After months of waiting, get ready for “The Original High” this month. We’ve been treated with 4 songs already but are anxious to hear the full album. Adam is out promoting at various radio stations, on TV and doing phone interviews. With “Ghost Town” slowly moving up the charts, it will be interesting to see if TOH becomes Adam’s second number one album. With timely appearances on TV during the week of the album release, his casual fans should be aware of the new music and help generate sales. Here’s hoping to a successful launch and that it leads to a solo tour!

Enjoy the chat!

    I adored watching Adam sit down for those long relaxed chats on AOL and Huffpost. Yeah, I could have done without some of those questions. He has learned that he doesn’t have to answer every question exactly and just relate to the parts that he wants to talk about. Is it my imagination or is Adam’s speaking voice pitched lower lately? Sort of goes with the use of his lower register more when singing, ever since QAL and of course on the new album. It could just be that he is relaxed in these long interviews while phone interviews or rushed ones at events are more tense so his voice goes up.

    Okay back to Spotify! I’m streaming the entire album – is that okay or are we supposed to stream GT more?

    Streaming to get Adam’s TOH to #1 BB Charts is a dedicate Teamwork. Heart

    We love Adam and we want him to get recognized for his talents he truly deserves. It’s his time Now! Star Star Star
    After this crucial time it will be his Grammys, multi other awards and hopefully his TOUR.

    At first I thought my streams didn’t make a dent. Why shouldn’t I just go out and buy the tracks, cds and whatever to help him. And then I thought … that wouldn’t make a dent either. And not everyone can afford to buy multi stuff. His fan base will do anything for him including selling their own first born or their boyfriends. What about the non-fans or casual fans out there. How can we get them? We need to reach out.

    Then this person (from Atop) said about being a part of STREAMING group eloquently which I really LOVE!!!!

    Hope that people will stream their hearts out for Adam. Heart Heart Heart

    Thinking of how powerful a group of dedicated people can be.

    For me, imaging that I am part of a group made streaming feel so impactful.

    It’s not that I, personally, have to stream 1500 times and only get 1 album sale for all that work. It is that just 1500 fans, together, with just one click equal 1 album sale. That makes every repeat feel so powerful. Just 1499 more people have to do the same thing, and every few minutes, another album sold.

    Feel the power together.

    And thank Spotify for reporting all numbers.

    So that all you have to do is put a track on repeat. Sound on or off. Every few minutes, 1500 people together, another album sold.

    @adamlambert’s voice is just ridiculous. Come ON!

  10. ultimathule says:

    Need SPOTIFY help –

    When go into TOH album, keeps repeating the same song instead of proceeding to the next one.

    “There I Said It” and “Rumors” won’t play on Deluxe version – says won’t play in U.S. They do play on the regular release.

    Thanks, anyone!

  11. skaschep says:

    ulti: you probably clicked the repeat button twice so that it repeats the song instead of the album. Try to click on it twice again (first one to disable, second one to put it on repeat all).

    I don’t know about why those two tracks won’t play on the Deluxe version.

    Streaming the full album is good for the album chart. Putting a few more Ghost Towns in between is better since that also will help for the single chart.

    I’m adding my few cents by streaming GT on Rdio on my work laptop with a US VPN connection running. My home computer is streaming for the Netherlands.

    Donna @Ala4afam
    The HDD predictions today are only for DEBUTS. It won’t include Swifty, Muse, etc. It doesn’t mean he will be #2.

  13. ultimathule says:

    Donna @Ala4afam
    @ShadyAlien No, he should get a top 5 debut if we push hard. 3 albums debuting in the top 5 will be good

  14. ultimathule says:

    Thanks, skaschep – I’ll check it out –

  15. glambotgram says:

    Wow those sales predictions are about 1/2 of what Trespassing brought in. I know it is just a prediction but those numbers are not good.

  16. TLKC says:

    It was to be expected that TOH would sell approximately 50% of what Trespassing sold. Adam is in the ballpark in terms of meeting industry expectations.

