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!

    Hey, luval

    But I have a feeling something’s gonna breakout on this record and we are all going to be pleasantly surprised. Don’t know what makes me think this because I’m usually Debbie Downer. Just feel upbeat today about Trespassing.

    So glad you feel that way ’cause you are right! I am going to HMV tomorrow and buy me a whole lot of Trespassing cd’s. That should crank up the numbers Smile Grin Heh

    “By the Rules”. At the insistance of many of you I gave it a 2nd listen, louder this time, and I’m kinda liking it. Will do it a few more times and I think it’ll really grow on me. THanks guys for the encouragement!

    glambotgram loving the sneakers in the catalogue you found. But I think I saw some comments that were posted 3 years ago…so maybe out of luck!

    No FAULT yet in Naples! nkd I think FL is the real outpost. You Texans got radio promo and M&Gs!
    But as Ellesay says “we got/get Bieber”!

    dcglam says: The bottom line is that if NCOE doesn’t make it as a single, I don’t know what will.

    ITA. As “radio friendly” as it gets, and a clear favorite in my very Adam-sceptical family.

    kradamour says: I think that RCA made a huge marketing error in going with “safe” material as singles.

    This. If you only get two shots, you really can’t waste one on a meh song. I bet there were political considerations/favors going on and it was not Adam’s choice. If he gets a third song, I’d go with Shady too. Just about every reviewer loved it. To me, musically, it is the strongest song. If it is not meant to be, at least go out with a bang. I am still hopeful though that NCOE will catch on.

  4. luval says:

    Hi turquoisewaters!…Agree with you about not Adam’s choice. Although he was an executive producer on the album, bet there are many many things beyond his control that we will never know about.

    eta: I thank you, Calgary…and Adam thanks you too!

  5. glambotgram says:

    I wore an eggplant colored top for the WB concert because I had heard about eggplant so much on here, I figured it was an honorary tour color! LOL!

    sparkle that is a great idea, it could be the ALL Adam color, and we wouldn’t look like bumblebees. lol

    What ad?

    luval This JCPenney Father’s Day ad.

  6. Kradamour says:

    And Shady has Nile Rogers to pimp it!
    I also see Shady as a possible crossover into urban radio. It is probably the only song on the album that I can easily picture on my “rap and crap” radio stations here except perhaps Kickin In. (riskylady, that is your phrase, yes? Love it!)

  7. glambotgram says:

    AWW BB really managed to hide out since he left Montreal, Good for him. He had some people thinking he was already on his way to London. Hopefully a few days with Sauli and family and friends recharged his batteries for his Amazing journey ahead.

    @adamlambert Thank u for hosting an amazing brunch with our incredible group of friends. Love u all so much. Have a safe Flight! #Thankful

    PS I vote for Shady for radio, I love that song.

  9. dcglam says:

    Hmmm, a recent interview from Monte Pittman….

    Q. You are also guitarist and music director for Adam Lambert – that’s quite a title too. Where do you find the time?
    A. Adam and I played together before he went on American Idol. He was the singer for my band Afterwards he asked me to play guitar in his solo [work]. We had some great times together. He has such a phenomenal voice. Things are going great for him right now and that puts a huge smile on my face.

  10. riskylady says:

    LOL, Kradam, if your “rap and crap” station would insert Shady in between, that would be phenomenal. Not sure about Shady in Miami – they love the club music down here, too – I’m thinkin’ Pop That Lock LOL! Very short-attention-span city. Now, if Adam would tour again and sell out the Hard Rock with this new music, that might get their attention. Or, BTR, with it’s Latin flavor, could be the new “Caribbean Queen,” it sort of has that vibe (remember Billy Ocean? That song was HUGE here.)

    I did see on MJs that NCOE has entered the HAC top 40 at #37. Kelly’s Dark Side is #42. On CHR NCOE moved up from #83 to #67. So, some progress is being made.

