COMMENTS · in ADAM LAMBERT, AMERICAN IDOL
    Adam Lambert’s NEW single, “Better Than I Know Myself” is available for download today! The new tune, being spun already on radio stations across the country, has a radio adds date of January 23 for Hot Adult Contemporary and January 30 for Pop.

  24. luval says:

    Oksana…yeah, mj’s was depressing…had to get out of there. sigh…..

  25. riskylady says:

    Strange, because just yesterday he got 7 adds, and just now on Twitter I saw that CHUM, the largest in Canada, has added the song and already played it. In fact, several stations that haven’t formally added the song have played it too. So, they are playing the song BEFORE adds – how is that bad? And all the iheartradio’s are streaming it on their sites.

    Byroncooke Byron Cooke @adamlambert fans I just pulled up airplay chart #btikm already spinning “ATB” in SF, Houston, Minneapolis 3 WEEKS b4 the add date!

    Adds yesterday:,
    Kelly (16)-WDKY (2 Canada-HAC, 8 CHR/Pop, 6 HAC)
    Kelly (8)-MKIA (6 AC, 1 HAC, 1 CHR/Pop)
    Adam (7)-BTIKM (1 Canada-HAC, 4 HAC, 2 CHR/Pop)

    The song is getting lots of buzz, great reviews, mentions on many playlists. And formal promo, adds, hasn’t begun yet.
    Also, internationally, great reception, good presales, good iTunes positions in many places.
    I think RCA knows what they’re doing, and Adam’s management hasn’t done such a lousy job with Katy Perry, so they also must know what they’re doing.
    Those butthurt people on MJs will NEVER NEVER say anything good about Adam, that’s why I only read the intelligent comments and mentally discard the garbage.

  26. cwm says:

    To be fair, only ONE poster on today’s numbers thread at MJs predicted “flop” because BTIKM fell out of the top 200 (as we all figured it would until promo performances and radio adds and spins start up). The vast majority of posters at MJs are taking a zen approach to it (including non-Adam fans), realizing that we are currently in a holding pattern until the promo starts up in earnest later this month.

    dcglam — the official adds date for BTIKM is Jan 23 for HAC and Jan 30 for pop. Promo will be built around that schedule; I expect it to start next week-ish. But the stations were given the song back in December so they could start spinning it if they wanted (to get familiar with it, test audience reaction, etc.), and some stations have already added it in advance of the adds date.

    ETA: riskylady – Great minds. Smile I agree!

  27. riskylady says:

    Just let me add, everyone already knew (this from MJs) that initiallly sales would peak and then go down, because mostly fan purchases. But, that won’t stop radio, which is slowly growing, and I think will continue slow growth until Jan. 23rd, as PDs and DJs seem to like the song.

  28. dcglam says:

    Thanks, cwm. It just doesn’t seem fair to me that a song without formal radio adds is ranked and being compared to songs that have those “formal” radio adds. The whole system stinks, IMO…. LOL

    On the other hand, get moving on that promo, Adam!! Wink

  29. cwm says:

    dcglam – They’re just raw sales numbers; not filtered for how long a song has been out, radio adds vs. no radio, promo vs. no promo. It’s the interpretation of the numbers that needs to be done thoughtfully with regard to where a song is in its lifecycle.

    That’s how you can tell the intelligent, thoughtful posters on the numbers threads at MJs from the butthurt ones. The butthurt ones see a piece of data, jump to conclusions, and spout off declarations without consideration of the nuances of how to interpret the data. The intelligent, thoughtful ones have an understanding of how the music industry, radio play, and sales figures work and generally have a much more reasoned approach to interpreting the numbers. I’ve learned a lot from them.

  30. riskylady says:

    LOLOL, cwm, when I read “zen approach,” I just pictured sharks swimming slowly in circles around future prey. The frenzy will begin when the promo/adds/spins kick in.

  31. cwm says:

    Yep, riskylady, I think we should all breathe deeply, center our chi, and fasten our seatbelts, because it’s gonna be a wild ride. Big Smile

    And we need to be clear with ourselves about whose opinions matter and whose don’t, because when it comes to Adam, there is no shortage of opinions! And there is no point in worrying about negative opinions from those whose opinions really don’t matter anyway.

    Hi, luval, I was thinking we had seen that picture in the People magazine article back in 2009. I went and pulled out my magazine. There is a pic there in the gold suit, but the female is not in the one in the magazine. Forgot to look if it is the same pose but maybe with the other person taken out for the article.

  34. luval says:

    Riskylady and cwm…you two (among others here) are the voices of reason. And I thank you for that!

    Love your Adam moment Calgary!

    Ceddies, the hair, the gold jacket and shoes does have that People magazine vibe.

  35. adamized says:

    Happy New Year everyone! Wanted to let you know I am still alive and well just totally bowled over by RL right now. Miss you guys and reading the posts but I feel like if I start reading, I won’t stop and I don’t have the time right now. Don’t worry I’m keeping up with Adam’s stuff via twitter which takes less time and I can do on my phone from work (sshh! don’t tell).

