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!

    From Tommy’s tumblr account:

    shellie-bells asked: Did any of you know Ashley or played with her before she auditioned for the band?

    She was in a band with a friend of mine at the time. He played me their music, I thought the bass playing was sick and I asked who it was. He told me about her, I asked him for her info, she auditioned, nailed it and Adam loved her! She fits in with all of us perfectly. Doesn’t seem like we just met her at all.

    Here’s a screencap of a twitter conversation.
    This guy is an aspiring cinematographer, but not shooting the video.

    cher I love the idea of popsicles!

    Calgary, texas

    I bought sugar-free popsicles at the time because I ate about 100 of them and felt guilty about the sugar intake!! Grin I was soooo hungry and my appointment wasn’t until 1:30pm the next day!!

    jlurksacto I got a new phone a few weeks ago – a droid I’m told- and am absolutely useless with it. Don’t ever plan to use the internet part of it. So many new things to learn! I gave up. I want my flip cell Cry phone back!! Waaahhh!!!

  6. Kradamour says:

    Thanks, jlurk, for the Tommy info re the new bassist. Have been wondering about that and hoping the new band would be as cohesive as the old one. Sounds like it is all good!

    Good Morning!

    Our one and only GlamazonToronto (who appears to make one and only 1 post every six months) Smile made the headlines on 24/7 after Tweeting about Adam appearing on Entertainment Tonight Canada.

    http://adamlamberttv.blogspot.com/

    Speculation immediately arose that maybe Adam would be in Toronto but that isn’t the case. ETCanada will interview him in LA.

    Have a great day everyone. Rose

    Chum FM in Toronto has played BTIKM about 5 times just this morning…I heard it while driving to work with my son…He said he really likes this song…He admits Adam is talented but wishes he was singing rock instead of pop…

    So happy…this was my first time hearing it on the radio, and it sounded amazing…

  9. rs says:

    Pressparty interview! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course the Glamberts crashed the site, but that was only to be expected, right?

    Don’t crash us again, Glamberts!!! Here goes everyone! pressparty.com

    BEAR with us everyone! We’re having technical issues due to an overload of traffic.

    What a great interview…Adam never disappoints. Such a incredible man…Extremely talented and smart…

    Adam + Ray Kay + BTIKM = EPIC AWESOME VIDEO

    http://adam-lambert-norway.tumblr.com/post/15403906133/adam-ray-kay-btikm-epic-awesome-video

    Can’t wait to watch the video! So exciting! Cool

  12. nkd says:

    Yay Ray Kay!
    FYE video was my favorite of the ones Adam has done so far.
    So excited!!!! Clap

  13. luval says:

    Oh boy!!!!! FYE was one of my favorite videos of all time…of any singer! Can’t wait to see what this team comes up with. I’m sure Adam will have a huge input.

  14. luval says:

    Haha nkd… We’re so alike!

  15. nkd says:

    Haha luval!
    FYE is also one of my favorites of all time, right up there with MJ’s Billie Jean.

  16. AL says:

    2012 prediction from http://www.theday.com

    — Frustrated by their inability to get Adam Lambert to replace Freddie Mercury, members of Queen will collectively sigh and agree to join Lambert as his backing band.

    http://www.theday.com/article/20120105/INTERACT010306/120109838

    If only that were true!

  17. luval says:

    I love Billie Jean too (and the video)…Saw the Jacksons on tour in the mid 80’s..4 rows from the front. Most unbelievable show ever. Michael was such a star. Like Adam is today, you could not take your eyes off of him. I don’t even remember the brothers on stage.

  18. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Yay Ray Kay!
    FYE video was my favorite of the ones Adam has done so far.
    So excited!!!!

    YES!!!! ME TOO!!! Laugh

  19. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    luval, I loved MJ too. I’m really sad that I never saw him perform live. Had I known then what I know now, I would’ve definitely spent whatever it took to see him. He was so special. I remember when he performed Billie Jean and did the moonwalk for the first time at the Motown 25th Anniversary show… Sparkly socks, the one glove – unforgettable! I listen to his Number One’s (can you imagine an entire CD of #1’s??) and Thriller CD’s quite often. Did you ever see “This Is It?”. It was amazing as well.

    But back to our “happy dance” – can’t wait to see what Ray Jay has in mind for this beautiful, emotional song. It’s gonna be special!!

  20. luval says:

    Here’s Ray Kay’s website. A snippet of FYE is approx 2:58.

    He certainly uses lots of “greens” and “tans” in his videos.

    Adam and Sauli won that VH1 FabLife “hottest couple” poll (against NPH and David Burtka). Adam and Sauli got 78% of the votes. Interesting thing about this is that over 30,000 votes came in from 89 different countries! Also, although it’s just a silly little poll, this suggests that the Fingate incident didn’t prevent Adam’s online fanbase from continuing to show strong support for their relationship.

    Big Smile Just received this from TLKC

    Eber signed a Twitition for Adam to sing in the Super Bowl and it showed up as a tweet. He tweeted sheepishly about not knowing that his signing would produce a tweet.

