Yes, #67 on pop. I don't have a link to the PDF which has the Hot AC data, so IDK where it was on Hot AC in the Sunday update.

Preorders very rarely do well on iTunes in any region unless the artist is in very high demand. They normally do quite well in the UK given enough hype. Single pre-orders are quite a significant factor in the UK charts due to the held back release stratergy (I think the UK is like the only place not to do on air/on sale releases for singles lol). Quite like the song, think it'll be a small-moderate hit if he promote its. |

I love the song but Adam Lambert isn't pulling a lot of weight-- at least, I don't think anyway. |

I would say he's somewhat known/respected - I mean people know who he is/think he's a good singer, but he's more associated with American Idol/Queen rather than as an artist himself I think (at least in the UK). |

Yes, #67 on pop. I don't have a link to the PDF which has the Hot AC data, so IDK where it was on Hot AC in the Sunday update. It's on the HAC chart at #50 now I believe, and got 15 HAC adds yesterday ( #1 most added). |

I actually think this could do decently at pop. Maybe top 20/25 (which let's face it, would be great for him). I think this is hot. The whistle chorus is a bit underwhelming but nonetheless.

A top 20 would be fantastic for him. 67 is quite good for him in his first week and even before adds day, if he receibe a good amount of adds he could be top 50 soon, he never had problems to reach the top 60, top 50 on the other hand was more problematic, even if i had you had its troubles back in the day, so if the song climb a good rhythm without stalling will be a really good sign.
The song didn't drop that much on itunes either (i think the position is a bit lower for all the voice songs) so it could be back in the top 100 if the promo has an impact

That short video clip is far more interesting than any of his prior videos and it looks expensive. As I thought, he new label is going all out on the first single. If it doesn't hit, with Adam's only moderate radio success in the past, I don't think the second single will get much of a push. I think this will be hit. I like it. I just wish the lyrics were better.

I just wish the lyrics were better. I love the song now. I cannot stop pressing the replay button. The lyrics can be a little more tighter but based on what some of the music bloggers who have heard the album "Ghost Town" isn't even the best or strongest song. There are potentially 4-5 radio single songs. I hope it can at least make top #10. |

Is it just me or was there really no point to that video whatsoever? Like...it doesn't even really go anywhere, and a good chunk of it is just these extra people.

Wow, what a bore of a video. This has zero replay value.

The only thing I took away from the video is that he has nice teeth. Definitely could've done without all the extras.

The video is getting rave reviews in the comments section on YouTube lol
tbh i have no problem at all with the video, maybe those quick cuts and edits made it a bit difficult to concentrate on some of the details.

No video with that concept is going to have much of a replay value, but I thought it was done rather well (the edits & cinematography were v nice). It fit the song perfectly.

I love the song and the video was at least interesting, but looooool I love that he is still serving face for the seats at the back of the balcony. I do wish there was more voguing from the dancers though. EDIT: Poor Fancy.  |

The video got me dizzy. It will do it's job but I was expecting something different. Maybe with a hit song under his belt he'll get a bigger budget next time, although I don't think Hype Williams comes cheap. Those dancers are all Adam's friends some going back to pre-idol days. Love seeing his friend Raja from drag queen in the video. Seriously, outside of the public eye Adam has a very ~interesting life and some of the most eclectic friends and they all good people.

Yeah Hype Williams doesn't come cheap but almost anyone could have made that overly simplistic video for a lot less lol. It's basically a lower quality re-hash of "For Your Entertainment" and "If I Had You" videos. Still love the song though.

Heard the song on KIIS this evening. Wasn't expecting their support this early. Shall be interesting to see how heavily they spin it.
The video was a bore. The angry faces and poses are dire. He should limit them and add more dynamics to his expressions.

For your entertainment is a good video (Britney must think the same because she shot her own version on till the world ends) but If i had you looks very cheap. It's a pity that he is not able to translate to videos the buzz he is able to create on stage. Anyway, 38 adds is a good thing. Hopefully the promo will put this in the top 100 on itunes again because it seems that he will get at least at first good airplay |
