Also, WKTU in NY has supposedly added the dance remix of "WWFM".

Oh cool! I know they were the ones that premiered the remix. :)

couldnt those spins be made up by new markets?

It would have to be a lot of spins. Z100 is a LOT of AI.

Yup, I don't think there's any station that matches Z100 in terms of AI, probably not even 92.3 (that btw, still ignores Adam.. until when? Even the SF Top 40 station, KMVQ, started spinning..)

The important thing is that though he lost AI in Top 40 today, overall there was still a small combined AI gain today:
ADAM LAMBERT - Whataya Want From Me = 40.382 (+ 0.012)

As long as he continues to gain combined AI, hopefully his Billboard 100 rank won't be affected too much by being taken out of power in Z100.. and I hope Z100 put WWFM back in power rotation in the future..

He should crack the top 15 in a few days. I'm just worried about going any further on top 40.

Me too Foxx, but I hope he's able to crack the top 10 at least as well.

Awesome to see this at #16--hopefully the rise will continue.

Obviously tastes differ so I don't know if you'll like it, but I would definitely recommend checking it out. It's legitimately really good music--a couple songs I'm not crazy about and then a lot of good-to-amazing. :)

Makes the AMA's look like Sesame Street.
I love bad-ass Adam, he has guts and he sounds amazing

[Kworb]

Hm no still a mess. The song is so boring, it can never keep my attention. And the dancers were even worse than at the AMAs. But I guess for the venue it was a fun party.

Kworb, they weren't his dancers, I don't even think they were "dancers" at all LOL just some peeps adding some atmosphere, Yeah, they sucked.
I think the song works for something like this, it's just this in your face dance song. It introduces him perfectly in these settings.
If you like Adam, the outfit was enough to hold anyones attention. ;)
Australia seems to love him, so it's all good.

WWFM got an OHP spin tonight.

I effing love that Mardi Gras performance! The boy has balls. Literally. ;)

I think he should do that performance on his appearance on AI. Just for the hell of it ;)

I thought the male/male romantic dance pair on his SYTYCD Australia performance were "risky" enough, but this? This takes the case. I loved it!

[Ke$haStan]

I'm still hoping Theo was right with his orginal prediction!

Seriously? That was so laughably terrible, I don't even have words to describe it. Cheesy doesn't begin to do it justice. Maybe that performance did "introduce him perfectly" to Australia ... if they want Aussies to remember Adam as America's Next Top Drag Idol.

[StarSprinkles]

You do realize that this was for LGBT Mardi Gras, right? His audience was a bunch of seriously drunk, drugged out gay people at 7:45 AM, after a full night of partying.

Yes, and I'm guessing that will be his primary audience for years to come. I'm glad they loved him.

Well, this is a WWFM thread -- which is a song I happen to like and one which I am interested to watch on the charts. But if people are gonna bring that steaming pile of crap FYE into this thread, and especially if people are going to embed a video of that wretchedly awful performance, you can bet your a$$ I'm gonna bash it.

agreed.
even though it wasnt on the album I am insanely in love with the bonus track Voodoo right now. It's my jamm

[satanicfloret]

Voodoo is insanely good - WHY is this not on the main album?
(Although it will be for me when it's released in the UK next month)

oh and good radio update today! Someone will be along with actual numbers shortly but WWFM is closing on Baby and given a day or two more should overtake it.

Eh it's no big deal, if I didn't post the updates someone else would

[Maximillian]

This will be number 15 on HAC as well probably within the next few days... two songs are falling off quickly and his gains are gonna help push him up past 2 others. :)

You may think the song's a pile of sh*t. Others don't. Your subjective response is not the Word of God. I wish you had noticed that the vocals were hit/miss as that would have been a valid attack. If you want to attack the performance, at least attack it for a good reason.

Instead you wrote that Aussies will now "...remember Adam as America's Next Top Drag Idol," which showed ignorance about the nature of the occasion (gay/lesbian Mardi Gras) and about the nature of "drag," as Adam was not wearing drag, nor do men in drag make up the primary audience of the Sydney Mardi Gras.

However, I do agree with you that the performance should not have been posted here. This is a WWFM thread, not an FYE thread.

Back to WWFM. Good update, no?

[StarSprinkles]

Whoa. Amazing update!!!! Go Adam!

[brb]

Hot, the + and - signs in that chart are wrong and make it look like Bieber gained on Adam and Adam gained on Rihanna when in fact it was the opposite.

WWFM will be #18 in HAC today once "Firefiles" go recurrent. I expect it to pass Nickelback soon. As for "Two Is Better Than One," that song practically went no where in the past week, so WWFM will probably need to reach its spins level to pass it, and I think it will take at least a week before WWFM passes 1,800 spins in HAC.
Also, Colbie is at #20 with a bigger bullet and hasn't been HAC breakout yet, so she might pass him, so I think it will be between places #16-#18 in HAC in a week, not #15 yet.

I think it's already a hit, but I have to agree with this post. Let's face it, had it had over 100 Top 40 adds when Z100 bumped it to power rotation, I think it could have been in the top 10 by now, and could have reached #1 as Theo predicted.

Looking at Cumulus, stations like KRBE, WWWQ, WTWR, and KCHZ started spinning WWFM by giving it 4-5 spins per day, a higher rotation than Cumulus usually start with. Adding that to KLIF, the Dallas non-monitored Cumulus station, that recommended WWFM and its video last week in their facebook page, but when contacted, said they hoped they could spin it soon (and now spin it like 5 times per day,) seem to me like our and RCA's claims about Cumulus in the past were true.

To the trolls that said Cumulus didn't add WWFM because "it wasn't tested well," look at other monitored Top 40 stations in the same markets as these Cumulus stations. You'll find WSTR, WVKS and KMXV increased spins this week.

Had Cumulus added it earlier as they should have, I think things would have been different now.

I wish WWFM could still at least enter the top 10, but I'm not sure. Rihanna will pass it soon and if it doesn't pass The Script soon, it could reach #15 and then drop back to #16 when the next published chart is released, so I dunno.
