September finds blond Adam back in the US after a busy August touring Japan and Australia. What’s in store for us this month? A third single announcement? Confirmation about Idol judges (is Adam one of them?!)? More speculation of a Queen+Adam tour or possibly an actual Trespassing tour? Will he add more shows in the coming months? Even Adam’s hairdresser does not know for sure. So while we wait, continue to chat away about anything and everything Adam related. Enjoy!

    oksana It is not the 2000th on the thread it is my 2000th on this site.

    Update: more VIP tix available. Whew! what a roller coaster!
    Adamized and I have decided for once/for all that we will be at the Lindsey Stirling concert down the street.
    Hoping the fab four will still be able to dine together prior to our respective concerts!

    Following the whole discussion on MJs about Idol bubble I made a very simple test yesterday. I have 2 friends who never watched American Idol.
    I started quoting names of winners and some non-winners. The result:
    They heard about Kelly, Carrie, JHud (movies), Jordin (Whitney Houston movie) and …. Adam Lambert!! Even Daughtry’s name didn’t ring a bell, and forget about WGWG’s.
    IMO Adam is definately out of bubble..

    I updated the numbers page for the first time in a while:
    http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2012/trespassing-salesairplay-info

    There isn’t really any good news to report unfortunately.

    The most recent album numbers I could find were for August 6-19, when Trespassing sold about 3K during the two week period. Its U.S. sales total through August 19 was about 151,000.

    Trespassing the single has not appeared on any Hot AC or Top 40 charts yet of course, as the single has not been officially released nor officially sent to radio. So far, it has picked up 3 adds on HAC, one from KDMX Dallas (the station sponsoring the Texas Tango concert – funny how that works), the other two from KCIX Boise and KWYE Fresno (both of which are strong Adam supporters that also added the previous two singles early in their cycles).

    The single has also picked up a few adds on Canadian Top 40 and HAC radio.

    We’ll see what happens in the next several weeks, but I wouldn’t expect a major promo push from RCA at this point, given the lack of results from the first two singles. That’s why I’m so bummed that Adam didn’t get the AI gig, as that weekly TV exposure this coming winter and spring would have been invaluable. Unless Trespassing unexpectedly becomes a major hit single, Adam is going to have to find another path.

  6. Oksana2000 says:

    Are they increasing number of VIP tickets with every batch being sold out? Poor Adam, he won’t have a time to enjoy the event…
    Ups, I confused VIP tix with Premium tix.
    BTW, VIP is still available…

  7. Oksana2000 says:

    eywflyer, I wonder what caused sudden jump of TS on Amazon and iTunes in past two weeks.I think that he still sells around 2000/week but we can’t see the numbers. Brian has access to country charts only and if Scotty sells 2000/week so does Adam. Scotty’s position is lower than Adam’s.

  8. eywflyer says:

    Oksana, don’t know what would have caused the Itunes and Amazon numbers to increase recently. I’m not so sure that Adam is selling as many as Scotty overall, although Adam is higher on Itunes/Amazon, we don’t know how the physical sales in stores compare. My experience is that Adam typically is strongest with digital/online outlets, while country artists such as Scotty are typically strongest with physical sales at Walmart etc.

    I would guess that Trespassing has sold 6-8K additional units in the month since the last hard numbers update, placing its U.S. total at approximately 157-159K.

  9. AL says:

    AL, hmmm… I thought that I made 2000 th post, but I guess you can see some internal counter.
    And I wanted that toaster so much… Frown

    Well, Oksana, I see that Glambotgram has responded about the toast post. Sorry I missed the 2000th post in this thread. That seems to be the norm for all threads now so I was saving the toaster oven for when we get 3000 this time.
    But maybe I’ll start that next month…so…
    …here’s your toaster oven! and a sample of the toast that comes from it!
    You can butter him up all you want. Enjoy!

  10. eywflyer says:

    Speaking of toaster ovens, we will likely reach 50,000 total comments on the site sometime in October.

  11. Kradamour says:

    Thanks for the update, eywflyer.

    But this week in particular gives lots of room for optimism (actually, I am always optimistic for Adam overall; he may not have the “typical” pop trajectory, but what is “typical” now?).

    His sudden appearance at the Maryland Marriage Equality gig means that someone thought of him and wanted him to be “the” performer for this high-profile event. How cool is that? Remember when he wasn’t gay enough?

    I honestly don’t think that album sales mean nearly as much as they did even a year or two ago in relation to performances. Adam is making plenty of money, is becoming well-known, is gaining younger fans and droves of international fans. and doing what he wants to do with no apparent end in sight, and enjoying lots of shopping opportunities in foreign locales.
    And, assuming that RCA allows him another album (and they would be foolish not to, IMHO, and they have shown themselves to be patient when it comes to Adam), they might have sense enough to let him choose the singles and to say no-thank-you to last-minute “help” from the likes of Bruno Mars. They might also time releases better and have the videos ready when the songs are released. Not to mention release to radio in some way other than this half-*ssed dribs and drabs.
    The learning curve for Adam has been longer than for some others, and I do think that there is some pushback because he is gay.
    But worried?
    Nah.

    this just shows how dumb Idol execs really are, he would have been so awesome, short little interview from FRESHFM, there may be more to come

    At this point I’m almost afraid to make plans to go out to a movie in case an Adam show pops up!! Who knows where he could end up???