    My big question about radio is: How the heck is Carly Rae Jepsen for example getting so much play from the getgo? No loyal US fanbase was requesting her music from another country – but Bieber tweeted her and lo and behold, airplay!
    No fans had to grovel. Same thing about One Direction. Were we requesting their music from over in the UK to be brought over here? Oh well…..

  11. Kradamour says:

    I loved that “Candyland or Chess” post, glambotgram. It is exactly what I have meant when I have said that Adam is a musician’s musician, but her explanation was a lot more articulate.

    (Dunno about the psychic stuff and Freddie Mercury orchestrating things from beyond the grave but whatever.)

    I remember her from DC with her “freak flag” – she seemed nice but we didn’t actually speak.

    Thanks for findind and posting!

  12. little dutchess says:

    ellesay So happy to hear your husband has come through with flying colors!. Both of you take care and take it easy. I’m sure this has been tough on you both.

  13. little dutchess says:

    eywflyer- you have done and still do so much for us here on ALL. Thanks for your dedication . I haven’t looked at it all yet but your description of your tweaking and redos sounds like a lot of work! I am so proud and happy to be a part of this group. I feel like you brought the creme de la creme with you when you started this blog. Not putting anyone down over on the other blog as there are several still there whom I very much enjoyed and whose comments I loved and respected but this really is a fun , happy and classy place to hang out! Thank you for your time and efforts. I know it is a lot of work and a labor of love!

  14. nkd says:

    No FAULT yet in Naples! nkd I think FL is the real outpost.

    little dutchess, we’ll see who gets their FAULT first or last! Laugh

  15. nkd says:

    Also loved the Candyland vs Chess post.
    I do remember seeing her at the DC concert for sure, maybe at WB too.

  16. glambotgram says:

    little dutchess, we’ll see who gets their FAULT first or last! Laugh

    We can have the Fault triangle, No Fault here in Michigan yet either. Big Smile

  20. JOJOSIE says:

    No Fault in Iowa either, but I’m the farthest from England so it’s expected. j/k. I want to order the one that Sauli going to be in so I guess I’ll just have to learn to be patient. I want to thank kradamour for still being fond of Iowa and deciding to see Adam here. Now we will have a nice group at the show, I’ll get to meet some of you and renew past experiences with others. Seeing Adam with friends and fellow Glamberts, what could be better. Dance

  21. HK fan says:

    Hi asif I’m here…great news about no 1 in HK. Not actually sure what that means in regard to sales and airplay, as I don’t listen to HK radio. Can’t get it in my house or car, and to be honest its not that good anyway.. I think I read today that its no 1 in Singapore too..

    Still liking By The Rules.

  22. glambotgram says:

    Good Morning ALL. Should be an exciting week. I hope we get lots of gorgeous pictures and videos from all his appearances in London.

  23. Kradamour says:

    Jojosie, thank you for that sweet comment. My years in Iowa are a big part of who I am and how I view the world; Iowa is where my eyes were first opened to humanity’s splendid diversity, and it is so appropriate to return for an Adam concert! (oh, and those other various peeps who are performing lol)
    I am so glad to be able to meet you at last after reading your posts for so long!

    I hope that Adam will see the grafitti Adam – I think he would like it a lot. Beautifully done, too.

    I’m off to the land of blocked internet…have a great day, peeps!

    Good morning, another Monday/Tuesday numbers cycle is upon us. HAC adds and initial HDD sales report today, Top 40 adds and final HDD report on Tuesday.

    5 of 92 HAC stations have reported so far, in addition to the San Diego add that came in last week we have one new add early this morning:

    WMGX-FM Pub 0 Hot AC Portland, ME 19/RCA Saga Communications Inc. 90 6/4/2012 2:23:00 AM
    KMYI-FM Pub 4 Hot AC San Diego 19/RCA Clear Channel Communications 17 5/31/2012 12:38:00 PM

    Typically the complete HAC panel reports by 5-6pm Eastern time.

