Another month has arrived, the last one before Adam’s new album “Trespassing” will be released! February will hopefully see Adam’s lead single “Better Than I Know Myself” continue to gain airplay and sales. There should be a bump from the music video which is expected early this month. Meanwhile Adam will likely continue working on promo events in preparation for his upcoming album release, which is slated for March 20 here in the US. Perhaps with more promo being done ahead of the album release this time around, the next tour can begin by this summer? Enjoy the chat!

Update 2/4/2012: BTIKM music video was released Thursday night, feel quite certain we’ll be seeing plenty of it on VH1 in the next few weeks!

    I’m wondering too, luval, last I saw he was in the low 800,000’s I think. How did he get to platinum without ever making any sales list? (And therefore never selling more than 2,000 a week.)
    It’s gotta be some combination of US and international sales.

    That Digital Spy article links to a Hollywood Reporter article which only gives the date for Daughtry. Confused.

    I think the problem is created with the wording in that article. It sounds like they are all appearing at once. Idol has never done that before. I think each will have their night.

    I think this quote comes from the Swedish magazine…

    Last night as I was navigating my way around Facebook for the first time, this page seemed to pop out at me from nowhere. It took me a while to get back to it this evening. That radio site is a bit confusing, but I finally got there. It seems you have to be logged into both Facebook and Mix 107.3 at the same time. There is a button on the left side of the radio site that says “Meet Adam Lambert”. That is how I got to it today. I must say that today’s comments are from very enthusiastic people without the hard luck stories — typical you and me. The big hard luck story from yesterday is as follows:

    Tabby Lambert
    “I know I probably won’t win this contest, but I’d like to share a little bit of my story, my parents had always a struggle with drug addiction, I had to raise my 2 little sisters and 2 little brothers practically on my own since the age of 5. I was better parents then my own, I am 15 now… In 2008, I moved in with my grandparents and left my siblings behind with my parents. And in 2009, they were placed in foster care. They are still there. Adam Lambert has given me hope, and strength. He has gotten me through the toughest time for me. Because of him, I realized that anything is possible. I am now okay, not happy, but okay. He somehow seems to take the pain away, for just a little bit. He’s taught me it’s okay to be different and he’s helped me to love myself. It would be an honor to meet him. He is my hero in every way. I love him to death. I dream about meeting him all the time. It’s my 11:11 wish every night and when I wish upon a star. I will never give up on him & my dreams of meeting him, so, please, can you take me into consideration? Make me the happiest girl alive? Thank you. Good luck to all participants!!”

    Ha…. My son lives in Boston, so I’m wondering if I would have any better luck trying out for this one. What a frustrating day it has been with Mix 107.3 here in DC!
    I made a point of calling in for the morning 7:25 show before work, and then the 4:25 show afterwards. So, if any of you know a strategy/secret for being the 10th caller, I will gladly provide you with my e-mail address. I received either a busy signal both times or a no answer. They are such a tease!
    The fact that Adam Lambert will be within a 40 minute drive from my house on Monday, March 12 is not easy to handle.
    If all else fails, maybe I can hang out at Reagan Airport the day before. LOL
    Desperate times call for desperate measures!! Wink

  26. rs says:

    nkd,you asked about overdrive. After the Meatloaf vids today, AdamBertDaily Blog had this video which gave nice demonstrations of four types of singing, including overdrive. It helped me to understand more than a verbal explanation would. Here it is:

    So, this funny Idol story continues…..
    According to this article, Chris Daughtry is the only one confirmed for March 15.

  28. ultimathule says:

    dcglam – got a busy signal, too. Maybe they’ll be a fan crowd outside the place that day and we could catch a glimpse as he goes in?

  29. ultimathule says:

    Really enjoying Meatloaf’s comments and all the info on Overdrive. Have to run it past my son-in-law who’s been professionally trained – mostly opera – and see what he thinks. Also that funny “brrrrr” kind of warm-up with his lips that Adam did in that one vid. Hah – now Adam blesses us all with a tutorial in proper singing – love it.

  30. dcglam says:

    Sounds like a great idea, ultimathule!

  31. ultimathule says:

    Oh, damn, dcglam – give that girl a ticket – lol.

  32. dcglam says:

    Oh, damn, dcglam – give that girl a ticket – lol.

    Yeah…. I totally agree! I hope they do, and they probably will. Wink

  33. glambotgram says:

    Had two really small Adam moments this week. Twice while watching TV, a character has said “You think you know me better than I know myself” LOL makes me smile.

  34. glambotgram says:

    Oh, damn, dcglam – give that girl a ticket – lol.

    Now I am just the opposite and I guess cynical, I figure it is probably made up just to get the ticket. LOL

    @shirleyhalperin: Adam Lambert Legal Settlement Allows Pre-‘American Idol’ Album to Come Out (Exclusive)
    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/adam-lambert-american-idol-beg-for-mercy-296023

  37. glambotgram says:

    Looks like Adam had to let the scum release the album, so is it now going to continue to interfere with Trespassing.

    ETA MJ has this on her headline thread and Nele has already started.

  38. ultimathule says:

    Good luck with selling that album, Welsford, – you’re dead to Adam fans now. And, if you’d played it legit – waited instead of trying to cash in when you did, you coulda had it all. Losers.
    (That’s the comment I left at THR.)

    This makes me really sad. I loved him when I was a little girl.
    http://www.tmz.com/2012/02/29/davy-jones-dead-monkees/#.T05qIoePXnM

    Me too nkd I can remember crying so hard when the Monkee’s TV show was cancelled, I was devastated.

  40. dcglam says:

    I feel that this decision is based partially (if not mostly) on the fact that Adam has total confidence in his fans, and that he really doesn’t need to worry or concern himself about BFM any longer as that album will go nowhere compared to Trespassing!!

    glambotgram, my first thought was the same, what if they give her a ticket and then found out she’s lied…

    Shame about Davy Jones, he was my favourite Monkey. Met him briefly when I was about 11 at a charity football match.

    SG, I actually went to Barcelona 3 years ago for a few days. Beautiful city, would definitely not have a problem visiting there again.

    This is the spread sheet for the matching funds to Charity Water made today. I think the chart hasn’t been updated lately. I will watch it as we go on…. Here’s the link to Charity Water and if you choose to donate today to take advantage of the matching you need to incude “Leap Day Challenge” in memo line.

    Nearest I can figure out there are 12 pages of Leap Day Challenge donations with 25 per page so they are up to about 1500 in matching funds. Pretty good and a few hours to go still.

    That’s a horrible picture. She needs to rethink her image. IMO

  48. glambotgram says:

    That’s a horrible picture. She needs to rethink her image. IMO

    I didn’t really look at the face too much because HMM I was too busy looking at the apparatus and imagining Adam and GB and ummm off to the corner.

  49. HK fan says:

    Re the FYE numbers. I can remember a year or so ago when we last saw the numbers, there was always 2 numbers listed,it was around 833,000 physical sales, plus approx 140,000 downloads. It always seemed to me that only the physical sales seemed to count towards certification, yet for singles its the downloads. If you add the 2 numbers together then reaching platinum would make sense. The number on the billboard article is too low to be worldwide as I’m sure as of a year ago that was 1.3m, so probably closer to 1.5m now.

  50. HK fan says:

    Someone just answered my questions on the numbers thread on mj’s, Billboard is a combination of physical sales and downloads, so their number of just over 1m makes perfect sense. Yay Adam…
