After a very busy couple of weeks of promo and radio concerts following the release of “Trespassing” on May 15, Adam will head to London early this month to begin preparations for his upcoming concerts with Queen. He will do some album promo and a couple of live performances in the UK as well, where Trespassing is set for a July 2 release date. One of these shows is the “Rays of Sunshine” charity event at the very prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London. Adam will also return briefly to the US for a free radio concert in San Francisco on June 24.

Our featured photo (Brian Ach – Getty Images) for this month shows Adam in a very happy mood while performing at the KTUPhoria radio concert. Enjoy the chat!

    LOL, Texas! That used to be my favorite evening soap opera (when I was a tiny baby, of course Wink ).
    I’m so happy for you Texans out there that this concert is so close to home.
    I know you’ll have an awesome time. Jump Dance Jump Dance

    dcglam, that video was meant for you! Git down here!!

    BTW, did you see that TNT is resurrecting “Dallas”? The cast has been making the publicity rounds lately – I think it starts tonight, maybe. Gotta admit I’m kinda excited!

    On another whole tangent:

    Son #2 just made me so happy, he was going through a lot of my old CD’s for his car listening this summer, and he chose several of my faves, Rumours, The Stranger, Essential MJ, Essential Neil Diamond, and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

    Good taste, hunh?

    So, I opened the case for Simon and Garfunkel, and read the liner notes, which I hadn’t done in likely 20 years, and the lyrics reminded me of something so much I just had to say so here.

    It’s Nirvana. With a little of El Condor Pasa thrown in for measure. It’s like Adam was channeling his dad’s old music and wrote Nirvana. “I will lay you/me down.” I will make you safe. I will fly away with you.

    Does anybody else think so?

    When you’re weary
    Feeling small
    When tears are in your eyes
    I will dry them all

    I’m on your side
    When times get rough
    And friends just can’t be found
    Like a bridge over troubled water
    I will lay me down
    Like a bridge over troubled water
    I will lay me down

    When you’re down and out
    When you’re on the street
    When evening falls so hard
    I will comfort you
    [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/simon+and+garfunkel/bridge+over+troubled+water_20124580.html ]
    I’ll take your part
    When darkness comes
    And pain is all around
    Like a bridge over troubled water
    I will lay me down
    Like a bridge over troubled water
    I will lay me down

    Sail on Silver Girl,
    Sail on by
    Your time has come to shine
    All your dreams are on their way

    See how they shine
    If you need a friend
    I’m sailing right behind
    Like a bridge over troubled water
    I will ease your mind
    Like a bridge over troubled water
    I will ease your mind

    VEVO: 100 MILLION VIEWERS
    ARE “CERTIFIED”

    Music Video and Entertainment Platform Will Honor Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, LMFAO and Selena Gomez

    June 6, 2012

    VEVO will honor its most viewed video artists with the newly minted Certified Award, given to those clips which reach the 100 million viewed milestone.

    Initial honorees Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, LMFAO and Selena Gomez will be feted with a full rollout of exclusive, original programming premiering on VEVO beginning in June.

    VEVO will honor additional artists and their Certified videos each quarter going forward. Among other multiple winners on the initial list are Adele, Avril Lavigne, Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Chris Brown, Eminem, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Miley Cyrus, Pitbull, Rihanna and Shakira.

    So, 100 million views of an artist’s video on Vevo is now recognized and earns the artist this newly created Vevo Award.

    Adam must be is probably fairly close to that mark with WWFM, right? Maybe IIHY? Well, no. Adam has a ways to go with his videos on Vevo to reach 100 million views.

    I looked up these four:

    NCOE: 2.5 million

    BTIKM: 7.5 million

    IIHY: 31 million

    WWFM: 29.5 million

    Interesting to see the names of those being watched the most on Vevo. Miley Cyrus? Chris Brown?! Pain

    No matter, I think Adam’s viewership numbers are very impressive!

  12. dcglam says:

    I always loved that song as well, mils. I can definitely see your thinking along those lines.

    It’s also so nice to come home today from work to such beautiful vids and photos, AL, Texas, and glambotgram. I especially love to see photos that capture the audience during Adam’s shows. They are always the best, in my opinion.

    BTW, did you see that TNT is resurrecting “Dallas”? The cast has been making the publicity rounds lately – I think it starts tonight, maybe. Gotta admit I’m kinda excited!

    I have seen a number of commercials recently promoting this new series. Gotta give it to Larry Hagman — he must be at least 80 years old now. From what I have heard, both Pat Duffy and Linda Gray will be returning as well. It will be interesting to see how the new actors/actresses will do.