    Addboard link for anyone who may not have it:
    http://addboard.mediabase.com/AddDetails.asp?sngcde=LAMBNCOE

    We should get at least one and possibly two HDD updates this afternoon (Eastern time). I’m prepared for a further drop in sales, as the album has continued to gradually slide down the iTunes, Amazon, Barnes/Noble and Walmart charts during this past week. Without much airplay for NCOE at this point, a continued sales drop is pretty much inevitable in the near term. We need to see at what level sales stabilize, but I don’t think we are at that level yet.

  25. HK fan says:

    NCOE doesn’t seem to be getting that many spins at the moment, but its AI seems higher than BTIKM ever got, so hopefully that means the spins he is getting are at the right time of day.

    Hi little dutchess ,
    Enjoy Les Miz, Adam/Queen and Alfie Boe. I wish I were that lucky.
    I used to listen to Alfie Boe and the likes in his genre a lot until Adam. Also at my fortunate times, a long time ago, I used to go to Europe in summer. I have seen Les Miz and other musicals in London a few times.

    My daughter and I loved Les Miz so much that we both went back to Palace Place Theatre to see it while my hubby went to see something else. I have DVDs both the 10th and 25th Anniversary of Les Miz. My daughter and I know every word of the songs and we sing (out of tune) together. What fun!!!
    We laughed at Nick Jonas (Marius?!?) Actually, he is OK. I guess they want to pass this show on to the young generations like High School kids to keep this show on for more years to come.
    Samantha Banks who was Eponine in the 25th Anniversary Concert is in the movie as well. Taylor Swift didn’t get the role. Can’t wait to see the movie in December. The cast looks impressive.

    Enjoy your time in the UK. When all of you get together, please give a toast to us who are hanging out here waiting to hear every word about Adam/Queen from you.

    In the Washington Post today:

    “Mormons march in gay pride parade”

  29. ultimathule says:

    Continued:

    “More than 300 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints who are not gay drew shouts of approval and tears from spectators while marching in the Utah Gay Pride Parade in downtown Salt Lake City.

    “The Mormons say they sought to send a message of love to Utah’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community by joining the annual parade Sunday. . . . . Included fathers with children on their shoulders and mothers pushing strollers.

    “Parade grand marshal Dustin Lance Black, an Academy award winning screenwriter, tweeted: ‘In tears. Over 300 straight, active Mormons showed up to march with me at the Utah Pride Parade to support the LGBT people.'”

  30. asifclueless says:

    Hi .. HK fan.
    We’d better stop seeing each other like this. LOL
    We are like playing tag. I guess you’re 6-7 hours ahead of me.
    My daughter is in Korea and the time there is 6 hours ahead of mine. By the time I get around, come home from work and try to call her she’ll be in bed already. We also have different weekend. Here, Thursday and Friday are our weekend.

    I don’t understand the radio play, spins, adds or subtracts either. It frustrates me that Adam has to work so hard with the radio thingie inspite of his incredible talents.

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert
    Fuck ‘One Million Moms’. Hateful Bigots

    I should thank my Mom & Dad everyday that they didn’t raise me a bigot. Otherwise, I would have missed out on the talented, beautiful and wonderful Adam F. Lambert. That would have been a crying shame! So, thank you Mom & Dad!!! Big Smile Kiss

  32. asifclueless says:

    ultimathule, Thanks for the Washinton Post news.
    Good news. A change has come. Yes

    I hope it’s real, not political calculation for Mitt Romney to match President Obama’s view.

    Sorry!! If I’m cynical.

  33. asifclueless says:

    YAY … \O/ … Update on the Singpore dancers

    They are going to choro SHADY next. Dance

    Their comment.

    “Thank you for all your compliments!! We are so honored and humbled. N I really do love Adam Lambert “Trespassing” album. I will be doing a piece on his song “Shady” soon, please stay tune!!”