    Bottomline, stream as much as you can on Spotify. Adam can distance himself from Hilary and Nate on the Sales + Streaming chart if we play as many of his TOH songs as much as possible.

    Also, keep your eyes on the prize – Ghost Town. Adam wants and needs a radio hit. A Number One single can turn a CD into gold. (And that’s the way it usually happens – single first, CD follows.)

  17. TLKC says:

    I could be wrong but I think Adam might be able to beat Muse. They will probably get about half of last week’s 75,000. Also, their streaming sales = approximately 4,000.

    Taylor Swift is the wild card. She’ll be in the 65-70,000 range on Sales + Streaming. Definitely #2 after James Taylor on that chart.

  18. TLKC says:

    GUYS PLEASE NOTE: The BB predictions show Hillary ahead of Adam on the SPS (Sales Plus Streaming). If this is the case, we need to keep up the streaming big time because her sales predictions are within the margin of error.

    “There’s a lot of atmosphere happening in these songs, and it’ll be interesting to see how they fare. Lambert doesn’t have the gauzy stare of Sam Smith or the wry sensitivity of Sheeran. But he really doesn’t need either of these qualities. The pop world just needs to catch up with what he’s doing.”

  22. luval says:

    Ok, I know this has been answered but one more time….is it better to stream the whole album, just Ghost Town or doesn’t it matter??

  23. TLKC says:

    That review is wonderful and so pro Adam. Thanks for posting it, ulti.

  24. luval says:

    Donna ‏@Ala4afam 26m26 minutes ago

    Another prediction will come out Friday. It can go up or down. Final predicted numbers will be NEXT Tuesday. Final BB will be next WED.

  25. TLKC says:

    Quoting the second review ulti posted at at 4:50pm:

    “First single “Ghost Town” likely won’t be the breakout the album needs. And that’s a shame. It’s an ominous, sexy track built on spare dance-pop instrumentation and spooky whistles. It seems much too subtle for massive radio play and has yet to crack the Billboard Hot 100.

    GT will crack the BB10 soon if we keep Spotifying it but the reviewer may be right about it not being a Top 10 hit.

    Adam needs to put out a Maroon 5/Katy PerryTaylor Swift type single. The only TOH song that fits is “Evil In the Night” but it doesn’t appear to be in the cards. Maybe Adam wants to be known for a more sophisticated sound but the iHeart announcer and several other DJ’s have highlighted EITN, TTIDS, TOH, which are also very catchy.

    This picking singles business is tricky and we don’t know all the ins and outs but that’s how it seems to me.

    The only way we ever get to one of those songs on the radio is to make GT as big a hit as possible.

  26. ultimathule says:

    And thanks, skaschep – it was the Repeat Button – so simple – lol

  27. TLKC says:

    Final BB is Tuesday evening. I have been posting the results for the last two weeks.

  28. TLKC says:

    In reply to your question, luval:

    The CD gets a kick every time you stream any combination of songs from it so, technically, streaming GT 10 times contributes just as much to CD sales as streaming GT once along with 9 other songs.

    It also means that streaming GT over and over again gives a 10 X kick to GT on the BB100 singles chart.

    HOWEVER, no one can find out if looping one song over and over again is detected by Spotify and moderated in the final numbers.

    So, what to do?

    Some fans have created a shortened TOH playlist to ensure that GT plays very frequently but some are risking it and going for broke.

    ETA: I am playing 10 songs from the CD but that’s because Spotify Canada doesn’t contribute to BB US sales and GT isn’t anywhere on radio here at the moment. If it was, I would go for broke GT all the way (even though I would probably go cross-eyed from the repetition.)

    Not sure what this means

    Hey #GLAMBERTS, @AdamLambert is stopping by tomorrow morning for a Q + A! Use #AskAdam and your ?’s might get picked!