    Speaking of commercials….
    I have also seen a number of them for Katy Perry’s movie, Part of Me. I’m not at all sure, but from the commercials it looks as though this may actually be a biography of her life. Any more info???

    ETA: Cowboy Adam is adorable!!!Cowboy

    Ron…actually I don’t think the total sales this time were all that bad considering. Getting near 8,000 I don’t think is bad at all for gloom & doom Monday/Tuesday.

  15. glambotgram says:

    texas I didn’t know they were reviving Dallas. I went to the TNT site and they have some story updates there. http://www.tntdrama.com/video/?oid=326024&cid=137244

    I think “Who shot JR” has to still be the biggest TV cliffhanger ever.

    Haha, I’m responding to my own post.
    This movie trailer that I am posting is quite interesting. It seems that things weren’t always easy for Katy and that she was actually dropped from her original label. I feel she is a lot like Adam in many ways — her theatrics for sure as well as her determination. I love her because of her uniqueness as well as her connection with Adam and definitely plan to see her movie.

    Happy to see Adam won Billboards sexiest male……but Justin Beiber 3rd?????? i actually don’t find any of the other top 10 sexy. and madonna so high up the list, I must admit I threw a couple of votes to Katy Perry.

    Love those G.A.Y photos.

    re vevo 100m views, do we know if thats per video or in total views, as Adam is currently at just under 98m views in total on vevo.

    I’m a proud mummy this morning, went to a bar last night to see my daughter do her ‘singing’ debut in HK, an acoustic 8 song set. The crowd (lots of friends..) were very enthusiastic. She’s done musicals before but never straight up singing. Did Syrup and Honey, Do it like a Dude, RITD, a jazz number, a portuguese/English song among others..

    Hi HK fan!

    In this short Billboard article, it appears to be per video!

    http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/digital-and-mobile/vevo-launches-certified-award-for-videos-1007248152.story

    A page at Vevo will keep a running list of all Certified video and artists. There are already 81 videos to have achieved Certified status, including 8 from both Justin Bieber and Rihanna, 6 from Lady Gaga and 5 from both Black Eyed Peas and Katy Perry.

    Congratulations to your daughter! You must be very proud!!

    Ooooh, Adam sent Alexandra Burke a tweet praising her … I LOVE Alexandra Burke! “Broken Heels” is way often in my head and on my video screen!

    From Whiskey at MJs, re the album debut sales of Alan Jackson this week:

    LW TW artist / album label power index % change
    2 1 ADELE XL/COLUMBIA 74,029 +27%
    21
    — 2 ALAN JACKSON CAPITOL NASHVILLE/EMI 73,829–
    THIRTY MILES WEST (DEBUT – about 4,000 less than Adam)
    — 3 BEACH BOYS CAPITOL/EMI 63,645–
    THAT’S WHY GOD MADE THE RADIO
    — 4 BIG K.R.I.T. DEF JAM/IDJ 40,010–
    LIVE FROM THE UNDERGROUND

    Wow, album sales sucks all around. If you remove Adele from the list the debut album which would have been #1 sold 74k.

    After 4wks Adam is still somewhat in the normal % drop range without a hit song.
    Good thing he keeps his name out there because god knows those numbers could be worse. His bread and butter is still being able to put butts in seats

    Adam got 5 ADDs today, 1 Canada HAC, one US HAC and 3 US CHR/Pop. Hopefully at some point they will start spinning NCOE more.

  25. riskylady says:

    I do think the upcoming US performances after Queen will help sales, and maybe there will be some buzz from Queen, too.

  26. luval says:

    Thanks for your post, riskylady. Like I said previously, I don’t think Adam’s numbers were that horrible. The music business is a mess. Something has to change.

    Kradamour, I remember your love for Alexandra Burke from months ago! Not my style but so nice for Adam to befriend her.

    I’m thinking there will be some leaks from Queen rehearsal. Not that I would look, though. Smile

  27. AL says:

    Ooooh, Adam sent Alexandra Burke a tweet praising her … I LOVE Alexandra Burke!

    Then you are going to love this!

  28. riskylady says:

    Didn’t I read somewhere that Billboard was going to start taking streaming, YT views Vevo views, etc. into account?
    Maybe we should all be signing up for Pandora, Spotify, Sirius (they play Adam a lot) and f**k radio.
    I don’t think requests entice them to play songs at all. It’s purely whatever their corporate HQ dictates, with maybe a little flexibility locally.

