BTIKM HEADING UP!  

@idolsnow

ADAM LAMBERT's "Better Than I Know Myself" enters the Canadian Hot 100 at #56.

Click on picture for dancing Gif!

Adam Lambert's new single Better Than I Know Myself was released last week and the sales numbers are now available, showing a respectable amount for the debut. According to Nielsen Soundscan, the single sold 39,000 units in the first week. This is significant, considering there was no promotion for the song other than Adam announcing it on Twitter. Some radio stations have played the song this past week, but it won't see widespread spins until the official add date next month. Therefore, it was mostly Adam's dedicated fans, the Glamberts, who propelled the sales ofBTIKM last week. Yahoo! Music reports that the song has debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #76. Again, not too shabby for a song that had no official promotion.

http://entertainment.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474980959061

Adam Lambert's "Better Than I Know Myself" bows at #76. It's the first single from Lambert's second studio album, Trespassing, which is due March 20. "Whataya Want From Me," the biggest hit from Lambert's first studio album, reached #10 in May 2010…

Andrea @powderpuffnails

paulasee said...

His voice is strained, and you can tell he's jet lagged. This appears to have been recorded the same time as his holiday messages. We have no idea of the pressure he is under. All we can do is buy buy buy and send him our love. I hope this album blows up the charts. Nobody deserves it more. When he says, "I hope you're not disappointed," I felt a bit choked up. I know we all love him. I hope he knows it, too.

ADAM LAMBERT – 2012 NEW ALBUM PREVIEW

by: Cristin Maher Yesterday

Ian Gavan, Getty Images

Fans are anxiously awaiting the release of Adam Lambert‘s 2012 album, ‘Trespassing.’ But, Glamberts won’t have to wait much longer for the LP to drop, since the former ‘American Idol‘ contestant will release ‘Trespassing’ on March 20, 2012. If the information that has been leaked about the album is any indication, Lambert’s new batch of tracks will have fans hitting the dancefloor while simultaneously contemplating life.

The ‘Whataya Want From Me’ hitmaker has been eagerly teasing some details about his new album, as he is as excited to release it as fans are to hear it! In an interview with The Advocate, Lambert spoke of his 2012 album, saying, “It’s all very personal, even on upbeat, fun tracks … I think it’s going to let people underneath my facade a little bit — a self-created and totally admitted facade.”

Lambert continued, “I’m trying to convey to my audience that you really can’t judge a book by its cover, and there’s more to the universe than you can see with your eyes. It’s like existential pop.” He also went on to give an overall explanation for the sound of the LP to Rolling Stone, saying, “There’s party music, sex music, f—ed-up-relationship S&M music. But every song explores something real.”

In a press release, Lambert also went on to say that ‘Trespassing’ is “an exciting journey through the past two years of my life.” The singer continued, “It’s been a transformative period and I really wanted to make music from what I’ve experienced.  All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality.”

So far, we know of three tracks that will appear on the Adam Lambert 2012 album: ‘Better Than I Know Myself,’ ‘Outlaws of Love,’ and ‘Shady.’ Lambert has already released his lead single, the midtempo love song ‘Better Than I Know Myself,’ which boasts beating drums, swooshing synth, and epic sing-along vocals from the entertainer (listen here).

Lately, Lambert has been performing a song called ‘Outlaws of Love’ live. The song was inspired by gay marriage and Lambert’s relationship with boyfriend Sauli Koskinen. Lambert has also discussed in the past a track titled ‘Shady,’ which features Nile Rodgers of Chic. When asked about ‘Shady,’ Lambert described it as “Nine Inch Nails meets ‘Saturday Night Fever’.” That’s some combo!

A few months ago, Lambert tweeted some lyrics from different ‘Trespassing’ tracks. He wrote, “I’m swingin’ off of my hinges / I’m cocked and I’m ready to go / Lost inside communication breakdown, better just read my lips / Comin’ in clearer when we get down / Iceberg, just the tip.” Now, it’s still unclear which song(s) these lyrics accompany, but they’re not the words to ‘Outlaws of Love’ or ‘Better Than Myself,’ so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Aside from his collaboration with Rodgers on ‘Shady,’ Lambert also worked on the album with acclaimed pop producer Dr. Luke (who has worked with the likes of Kesha, Katy Perry and Britney Spears), N.E.R.D. frontmanPharrell (who is well-versed in rock, pop and hip-hop production), Benny Blanco (produced No. 1 hits for Taio Cruz,Maroon 5 and many more) and ‘Grenade’ hitmaker and Grammy nominee Bruno Mars. The album is said to mix all types of genres, from “disco to ’90s electronica to dubstep.”

Finally, songwriter and Lambert collaborator Evan Bogart spoke about ‘Trespassing.’ In an interview, Bogart said, “Adam has really taken the reigns on this record. I haven’t heard all the songs, but what I did hear, they’re very Adam — deep and true … On the first record, it was very much a let-your-flag-show kind of thing. This one is more specific to what’s going on in his life and his relationships. I think he’s making a very personal record. He’s leading the charge and in control of it.”

Adam Lambert is psyched to release ‘Trespassing,’ telling fans, “Whoever you are, I hope you can find yourself in these songs. If that happens, I’ve won.” Be sure to mark March 20 on your calendars as ‘Trespassing’ day!

Thanks to @AdamNews_de

"Whataya Want From Me" was one of the most successful songs in German broadcast in 2010 based on royalty turnover!

According to German GEMA (Society for Musical Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights) "Whataya Want From Me" was one of the most successful songs on air based on the turnover of GEMA royalties you have to pay to play a song publicly in Germany (e.g. radio, disco, etc.).

Due to its major success on the radio and a remarkable usage on TV (one spot as theme music for the weekly equivalent of "Hell's Kitchen" and numerous plays as background music for various other TV shows) it gained a satisfying 5th place in their chart for 2010!

However, unfortunately this doesn't all this money goes to Adam as GEMA gives the collected royalties to the actual authors (songwriters, componists, publishers) which in this means Pink and her team.

Anyway, it still shows the remarkable success of Adam's song in Germany!

***********

Now Christmas is behind and I’m back at home in Hollywood!Time difference has been stabilized and I’m back in California rhythm. I have to admit that it was wonderful to get back here to the sun and warm weather after all that rain in Finland. After all, we are in December here and the temperature is +26 C. Not bad!!Today I even managed to burn my shoulders in the sun. Whoah!! It is amazing how much the sun affects us people. I feel like, once again, I have so much more energy when I'm here. I do miss Finland, my friends and family a lot, but it was soooooo wonderful to get back home here. I have a strong feeling that this is where I belong and am supposed to live.

So, the past three days have gone with resting because of the time difference. In fact, today I left the house for the first time and went out. I went to the city to eat and to see the newest Sherlock Holmes movie. It was insanely good!!!I liked the first part a lot, but this second part was even better. It’s definitely worth seeing!! I think it’s already in the movie theatres in Finland too?? After the movie I drove to the top of the parking garage to admire the city and the sunset.

Now I’m just looking forward to the New Year and I have to hope for an even better next year. I don’t have any specific plans for New Year yet, but really you don’t need anything else for it than the best possible company.

xoxo

Queen Guitarist Brian May Is Rocking Into 2012

QUEEN lead guitarist Brian May is looking at the possibility of a tour with drummer Roger Taylor

" I hesitate to say this, but it may happen," he said. "As soon as we appeared with Adam Lambert at the VMAs, the phone started ringing and it hasn't stopped since.

"There are an awful lot of people out there who would like to see that package, so we may do something. But I'm not going to say what it might be!"