    So true, mils, so true!
    Thank you, nkd and twilightmagic8!! Blowing Kisses

  14. dcglam says:

    Ah, thank you, Krad!! Wink
    We’ll talk — I think I will be fortunate to make it to the venue by 6:00. IDK

  15. JOJOSIE says:

    I just read on twitter that Sauli may be going back to Finland while Adam is traveling overseas this time. I’m sure he’s trying to keep himself in news there and keep some kind of celebrity presence . I think he’s some one who needs to keep his individuality. I love what he said in Fault,”I don’t care if my partner is a celebrity or not, it’s the private relationship that matters.” I have lots of love for Sauli and am so glad he’s come into Adam’s life as they seem to make each other happy.

    Go Sarah!

    Neil‏@negativeneil

    Sarah Silverman made a PSA about Voter ID Laws. It’s funny and lays it out pretty well. http://j.mp/Un9PXm

  17. milwlovesadam says:

    Love that! Thanks Jlurks!

    Eywflwer, I lost my buttons again!!

  18. luval says:

    jlurksackto…I think that tweet from Brian London is very interesting. Drummer for overseas? Drummer for another gig? New drummer for Adam?

  19. milwlovesadam says:

    Have we talked about the Boy George thing today? I thought the interview that Adam posted was brilliant. To think that Adam was only 2 years old at the time. Not much has changed. Not much at all.

  20. Kradamour says:

    mils, I was so surprised by how articulate and intelligent Boy George was. Had no idea.
    And yes, plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
    (The more things change, the more they stay the same.)
    Frown

  21. milwlovesadam says:

    I remember him quite well during his heyday. However, he has fallen into many problems the last decade or so, including charges of inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor. And drug problems over the years. Then his failed Broadway show with Rosie O’Donnell as the producer.

    But, he was quite well-spoken in 1984.

    I’m hoping that our guy learns from George’s mistakes.

    As far as our host, eywflyer’s comments posted a page or so ago, I’m trying to stay positive. Adam has so many things in the near future on his plate. And more things keep popping up almost every day. I’m very hopeful for more.

    If Trespassing doesn’t get airplay, I still don’t think the label will drop him. He’s an international star.

    I wish we had access to international sales numbers.

  22. retjenny says:

    #AlfredENeumann – I love AEN. What, me worry? Nope, not me!

  23. Oksana2000 says:

    JOJOSIE, I don’t know exactly what kind of US visa Sauli has,but it could be that he can stay in US only certain number of months during a year. Maybe that’s why he travels abroad so often?
    Apart from that it seems that he wants to be known for himself not as a Adam’s partner and I applaud him for that.

    Funny twitter conversation

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone

    I’m not gonna ask why ‘Spain with Adam lambert’ is trending worldwide. Assume the Glamberts are up to something Wink

    PopjusticeVerified ‏@Popjustice

    @shoshannastone Maybe he’s taken up bullfighting.

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone

    @Popjustice maybe Peter pop.

    PopjusticeVerified ‏@Popjustice

    @shoshannastone Are you confirming that Adam Lambert has maybe taken up bullfighting?

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone

    @Popjustice oh no, it’s been a while, but here we go again! I AM NOT CONFIRMING that he has maybe taken up bullfighting

    PopjusticeVerified ‏@Popjustice

    @shoshannastone so are you denying Internet rumours that Adam has taken up bullfighting? *writes spurious story refuting non-story*

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone

    @Popjustice I am denying. On the record. ‘His spokesperson said’ …. (Although maybe I’d like to ask him just to make sure)…

    PopjusticeVerified ‏@Popjustice

    @shoshannastone The outfit would certainly suit him

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone

    @Popjustice well if anyone could pull it off…..

    Adam in a toreador ensemble…
    thud
    ded
    Why has no one thought of this before?
    Have you guys ever seen a toreador being put into his pants?
    It takes two strong men to get them on him, they are that form fitting.
    Imagine this.
    Them would be quite some pants for your list, mils.
    Dazed
    Heading off to the corner to…um…think about this a little bit.

    That little soundcloud interview, glambotgram – what a superb judge he would make. No one on the new panel is anywhere near his qualifications for this show. Dopes.

  27. glambotgram says:

    I call one side (front) of the new job toreador pants stuff him inner.

    to the corner I will go

  28. milwlovesadam says:

    Jeez. Well. Okay. Harrumphing loudly now….I suppose I could be the other toreador pants leg stuffer inner.

    If you make me do it….

    Oh, Hi Kradamour!! I’m in the corner with you now.

  29. milwlovesadam says:

    Oh. I see. ( Adjusts bifocals ) Glambotgram you claimed the FRONT.