  31. luval says:

    nkd…this is the very first time I have liked & listened to “Sexy and I Know it”! I can’t believe it myself!!!

  32. nkd says:

    Haha luval!

  33. glambotgram says:

    nkd that video was great. Makes me miss Glamnation and floorbert! He has been too tame lately.

    luval ITA about the song, I have never listened to it all the way through.

  34. dcglam says:

    Haha, ladies and gentlemen…..
    That song was made with Adam in mind!

  35. luval says:

    Am trying to get to bed here! Glambotgram…I really miss that side of Adam ! Can’t he be wild AND tame on stage? I am hoping and expecting the tour to be a little bit (well maybe a lot) of both.

  36. sparkle says:

    Too true, dcglam! Finally caught up! Whew! I think it’s a good thing I wasn’t reading during the see-saw pages – up, down, up, down, etc. Much easier to stay optimistic if you’re not “hanging out” and reading the posts as they come in! LOVED your analysis, Kradamour! I remember Adam saying that all the fame in the world is nothing without someone to share it. And no matter what level of fame he achieves, I know Adam would agree that it’s better than being a huge superstar without Sauli! I remember when Adam was describing what he was looking for in a boyfriend, physically. He was looking for someone cute, smaller and younger (if I recall correctly) and he FOUND him!

    My 40 minute drive to work at my new job is practically painless, thanks to AFL. I do have to guard against losing myself in the music but I so look forward to my drive home, singing along with Adam!

  37. nkd says:
  38. nkd says:

    I love that fanvid. It’s up there with Rude Boy for me! That new picture, wearing the RUDE ring, needs to be inserted in the RB video!

  40. Kradamour says:

    Thanks, AL for the sweet Adam and Alexandra item!
    She is another artist who seems genuinely open and honest. I love that she insisted that “real size” women be hired for her video, not just skinny chicks.

    luval, you are amazing to remember my post about her months ago! You might remember also my anger that I had to buy her CD from a reseller (no $$ for her) because she is British and her CD is not available for sale to the US. Grrrrr…..the music industry whines that we don’t buy CDs, and then they put all kinds of roadblocks in our way to keep us from buying the CDs we want to buy!
    Razz Razz Razz

    Or, when we want to buy a video (are you listening RCA?) it isn’t available for sale until everyone and their cousin has downloaded it from youtube for free BECAUSE IT ISN’T AVAILABLE FOR SALE UNTIL WEEKS AFTER IT IS RELEASED.
    No No No No No
    Bah.

    Off to bed – another long day of finals tomorrow…
    Sweet Adam and Alexandra dreams!
    Hug Left Hug Right
    G’nite peeps!
    Heart

  41. Kradamour says:

    Oh, back for a second – mils, I listen to Simon and Garfunkel regularly (with Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Cat Stevens and Pentangle) – yes, I can see it.

    And actually I was thinking this evening on the drive home how much Adam has been influenced by a generation of musicians that today’s kids have never heard of. I think that is part of the puzzle.

    And now good night!

  42. sparkle says:

    Sweet Adam dreams to you, Kradamour! Loved that fanvid – hope Adam finally knows just how sexy he is! (It’s hard when you’ve never really seen yourself as being sexy) #1, Baby!!!

  43. Kradamour says:

    So…I watched the fan vid.
    Moth to a flame.
    Was going to just peek and then go to bed.
    Um…no.
    Big Smile
    Think I’ll be up for a while yet.

    I wonder how many of the votes for Adam were from men and how many from women?

    Sparkle, I often wonder what Adam sees when he looks in the mirror. I suspect that it is not always what we see, but I hope that it more and more often is.

  44. milwlovesadam says:

    Whoever made that fanvid is right on the money. Somehow everybody’s favorite clips were there. Well, almost every clip.

    I do miss me some fierce Sleepwalker.

  45. nkd says:

    I think that was jamieglambert that made the fan vid. She’s a girl we met in Ste Agathe in line, and Ron has talked about her some here.

  46. dcglam says:
  47. dcglam says:

    Ah… Sleepwalker, mils
    Still my favorite song from both of the albums!

  48. sparkle says:

    Kradamour – I hope so too!

  49. ultimathule says:

    Very little angst anymore at MJ’s with regard to Adam. Perhaps seeing all the kids struggle in the business has done away with it at last.

    Doesn’t apply, however, to other websites/blogs, etc. – outside the Idol bubble. Can still get the haters there.

  50. nkd says:

    Here’s a chart showing some songs with the HAC spins. Put your cursor on any point on the line and it shows that songs spins and the number of days out from adds date. This does not include CHR spins.