  34. luval says:

    This is so funny. I just gifted another cd to my doctor! We got talking about traveling and I told her of my adventures and that I follow this singer etc, etc. I couldn’t believe she heard of him. She loved him on Idol…had no idea what he was up to. Like many people she didn’t know he was on Kimmel or AI or GMA. God it’s sooooo frustrating! That’s why I always keep cd in my purse. And I’ve also started taking off the plastic wrap. I think sometimes people might just throw the cd’s in a pile if they are not easily accessable.

  35. luval says:

    If anybody watched So You Think You Can Dance from the beginning…Benji Schwimmer, the first winner and a Mormon, just came out. It’s a 2 hour YouTube where he talks about it. His sister Lacy Schwimmer is an occasional dancer on Dancing With The Stars.

  36. asifclueless says:

    I guess the eagle has landed!!

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert
    London you’re so Queeny today!

    Tom Payne ‏@justanactor
    Back in England. Again. Adam Lambert was on our flight. He did not hit any high notes. He did have rather cool boots though.

    Tom Payne ‏@justanactor
    @adamlambert nice to meet you on the flight today. Enjoy our historical capital. Ps: I like your boots!

    Well, adding to eywflyer‘s post, today’s positions:
    It’s kind of nice that Trespassing hasn’t slipped that much at the walk-in stores, Target went from #18 to #21, B&N holding at #15. iTunes Overall #83, iTunes Pop #21, Amazon #40.
    WWFM actually move UP ten spots on iTunes Pop to #109, NCOE at #165. I think people want to buy the video, but has there been ANY info as to when it will be available????

    YAY!!!!!!!!! Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap It finally came!!!!!!! My AO fan edition CD arrived this morning. Of course it arrived a bit battle weary and the plastic CD cover is cracked in a couple of places but the CDs themselves look alright. Now I don’t have to worry about it arriving while I am away. But no wonder it was injured. It came in a little cardboard wrapping with not much protection. The one from Amazon came in a big book box. Of course, my FYE that I ordered from Amazon (within the States) came cracked, too.
    Now I have my three copies, costing over $20 each, including shipping (the one I bought here cost over $20, too) and just have to wait till I get to London to buy some more the day they are released there.

  43. Teri63 says:

    ITA, Luval! I had just looked him up when I saw your link to his picture. Lucky flight attendants! There was all kinds of pretty on that plane! In that picture of the Tom Payne you posted the link for, he kind of reminds me of that old picture of Adam where he’s kind of scruffy looking, sitting down leaning against a wall with his legs outstretched. Do you know the one I mean? I haven’t seen it in awhile, but it was always one of my favorites of him from his slightly younger years.

  45. riskylady says:

    Oh, yeah, forgot, NCOE video has 1,823,521 views, should reach 2 million by tomorrow at the rate it’s going.

  46. josephine says:

    Good afternoon–nice to see that Adam had some down time with friends..would imagine that Sauli is still in Finland and could be meeting him in London or abouts for new Fault promotion. Still no Fault out here in California but am gearing up to get tickets for Sacramento..Hard to imagine that performance is at Arco Arena which holds many thousands of people!!!! Will be curious to see how many people will be at concert—

  47. little dutchess says:

    To those anxiously waiting-notably nkd,glambotgram,jojosie & others, I’m sure–

    My FAULT just arrived; it’s my Fault! Of course, no time to look at it; gotta go. So it’s likely y’all will get yours soon! yay!

  48. missdfyed says:

    Yay, FAULT arrived in my mailbox today here in FL! Funny the label said if undeliverable, return to a PO box in Sweden.
    How bout you little dutchess??

    We were posting at the same time–All is good!

  49. josephine says:

    just sent husband to PO so keeping fingers crossed!!!!! Big Smile

  50. luval says:

    I just checked my cd supply. I only have 2 left not counting the one that Adam signed in WB. Gotta restock!
