After what has seemed like an eternally long wait since Adam’s Glam Nation/FYE era ended, we have finally arrived at May 2012 – the month that Adam’s new album “Trespassing” will be released! The album will drop in the U.S. & Canada on May 15th. Lucky fans in New Zealand & Japan will get the album a few days earlier on May 11th, Australia & Germany a few days later on May 18th, while some other European countries (U.K., Ireland, France) will have to wait until July. In addition to the album release, we can look forward to three concerts with Adam headlining this month, the KRZ Summer Bash in Wilkes-Barre PA on May 25th, at Six Flags New England on May 26th, and the Freshtival in National Harbor MD on May 27th. We will also see Adam perform on American Idol May 17th, will have the official push of “Never Close Our Eyes” to pop radio beginning on May 29, and may see the music video for NCOE later this month as well!
Our featured photo for this month’s chat comes from Adam’s mini-concert of April 26th on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
It’s going to be an exciting month as we begin the Trespassing era, enjoy the chat!

I’m not feeling bad as much as I’m disappointed with the first sales figures.
Much, much more important than anything else for wanting Adam to be at #1 is that he would make history. He would be the first openly gay male to ever release a CD and have it go to #1 on Billboard after its first week in release!
56% In ADAM’S # 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful sight!

Adam is #1!!!
OMG….to see it in print!!!!!!! TLKC YOU ARE GENIUS!!!!!
This was a tweet by Sauli from a couple of hours ago:
saulikoskinen @saulikoskinen1
Yllätys nro 1! http://fb.me/1lCmdPS3T
Wonder what it says????
Ron…why am I not getting block quote?
yay yay yay yay yay yay NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!!! Wake up everyone…..Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!
Could that change later on?
A message to me from eywfler:
Ohhhh – dear god – is it true?
A beautiful sight indeed!!!!
This is exactly the spot where I feel that Adam belongs. I am one very happy Adam stan right now.
YAY NUMBER ONE!!!!! YAY, I KNEW IT!!!!!!
I wish we were all together so we could jump up and down screaming – have to do it all by myself here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ultimathule…..
We are all there jumping up and down with you, my dear!
Here’s something positive from a poster at MJs….
ETA: What she means is that Adam’s number will most likly increase, as will the others, but according to those in the know, most will track in the same positions.
IM JUMPING, LIKE ADAM SAYS JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well we sweated this out didnt we, and it was worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!! I was so disappointed when I checked in earlier and Adam was at #5, but decided to take a quick peek and now find the news I was hoping for: NUMBER ONE, BABY!!!!!! dcglam, you’re exactly right – if a CD ever deserved #1, Trespassing is it!! So happy for Adam and can’t wait to read his next tweet!!
Okay now….. to answer luval’s question – it is not over. There are still 44% of distribution channels to report and so it’s still a race.
The things we don’t know: has AO reported it’s sales yet? Who else has to report? Sauli obviously knew a couple of hours ago based on his Finnish tweet, which someone just noticed. (Adam has to know the AO pre-sell figures and maybe there has been some back-channel communication between iTunes and RCA.) Pop Dust obviously knows something too.
Here’s the thing though – we are a long way from 70-80,000 so there are some pretty big unit sales to come in for all 3 artists.
I had Adele projected at 35% back-end after 2nd report which would put her at a total of 45-46,000 total. I had Carrie at a 26% back-end after 2nd report which would put her at 43,500 total. Obviously not the case, since there a lot of 60-65-70-80,000 figures being bandied about so we’ll have to sit tight. This assorted artists cd is a wild card as well.
But it’s looking good. We can sleep tonight.
Sauli’s tweet is about his Fault magazine issue. He links a sneak peek at one foto, and opportunity to ask him questions.
(The foto is gorgeous.)
Risky Lady: my back-end projections are coming from the same figures Weezle is using. The big question is: what will Adam do on the back-end? Hard to say because we have no idea who’s reporting last. One good thing: Walmart had an autograph promo with Adam and their sales come in at the end.
The thing is both these ladies got a Mother’s Day boost last week. The week before Adele only did 77,000. Carrie only dropped 57% in her week 2, which was unusually good for a second week.
I TOLD YOU SO…
Of course it is still not over, but at least it begins to look more like a predictions…
Tks, TLKC. I know nothing about how the numbers are put together, just wanted to show that they will change upwards LOL, and what you’re saying about Mother’s Day is very hopeful.