    Hope I haven’t missed anything too juicy in regard to you lovely posters.

    Please keep the home fires burning. Be back in a couple of weeks after things calm down.

  36. milwlovesadam says:

    Ceddies, def People, when he was jumping. The other person is probably a stylist.

    Um. For what it’s worth, haha, I also had a fast and cleanse last week and then, um, “glowed”.

    Haha. In the radiology department. First , um, procedure, to, um, check out my, um, intestines. “Crap”, it’s tuff being 29.

    Gotta say, after it was all over, the feeling of being cleansed, and fasting with liquids only, felt pretty good. So I get what Adam was saying.

    It does seem like Sauli is affecting Adam in the health department.

    So, now that he’s cleansed, glowing, eating healthy, possibly abstaining from alcohol with Sauli for January. It’s time to get down to bizzness.:

    Make a video. Or two, for the next hit single off Trespassing.
    Take many many many pictures in fabulous outfits.
    Give many many interviews and be charming, funny, giggly and articulate.
    Sell gazillions of BTIKM.
    Sing the National Anthem at the Superbowl.
    Get your picture taken with the Packers.
    Have GN Live play on VH1 Rock and Roll Picture Show.
    Plan a healthy February.
    Hire dancers for the next tour.
    Book several nights in Milwaukee.
    Personally invite super-fans ( Ahem, Hint: Mils) to come backstage).
    Sell gazillions of Trespassing.
    Receive Platinum award on Idol.
    Pose for cover photo for Rolling Stone. Nudge out Gaga from her 10th cover in 2 years. She’s had her turn.
    Go on tour. Stun and dazzle us again. And again. And again.
    Raise oodles of money for charity.
    Win award after award after award.
    Be voted Time Magazine’s Person of the Year.
    Push the button in Times Square for the ball to drop and kiss Mayor Bloomberg. Smack on the lips.

    That’s all. Not too much to expect is it? ( Grinning sheepishly ).

    Damn that english language…Hi yourself jlurksacto, if you’d ever read your texts. Your phone thrown down in the closet or Prius trunk again?

    Now you want me to monitor it???

  38. cwm says:

    Awesome list, as always, mils!

    You forgot just one thing: Sell gazillions of Trespassing!

  39. luval says:

    There’s a new guy working on my floor and this doctor who knows my Adam obsession says to me “hey, the new guy looks like your Adam.” Now this guy is tall, black spikey hair, handsome, nice eyebrows…but dark brown eyes! Yup, eye candy but he’s no Adam!!!

    Right, and I do get this as do most of Adam’s die hard fans. Unfortunately, there are many other peeps out there who are looking at these numbers totally unaware of the fact that there has been absolutely zero promo and no formal radio adds. That is my concern and the reason why I wish those numbers were not there just yet. Anyway, it is what it is!

    Happy New Year to you, too, Adamized! I’m glad to hear you are doing well and hope that things will calm down a bit for you very soon. Blowing Kisses

    Sing the National Anthem at the Superbowl.
    Get your picture taken with the Packers.

    Mils, I assume you will be part of that picture as well?!?! Wink

  42. luval says:

    haha…I wasn’t sure what you guys meant when you said he was jumping!

    btw…the new guy has never heard of Adam Lambert. -Frown

    $400 for 5 days of juice.
    Ah, a cleansing of the wallet at the same time as the body is cleansed…
    Impressive. Chic

  44. milwlovesadam says:

    List stands corrected. Thanks.

    Thanks for the People picture, yup, JUMP! Egads. Those if you can call them “pants” are painted on!! Somebody really did their homework on Adam for those shoes. Just sayin’.

    The thing about the Packers is, even though I don’t watch the games, virtually EVERYONE else does unless they are in a coma, but, even then, the hospital visitors are watching!! It is a true phenomenon. Packer fever is just every-the frick-every where. I work in a hospital. In ICU. In brain injury rehab, in the coma unit, and on game day, it’s just unbelievable. Packers, Packers, Packers.

    So, yes, even I, would pose with the Packers. If Adam was next to me. Tee Hee.

  45. milwlovesadam says:

    luval what new guy?

    mils, your comment inspires me! Today, I cancelled my “cleanse” appointment for next week – I know I need to, I just don’t wanna… But after I get it over with, I won’t have to worry about it again until I’m “39”!

    Great to hear from you, adamized! Hope your RL settles down in time to flail with us here in a couple of weeks.

    And Calgary

    Don’t you know by now that no Adam moment is too little or vague??? Thanks for sharing!

  48. milwlovesadam says:

    Calgary, I liked your story. Very cute.

    Texas, please re-schedule your appointment. It’s just not that bad. More nerves about the prep than it was worth. Just be sure to tell everyone you know that you won’t be available while prepping!! No calls. No visitors. Egads.

    For my clear liquids the day before, I had sugar free lemon jello and also sipped on hot Swanson chicken broth. Never even felt hungry. Had some apple juice too. Good luck to you!
