I presume this person is an "insider" which explains he's able to acquire the numbers before the reveal of the official Wed. Midweek Chart. If so, 7080 is about 2 days' sale and 3869 is just from 1 day, then they're damn good, considering how saturated the UK market is and who Adam is competing with, and his current profile status in the UK. Yes, I know the single is largely due to the "fan buying campaign" but it's a strategy to get him visible on the chart and noticed by the radio, then we fans got to do what we got to do. Right now, the single is still holding at #15 and the album at #28 on UK iTunes overall. Honestly, I didn't think NCOE could crack in to top 20 even with our fan efforts, I mean, all those songs ahead of NCOE are pretty much big everywhere and played to death by the radio everywhere. I'll be very pleased and ecstatic to see NCOE hold its own (organic or inorganic) within top 20 till this Sunday! A side note, Carrie's Blown Away was #10 on her debut Midweek Chart but wound up at #11 on the official album chart; her single "Good Girl" didn't make it on either chart, despite R2's spinning and a much bigger AI impression than NCOE. I didn't realize that she has that many fans in the UK to get her album to #1. Is country music big there? She wasn't #1 |

Gale Whittington @galechester UPDATED: 112+ Links to Articles/Vids on ADAM LAMBERT's American Idol Judge Rumor! It's all over the Net and TV!... fb.me/1SEKCkLCdWow, the AI judge rumor sure got a ton of press. I imagine it is his management's job to let the honchos at Idol see how there is lots of interest and excitement about this possibility. If he was committing his charmicide week after week, it would be great for him and Idol too. |

I didn't realize that she has that many fans in the UK to get her album to #10. Is country music big there? Not really. My step-dad likes Neil Diamond and my granddad likes Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney and Josh Turner. And those are like the only country fans I've met here :dunno: |

I didn't realize that she has that many fans in the UK to get her album to #10. Is country music big there? She does have a fan base in the UK, I mean nothing like in the US but reportedly, she sold out the Royal Albert Hall (5000 capacity) in less than 2 hrs. And, because of her mega status here in the US, which gives her a bigger cloud than Adam and that apparently translates to R2 spinning. Despite we live in a digital age, radio is still the main vehicle for music sales. Sad but true! But, radio is not the only means to a long term successful career! Adam will zig-zag his way to achieve his goal!! |