    It appears he’s always there for Adam. The Proud Papa.

  24. milwlovesadam says:

    A video today?? Yay!!! Ray Kay !! More Yay!!

    Ron, nice new avi! TeeHee, just WHOO is that sexy thang??

  25. Calgary says:

    Adam’s twitter following update: just before EMAs, he was at just under 1,240,000. Today he’s at 1,294,945!!!! Anybody want to bet he’ll make 2,000,000 by the year end?

  26. cwm says:

    Eber’s tweets:

    #Twitition Have Adam Lambert sing The National Anthem SuperBowl2012 twitition.com/5blwu

    milestougeaux Miles Tougeaux
    Didnt know signing meant tweeting… so much for discretion…

  27. Ron says:

    Hi mils!

    “Thang” just about sums it up. Smile That’s what happens when you have an afternoon to yourself, a self-timing camera, and you’re feeling silly. I ended up taking 37 photos. I deleted 34 of them in quick succession. Smile The avi survived and is my attempt at looking ‘fierce’. An exercise, I might add, in futility. ROTFL

  28. cwm says:

    Adam is now scheduled for Jay Leno on Jan 17! Wooooohooooo!! (Ellen on Jan 19)

    http://www.adamofficial.com/us/news

  29. Ron says:

    Thank you, cwm! What great news. I’m on the phone right now with luval and she fainted. Big Smile

  30. HK fan says:

    Hope the Leno and Ellen vids get posted quickly, I’m getting nervous already about him singing it life for the first time.

    Can’t wait to see what concept they have come up with for the video, whatever it is Adam is sure to look stunning, he’s so photogenic.

  31. Ceddies says:

    AL, did you just recently send out an email to Glampuzzlers? G-mail sent a notice that it may not have been from you as stated, but I felt it was so I opened it and replied. They said something about an authentication code not showing up on the mail. Hopefully it was you.

  32. AL says:

    AL, did you just recently send out an email to Glampuzzlers?

    Hi Ceddies!
    Yes, it was me. I’m not sure why g-mail is doing that now. One of these days, I’ll get a website set up so you won’t have to worry about authentication codes and emails from questionable g-mailers!

  33. Ceddies says:

    Whew, AL, that scared me for a minute. I don’t do so well with viruses and other inconveniences online, so thanks for verifying.

  35. JOJOSIE says:

    I think I need to stay away from MJ’s for the rest of the night as I might say something more to tick off some young posters over there. I was told that attending 5 Glamnation shows was excessive and fell into the demographics of Adam fans. More than two shows was excessive, pushing our way to the front, etc. We don’t give the young ones a chance but then stating that most younger fans couldn’t afford it. I had earlier mentioned that James Durbin was doing Conan this Thursday and I felt his audience was better for James than Adam. Younger and more male. This wasn’t well rec’d by all. I love seeing Adam on Leno and Ellen. Was surprised they are in the same week as it’s a long time till March and hope they spread his promo out some. Jimmy Fallon is a favorite of mine and I think Adam would be great fun on his show , but it is on so late, that I’d have to tape it. Time will tell where he shows up and a little suspense keep our interest peeked. Laugh

    Did you guys see the picture that accompanies Sauli’s latest blogpost? Good grief, Sauli, you’re killing me here!

    I’d say Adam and Sauli have both done alright. Wink

    And here are the latest numbers on BTIKM sales, from Brian Mansfield at USA Today:

    Speaking of Adam Lambert, I finally got those Better Than I Know Myself numbers for you. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Adam’s new single sold 38,800 downloads its first week out and 17,900 this past week, for a release-to-date total of 56,700. Sorry it took so long to get those figures, but I’m happy to pass them along now.

    I have no idea if this is good, bad or somewhere in between. Anyone? What are your thoughts eywflyer?

  47. Calgary says:

    cwm Real or shopped?
    I’m thinking shopped. Wouldn’t Adam have tweeted if it were real?

  48. jlurksacto says:

    Compare and make own conclusions:

    WWFM numbers for the first 4 weeks:

    Wk 1: 11,197
    Wk 2: 9,372
    Wk 3: 10,178
    Wk 4: 20,207

    Total: 50,954

    FYE sold 44k and WWFM 21k on their first two weeks.

  49. Ron says:

    That puts it in perspective for me, jlurksacto. Thanks very much. Looks like the single is doing very well!

  50. luval says:

    Good morning…

    The comments on 24/7 about the numbers for BTIKM are great. Here and there are sprinkled things like “not meeting the hype” and similar, but in general the majority feel these numbers are fine. The consensus is that requests to radio are the most important thing. I’ve tried on a couple of my local stations but it’s ridiculous. Either a busy signal forever or e-mailing requires that you sign up for this and that.

    Also in the comments is a “true” account of what really went down at Fingate..haha…seems neither boy remembers a thing…not even that there was an argument! You have to read it. Or I can bring it over here.

    Someone mentioned too that Cam’s band will be on Jimmy Kimmel…this coming week I think.
