My advice remains to use Spotify and to buy tracks on iTunes. These are the two places that are most influential within the music business and specifically to radio PDs and Music Directors. Q3 when the album comes out we should buy on iTunes (from here of course) each song separately not the complete album feature, correct?

I looked all over for a really good gif, but imagine a crowd running madly towards him and he turns and says HEEL, then everyone stops as if there were an invisible wall and calms down. That is my image. Although it is most often an animal reference, I think of it as more Adam's ability to command attention. As I remember it, he really was telling us all to settle down an behave....and that is how he did it....but it was so funny and unexpected that the fandom fully broke down in laughter...and behaved! haha The fans were getting on somebody's case, I'm thinking a DJ about not playing a song enough or saying something about Adam. He didn't say it when Levine got in the crossfires so I'm pretty sure it was when we wanted a song to be on the radio.

Buy some, but not all, of the tracks from iTunes. Do not opt to complete the album. If you complete the album, all your track sales are wiped out. My recommendation is: - Buy Ghost Town from iTunes now. - Do not pre-order the album from iTunes. (If you do pre-order it, just make sure to cancel it before release week.) - Pre-order the album (if you wish) from any retail other than iTunes. Adam's store will be a great place to preorder.

So why are we gaming Shazam and why is this request not coming directly from Adam, WB or Ss? I don't think we can game Shazam, but if we have one and only one vote, we might as well throw it somewhere useful, so I totally appreciate this info, as well as so many others we are given along the way. I think it would be a tad direct to come from either Adam or WB or Sh. themselves. We fans organizing ourselves is one thing, them trying to herd us, while maybe appreciated by yourself, might not sit right with the next person, if it were to happen. I think, stuff like this we can certainly work out ourselves, and as you say, the chances that the few thousand voices that read this here, will actually tip the scales is not huge. But hey, it's always well worth a try. We fans have tipped the scales many times before, that's what we are here for and good at. Talking about herding the flock, i want to thank everyone who helped me sort out, why you all like the word 'heel' so much. I got to agree, his new image brings that side of him a bit more to the forefront again. The same side of this Adam/fan relationship that 6 years ago resulted in the 'Dark Lord Screamanova' and all kinds of other jokes. I guess, that twinkle in the eye seems to be there for the English speaker and just gets lost in translation otherwise. In the picture, Adam looks at us slightly amused and bewildered, questioning everyone's sanity and all that, at least, that was my read and I was just not seeing in 'heel'. But I get it now....and clearly we are a willing and obedient following, aren't we? So, thanks for your help, and now I need to go through and get the last few pages caught up. brb I don't see bewildered or amused in that picture. I only see steely determination, 'I am moving forward with what I intend to do and you can either come along or I will simply go on without you'. I cannot image Adam who preaches independence and following your own path expecting or implying that we should all fall in line and keel to his command.

Good advice! And with Spotify, you can have your streaming count with a free subscription if you use it on your PC/Mac. You just have to have patience with the ads. If you use the Spotify app on your phone, you will need to have a paid account (small monthly fee); that's just how it works. Also, you can get the premium Spotify account for your PC/MAC and you won't have to deal with ads. If you haven't signed up yet, it's free for 30 days and $9.99 a month thereafter. Sorry if this is repeat info for all of you. There is free Spotify streaming for phones and tablets. They launched it in December 2013. iPhone App: itunes.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music/id324684580?mt=8Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music&hl=enSpotify is now free on mobile and tablet. Listen to the right music, wherever you are. With Spotify, you have access to a world of music. You can listen to artists and albums, or create your own playlist of your favorite songs. Want to discover new music? Choose a ready-made playlist that suits your mood or get personalized recommendations. Listen for free on mobile • Play any artist, album, or playlist on shuffle mode Listen for free on tablet • Play any song, any time Spotify Premium features • Play any song, any time on any device--mobile, tablet, or your computer • Download music for offline listening. • Enjoy amazing sound quality. • No ads – just uninterrupted music. • No commitment - cancel any time you like The app is free, of course. However, on-demand, specific song streaming is NOT possible on mobile, only on a computer, unless you have a PAID Spotify account. So you will need a paid Spotify account in order to stream on your mobile phone. Without it, you can only shuffle play on mobile, not do on-demand streaming of a song. You will need a paid subscription on a table/iPad as well.

So why are we gaming Shazam and why is this request not coming directly from Adam, WB or Ss? Hi! First off the music industry is a game. There are all sorts of strategies and promos to maximize what is out there to impact radio and sales. The good news is that with Warner and DMG on board Adam has a team that is full invested and seemingly has a master plan to launch era three. And it all comes down to the music and "Ghost Town" apparently is a great song! It's very exciting! Adam or Shazam or both will be directing us about Shazam. I know that for certain. Warner needs to and is working with radio. I received the info to get the word out to not Shazam early and then have fans waste their one Shazam per account. All I know is that the info is 100% solid and it's deemed important. Also, when a song is brand new, an entire fandom glued to radio to hear the song the first day or even first week is likely too obvious and shows our true colors as mega Adam fans. Thank you for the add'l information.