NOTE the hair closeup!

LOL, really? I saw that tweet too but didn’t bother with it because it was Finnish. I just followed the link to the gorgeous photo! According to some fans his tweet hase No. 1 in it. LOL!
Is he turning blond?

That picture of Sauli, is, well, is, ummm, quite nice!
Are those below the waist tats?
OMG
He certainly likes the animal prints!
ETA: talking about Adam’s shirt; NOT talking about Sauli’s below-the -waist tatts.
Count me in as nervous… If the numbers are low, I will be blaming the choice of BTIKM as lead single. Why a meh song when you can have a stomper like Trespassing? I know BTIKM has its merits and its fans, but I don’t think it is exciting enough for a lead single. So here I sit worrying.
Great News!!!!!!!! Keep it coming——think those are shadows on Sauli’s belows but he looks beautiful!!!!!!!
That didn’t come out right????? I meant below the waist
Sauli is HAWT!! I have to say that Adam has a good taste as usual..
Haha, I was so late.. that’s what happens when kid issues emerge in the middle of posting. Feeling better already!
This is from PopStar: KISS Review
He must have had his hair done this morning before the lunch. It was much darker last night. Don’t want him tooooo blonde! By Friday it should have grown an inch.
arghh, I want to see the pic of sauli, when i click on the link the article comes up, and a big white square where the picture should be!!
Ron – that review – that last line – “among the elite” – so true, so true.

O.M.G!!! LOVE that KISS review…limited exposure to his many, uh, assets…LOL!! Must reeaaalllly be newbies! I just finished babysitting five glambabies (ages 4-9) and couldn’t check out this site…only to open to #1…squee!!!!!!!!!!! Made my day! Didn’t get to Best Buy today after all, but I’m sure he will stay at #1 as soon as I buy another album or two or three…
YAY #1 so far.

Adam Lambert Slated for Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” on Thursday!
Posted: 21 May 2012 12:32 PM PDT
I did a Search last night on my cable guide for Adam Lambert, and was happily surprised to find he’s scheduled to be on Bravo TV’s Watch What Happens Live this Thursday, May 24th at 11 PM/10 Central. Also on the show that night will be Beth Ditto. She is listed on Wikipedia as an […]

I think Mils also posted something about finding this last week.
Good evening, I have a slow but usable connection at the moment, just finished a very nice dinner with the parents in a very remote area of western NC.
Thrilled to see the HDD update obviously. I should have kept quiet after the first update earlier as obviously I didn’t know what I was talking about, when we have some folks here like TLKC that do.
Heading back to the house now thru cell dead zones, talk to y’all in a bit.

NICE

Those TALC Videos are just amazing.
The scroll at the bottom of E mentions tweets from Pink and one of the Jonas brothers about all the lipsyncing on last night’s Billboard Music awards and something to the effect of “when are we going to hear live music”?
I just finished watching all of them. In “Cuckoo”, at the 6 minute 30 second mark! That note!! No wonder it was singled out in the review!
luval, have a FANTASTIC time tomorrow with Adam!!! I forgot to ask you if anyone else from here is going to be there with you?!
This is a really interesting article, written by our music reviewer. It is a fairly bitchy commentary about the lack of access to many performers and the canned interviews that are not really interviews, just a handler “interviewing” the performer while the journalists are allowed to listen in.
The obvious comparisons with Adam and his interviews are striking. I hope the author gets to interview Adam some day. He is a real journalist, not just a hack who writes music reviews, and I think Adam would enjoy the process as much as we would enjoy the result!