    Greedy much??? LOL

    I’m still in the corner though..

  30. Kradamour says:

    Actually, ladies, I believe that each person takes one side and they both help with…um…tucking in the shirt both front and back and… um…smoothing it over…um…you know, um, parts that might, um, need to be smoothed…

  31. glambotgram says:

    Fine mils I will take the right side, he is a righty ROTFL isn’t he?

  32. milwlovesadam says:

    Oh, honey, I don’t think anyone here is interested in “smoothing” anything!!!

    Glambotgram, I bow to you for finding that picture! Lulz

    I remember sooooo much discussion about that back during GN. Some believed it was a fold in the fabric!! Posh!! I’ve worked with a lot of fabric, and I’ve never seen it “fold” like that!!!

  33. milwlovesadam says:

    And…I’m out for the night. Thanks for the giggles! This fan is fighting a bug, and has been in bed by 9 PM almost every night this week. Very unlike Mils. Usually a night owl.

    OTT. In True Blood news, Anna Paquin had her twins last week a little early. Hope they are all well.

  34. glambotgram says:

    Hope you feel better mils

  35. mmm222 says:

    I just bought a VIP ticket for the 9:30 Club concert too!!! I decided that it would be crazy not to go when the concert is so close to home. I’m really excited…and then the Phoenix concert is only 3 weeks later.

  36. nkd says:
  37. riskylady says:

    Pink starts touring for her new CD in February. Wish Adam would do it soon too – that would help US sales. Not sure if the time spent on radio visits all over the damn country was worth it…..
    Conflicted, because I REALLY want more Queen gigs!!!
    I do have faith they are planning something, and we know now that Queen will not reveal anything until all the loose ends are tied up, even merchandise, etc.
    Anyway, if he recorded 40-50 songs, he could probably pull another album, or at least maybe a couple of EPs out of there. That would be interesting.
    And, Map and By the Rules should definitely be released somehow in the US, maybe with a few of the other unused songs. Just sayin’…..

  38. riskylady says:

    LOLOLOL! Someone PLEASE make a gif of this! Adam is a trip.

    DVD latest:

    93 addresses in 30 states and 5 countries. A few addresses with more than one
    mailing and a quite a few with multiple DVDs. If you have friends that would
    like a DVD, just ask for some or provide addresses. It is all good.

    Adam is adorable in this interview for Australia’s Hot 30:

    “Um, yeah, we’re pretty comfortable, yeah.” Hah!

  43. cwm says:

    Woah the 747/space shuttle must have flown right over Adam’s house! Cool pic, nkd – thanks for posting.

    Haha this is such a crack-up. Jill Biden makes an inadvertent penis joke in introducing Joe and busts up the crowd, and Joe, and herself, and then everything else she says gets put in that context. Sooo funny!

    I’ve just logged in and just noticed a Howdy HK fan in the top right hand corner, I have never noticed that before, Not the howdy Part.
    this is OT, but I was just watching a Link to something on FB and this came up at the end…a clip of Kellie Pickler on smarter than a 5th grader, having rather a blonde moment…….got to love her!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Cey35bBWXls

    Love that short Aussie interview. It seems a very long time since we have seen a pic of Adam and Sauli together, about time we had another one.

    I was listening to an Aussie radio station on line earlier and they played a song with a couple of f**ks in it, (although with a warning before hand), and I thought poor old Adam even gets his ass deleted in the US!!

  46. TLKC says:

    I am off to Hamilton today to have “tea at the Pitz” at a Glambert’s home; delightful echo of our tea at the Ritz in July. Several Glamberts getting together for a bit of fun and Adam catch-up.

    Next Saturday night, Adbert Daily has booked a place for Adam karaoke in honour of a San Franciscan Glambert who is visiting Toronto. Brushing up on Running… seriously kidding here. What should a tone deaf person sing?

    Popped in to MJ’s (couldn’t help myself yesterday) and I see that Carly Rae Jephson, who has a monster single hit with “Call Me Maybe”, has only sold 40,000 cds in her first week. The cd news is bad all around. It could be going the way of of the dinosaur. In that context, I don’t think Adam’s cd sales are a nail in his coffin.

    If he was at 151,000 in August, he should hit 200,000 by year-end: 16 weeks X 2,000 plus a bit of Christmas gifting.

    I know it’s sad that Adam hasn’t had a radio hit yet but he said, way back when, that he wouldn’t tour until 2013 and would spend most of his time in 2012 on radio promo so they obviously had a plan in place that worked on the premise that it would take a few times to succeed. (I heard “3 or 4” singles come out of his mouth.)

    His management company isn’t dropping him any time soon. He is filling decent-sized venues and they are making money on his performances.

    He is riding that difficult Idol wave much better than most.

  47. TLKC says:

    So glad for you mmm222. Have a great time! Recaps are eagerly expected.

  48. luval says:

    Good morning TLKC! It’s so nice that you have fellow glamberts in the vicinity to have fun with. Maybe I can get a couple of the medical students interested in “tea”.

    HK fan..it was “howdy luval”!
