Adds were updated. Now second-most added with 29. That's what I'm seeing as well. It's second on both Mediabase's monitored and unmonitored updates. But does anyone know why HitsDD is reporting it as the most-added? It seems to always differ slightly from Mediabase, but it never explains its methodology or gives add counts. I think they just wrote their recap post early, forgetting the holiday weekend would mean a delayed adds report. They get their stats from Mediabase (as is displayed on their add board page), but their writeup appears to have been based upon the initial 6:00 Eastern data, which wasn't final this week like it normally is.

To be fair, i think he never was in
It will be interesting to watch how will this affect (if it affect at all) to his career in the USA. In UK there won't be any problem, there are successfull examples of singers who were out from the beginning of their careers, but in the USA you can count with the fingers of one hand the number of openly gay singers who had a top 40 hit in the last decade. And if you take the most popular example, Adam Lambert, it's pretty clear that radio was the format he received less support.
In a couple of weeks he release the album in the USA so hopefully he will perform Stay with me on tv wich probably would assure the song being a top 10 hit on billboard. In fact the song is near top 10 on itunes and climbing on airplay in three formats so maybe it would get there without a performance (but better if he does some promo)

As predicted it seems his album will be number one this sunday in UK. And Stay with me is number one at midweeks, but i think it still has a chance of regain number one (that run must be close)

This track feels too much like it was created with a focus group in mind. I can hear the record executives pitch: "We need a 'Someone Like You' on this album! Let's make it about a guy who wants more than a one night stand". It's too calculated.

Anyone think this could go number 1 on AC? It just has the feel of an AC number 1.

Let's make it about a guy who wants more than a one night stand". It's too calculated. To be honest, i don't think both songs have nothing to do with each other more than the fact that both singers are great vocallist. The theme of Someone like you is getting your sight back on a relationship that it didn't work but it was a love relationship. Stay with me is more about a one night stand that he doesn't want to leave because he feels lonely. And frankly, calculation never works in music or literature. This is not generic pop anyway

Right now, the only format that he has a chance at topping is Triple A, considering he's moving fast and the only song standing in his way is "Come With Me Now". He does have a slight chance at HAC and CHR, but only when he gets those top 10 spins will he reach #1 on HAC. I could be wrong, though.

Is he going to perform in the USA to promote the album? Right now the song is climbing on itunes (number 7 right now) and i think it will be a contender for number one with the right push

I have a feeling this will be like "Say Something". The duet gets more attention, yet the original is far superior. Hopefully I'm wrong, because the original is so much better. Mary J. Blige doesn't sing with the same emotion and passion Sam does on the track.

I don't think that'll happen. Say something exploded after the duet. Saty with me is top 20 on pop and hot ac (and top 10 on AAA) and the original version is top 10 on itunes and climbing. The duet will simply add more sales

Not a good update today in terms of spins increase, but a good gain in audience.
Right now i'm not the only one is number one on itunes and Stay with me is number seven.
With the right promo, the single and the album are going to be really huge, because there's a big interest in him right now

There are elements of the song that I like, but, in general, it's a little boring. I still feel this way. He should've just covered DeBarge's 'Stay With Me' & I'd probably be all over it. *sighs*

Number 5 on itunes and climbing. Given the fact that he is at number 4 with I'm not the only one and at number 3 is Linkin Park with Rebellion, both song dropping, i think Stay with me could be number 3 in the next hours

Up at 3 on itunes.
It's quite interesting that I'm not the only one and Leave your lover down quite slowly for song with no airplay.
He has 7 song on itunes top 100 right now (including Not in that way and Money on my mind)
When is he going to release the album in the USA?

Based on the pre-order success, I feel like this has to be doing six figures, right?
