In the thick of this season of "American Idol," some of the show's past contestants are reaping the benefits. Let's start with Adam Lambert. According to a new report by USA Today, sales of his debut album "For Your Entertainment" were up 22% this past week, giving him a grand total of 632,000 sold. What is the reason for the increase? Since his performance on "Idol" is several weeks old now, we really have to attribute it most to the debut of new song "If I Had You" -- if some people like what they heard on the radio, maybe they decided to go out and pick up the album.

I can only compare this album to music of Robbie Williams, because it really is that good. I have the US version that was also released in Finland. It was difficult to find it in the stores though and I really had to get nasty to get my copy.

I have heard some of Robbie William's music. I think he's pretty good. I like "Love Calling Earth".

Although I don't find any similarities to Robbie...

So close to 1 million, yet so far. I hope Adam achieves one million before the year ends.

I'm not sure the Examiner Article has this info correct. He sources info to USA Today website - and I could not find last weeks IDOL album sale on the site when I checked. This examiner guy gets wrong info quite a bit. But I really hope its true and Adam's sales were up 22% last week!!!

This is great news.

Also, I've posted on a few threads here on 24/7 about this - I don't know if any of you guys vote on Ryan Seacrest's American Top 5 - but I'm pretty sure it's not relegated to a "local" scenario, and that voting is open to all (don't know about out of US). "WWFM" has been an option for voting recentyly - check it out!

Any publicity is good - for example - even 'though Kris Allen's LLWD has been out a while - it was actually #1 last week on this (or maybe about a week and a half ago, but still, pretty good).

Haven't heard 'If I Had You' at all on radio yet, but WWFM had to go gold before stations in my area played it much and still hear it mostly late in the day, when certain DJ's have gone home. Suggest that fans purchase IIHY and download multiple times to boost ratings, IMO. Would sooo love to see the CD go platinum! Have purchased several as gifts.

Anon 10:07 AM Good for you to push for Adam's US version; however, we Finns don't get "nasty" we "power surge." :)

We do want Adam to go platinum!!!! I gave a copy to my server as a tip instead of money. Went back to the same rest. a month later and found out she LOVED the CD!! Guess who is going with me to see Adam in concert?!!
Using it for tips for your server, bartender etc. is a great way to spread the Adam love :-)

I'm so happy for Adam.

I think it's actually his international fans that are giving the US CD a big bump.

That speaks volumes for his worldwide appeal.

Glam Nation, sure. Glam Universe, fer sher!

I love Adam & my Glamily!

Thanks for the suggestions. I think these sales figures are a bit questionable. I also question Susan Boyle's sales numbers. I see different figures put out all the time. Still we need to do what we can to get Adam platinum ASAP
