I don't think we will ever know the full impact of the events on Adam's album release. But it is not hard to know it had some impact. All of his tv promotion for release week cancelled. Empire said something about coronavirus and their shipment but I don't know if they were able to ship on release week and have them count. I didn't order from them this time but I think many did. Amazon unable to ship in some parts. I did get mine from Amazon and Target (US) but I did read somewhere that Amazon could not ship in some countries. And the shopping for the CD in Target was likely hurt in many places if they were even open in many places. Then there was the problem with bad CD's that they said they would pull. I don't know where they pulled from or if it hurt sales in those places. Mine are defective but I don't care. I'm just glad that I got them in time to count for 1st week sales. All of those things were out of everyone's control. But I can't help but wonder what his numbers would have been, lol.
As far as a single to radio, didn't Adam already say Roses would not be the single? If he does send one to radio (I'm rather doubtful that he will) at least it will be something he wrote because he co-wrote all of them.

I think she said "he sounds expensive; like liquid gold" Oh thanks, that might have been it. I think there was another one of her saying he sounds like expense chocolate or something. She was/is very much a fan of Adam's voice. Which makes me happy, as she herself has a beautiful one. What I find even more interesting is that in 2018, a year before we knew the name of the album, she said "Unicorn. His voice is a velvet unicorn."

I think we can all agree that Adam was very unlucky with the logistics of his releases, but I believe in karma and that it will be alright On to Roses... I have not heard anywhere that it would not be a single, and I remember that Adam said in one of his recent chats that he was actually planning to perform "Roses" during promo. I will have to check if it was the track by track IG chat. Here during the track by track IG chat he talks about "Roses" and he mentions at the 21min mark how excited he was to perform the song on TV, but that Corona cancelled that.. www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=lfPx594PRRI&feature=emb_logo

I stream and share as much as I can. Not sure how it all works in terms of getting on major playlists when there's no single promoted currently, but I do hope that some songs emerge as favorites and get on select playlists organically. It looks like "Roses" is very popular. I think Roses could be a potential radio single. With Velvet. Roses already has 1.3 mill streams on Spotify. "Velvet" and "Roses" appear as really good single choices to me too. I am a bit biased though as "Roses" is possibly my absolute favorite song on the album.

I am a bit biased though as "Roses" is possibly my absolute favorite song on the album. My fav is Stranger you are. But personal favourites. And what’s best for Radio are different things. Roses is definitely a mainstream current stand out. Logistically it’s hard to know what Adam and His team have planned. In this uncertain times. We know the Vegas shows have been rescheduled. I’m presuming QAL Europe shows well be too. So won’t see any real movement probably till at least Late September.

There are predictions from scientist that there will be a 2nd wave of the virus in the fall/winter. So Adam's Vegas residency could be postponed again.

"Stranger You Are" is a really good song too, and fun live. I love the whole album and there are only very few songs that i occasionally skip. I don't think there is much of a firm plan or strategy right now as too much is up in the open, especially as Adam also has to put QAL into the equation. We'll see. Strange times for sure. Good to see Adam relatively relaxed. I guess he realizes that there is not much he can do with circumstances out of control.

Thing is: it's not like any other artist is getting a headstart or something. It's affecting everyones promo equally. I guess that makes it more tollerable.

But with no video it does not seem he was planning to send it to radio. And I do think he said that at one time. Of course plans change so who knows?