  30. TLKC says:

    FYI, if can run YouTube and Spotify simultaneously, you could play GT official video on YouTube. That won’t help the CD but it will help the single.

  31. luval says:

    Thanks, TLKC… Am getting a little sad. I think we are all (Glamberts) trying so hard but yes, radio play is still so damn important. Even though sales predictions are half of what Trespassing got I feel that is just the way the music biz has changed in 3 years.

    I just love TOH. Any song that has “summertime” in it should be blasted in the summer!!!! And am confessing here…I wish he wouldn’t advertise the album as 90’s throwback (although I guess it is). The fans he should have were not even born then. Am very happy when he uses words like “current” because I think the album is beyond current!!

    And Ghost Town is such a great song. I have played it for people, sent Ellen show youtube to people & they say they love it! I don’t know. Times have changed. Just gotta keep streaming.

    Was at Barnes & Noble after work today & they had 2 copies of TOH. Not sure how many they started with. I bought one & put the other one on the top shelf. Smile

  32. TLKC says:

    Gaaah! We can’t get VH1 here in Canada but great for Adam!

    Pat H @PattiHum
    James numbers are big. Not surprised. Looks like TOH will be #2. After streams, possibly #3 because of the Swift factor.

  36. ultimathule says:
  37. TLKC says:

    I love Ghost Town. It’s a great song but it is a slow grower. People need to hear it quite a few times before they get it.

    Most of the big hits are very catchy very quickly. TOH, TIDS and EITN and The Light have that energy. (One of the radio DJ’s said that they were playing The Light over and over again and I can see why.)

    In the meantime, GT it is and Imma streaming.

  38. TLKC says:

    Adam might be fourth. Hillary might beat him on SPS chart based on the margin of error.

    Adam Lambert (Warner Bros.) Sales = 33-38k, SPS = 36-41k
    Hilary Duff (RCA) Sales = 25-30k, SPS =30-35k

    She’s RCA. Do you think they put her out this week on purpose? Motivates me. Devil

    FINALLY!!!!! The Duke and I were driving home tonite listening to our new CD in the car which has a great sound system when for no other reason than to hear the “pop” sound of the moment on the radio and compare it to Adam’s pop-I changed to the Y100 IHeart station in Ft Myers, FL where we’ve been trying for 5 weeks to hear GT (and never have!). They were in the middle of GT (!!!!!)Really!!!! (we were so surprised I had to double check that I hadn’t just switched the song I was playing to GT (I wasn’t). Then when it finished the DJ said it was Adam Lambert Ghost Town and went on to give a number of accolades about his appearance last night at the IHeart studio in NYC. WOW!!! I’m in heaven!

  47. ultimathule says:

    That’s just so GREAT, little dutchess !

  48. adamized says:

    Great news little dutchess! I went out after work to do a bit of recognizance. First stop was BestBuys. Their record section is tiny but they had a kiosk for new releases. I could not find TOH anywhere then I saw one left just sitting there buy itself. I really couldn’t determine where it had originally roosted. Took it up front and asked them to see if there were more. The clerk said that there were a few more but she didn’t know where exactly so I went ahead and bought it. Then headed over to Target. Again not a huge section of CDs but JT and Adam shared the top row with two sections each. All others were below with just one section. Both Adam and JT looked to have about the same # left. Scooped up my five and went my merry way.

    Has anyone received their fan packages? I’m still waiting for mine.

    iHeart was so wonderful last night. He was so happy. If he isn’t worried I’m not going to worry. This CD is so fantastic with so many amazing songs. I can’t imagine it won’t be successful.

    I think the boy’s veneer is starting to crack. How many times do you have to answer the same questions? Even if he starts his answer with a bit of sarcasm he always brings it around to give the best interview possible. Anybody that says he isn’t a good actor is crazy Disdain

  49. Kiwi says:

    AOL interview was the best I’ve seen in years. An interviewer who knew what he was talking about and intelligent audience questions….from mainly GUYS!!!! There was actually some original content.
