FYE went GOLD. So, Adam is doing really well!!!! Keep in mind, FYE is only 2 months old. It's just going to GROW from now on especially with him promoting it Internationally.
This album has HUGE potention.
This is just the begining.
Go to VH1 top 20 countdown and vote, WWFM video.
why is kris being played and not adam. he has less sales!!
Anon 2- I can't figure that out either. Kris has less everything, yet gets a lot of airplay. What's going on!
I think part of it is the DJs. I was driving home last night and started to hear WWFM on the radio (familiar guitar) but the DJ kept talking over it and said something like, well you guys wanted this, so here it is. And then he started playing another song before WWFM had even finished. If that DJ had been anywhere near me, I'd have decked him. How RUDE! (from 100.3 Z00 out of Portland).
I had the same experience as above. One DJ said that and once they played WWFM and said he sounds like a girl and they mocked him. I was SO mad I wanted to call and tell them that Justin Biber sounds like a girl and they talk SO nice about him.
This makes me sick. What can we do? I don't want to be nusty like the other fans of you know who. Adam will not appreciate it. We need to be good Cus that's what he wants us to be.
At the end,the good wins. But, keep requesting WWWM whenever you can.
Also, can't find FYE in the stores - in a Walmart today, there were literally hundreds of SB's and several Kris's but not a single FYE to be found. In Target, Kris A has a tab with his name on it and his album stacked behind. There was one FYE (which I quickly bought for a friend who also said she could not find it anywhere) but it was in a side display and Adam had no name tab.
Had the same problem at Walmart last week. No FYE and I finally found a clerk and asked about the CD and she said Adam who? There were Kris Allen's, Allison's, Susan Boyles and Daughtry. What about what the customer wants?
I am so glad to see that Adam is selling so well in spite of everything.
keep it going fans, make it platinum! australia is still waiting for the launch of adam's debut album, hope he will come and meet his fans. his popularity is increasing, his hair style and nail polished is being copied as well.
