Adam Lambert goes worldwide with international chart numbers

Every week when you look at the international sales numbers for Adam Lambert, one thing constantly stands up -- the "American Idol" singer has just as much success in other countries as he does in the United States.

One of our clearest examples of this comes courtesy of our friends north of the border -- in Canada this week, "Whataya Want From Me" is situated at the #15 spot on Billboard's Canadian Hot 100. After peaking at #3 earlier this year, the song has stayed on the chart for 24 straight weeks. Only Jason Derulo's "In My Head" has been on the chart longer while holding a position higher than Adam's. "If I Had You" debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 last week at #90 (making it the first country where it has done so), but has yet to make any forward progress.

In terms of other countries, "WWFM" finds itself at #23 on the European Hot 100 in its third week of release across the pond (a slight step down from its peak at #21) -- the single has experienced its broadest success thus far in Germany, where "For Your Entertainment" has also sold very well.

All in all, there are no major surges to report on the international front this week -- "For Your Entertainment" is holding steady on album charts everywhere from Japan to here in the United States.

Are you hoping this success bodes well for an international Glam Nation Tour?

oh yeah! international Glam Nation Tour! I'm hoping this tour gets to Europe, maybe I can buy a few tickets and FINALLY watch him perform live.
And I'd also like to know "What can we do to get IIHY moving?"

The world adores Adam and of course everyone is waiting for him to return. If only the US would get the picture and embrace Adam without such critical remarks. The US think Adam only belongs to them but the not so! He is a wonder of the world and one day if they don't wise up they might even lose him to overseas. Adam needs love and acceptance and fans that support him always.

Adam has more fans in the US than detracters, as his sold out concerts show and he feels the love here.I think there is a big misconception that the US does not support Adam. This is a huge country and the prejudices of some very vocal conservatives and media advertisers doesn't speak for the many here that love and support him.Adam is a gift to the world and appreciates all of his fans , here and worlwide, but I don't think he will give up his country, family and friends that have meaning for him here. funbunn40

We DO LOVE ADAM here in the US. There is a small minority that TROLL the internet & support the articles against ADAM. BUT ... for each of those there are those from ADAM SUPPORTERS that REFUTE EVERYTHING NEGATIVE that is written about him with FACTUAL info ... not heresay garbage @ a 10-1 ratio in favor. ADAM's US fans are FIERCE in their SUPPORT of ADAM ... make NO mistake about that. WE LOVE HIM DEARLY!!

We know a lot of americans support him but the true is because of his sexual orentacion he is not bigger in US. After a year, all the sucess that he has in Europe or Asia could had been in America a long time ago.We doesn't understand why Miley Cirus, Jonas Bro.,J.Bieber or others have more media coverage, they are not ARTIST in all the sense of the word like Adam is.
The problem is that many countries like mine in South America take music references of US is if a Hit or a Top Song there media and radios here play the music, it is not fair, for that we truely wish he has all the sucess that he really deserves in US.

I think Miley is cute when she imitates Adam, can't hate it. It's funny she even performed at the G-A-Y club.

Adam's successful Glamnation tour will show the naysayers that he's a force to be reckoned with and his talent and good will outshines any media and personal misconceptions.Sometimes people are fearful and intimidated by anything new and innovative.I think "A Change is Gonna Come" and it's just about here.Watch the Glamnation videos so far and feel the love and support. They were fantastic to "little sis,"Allison too, which I'm sure made Adam proud and happy for her. She's perfect for the tour. He got it right! funbunn40

Folks wake up. Radio is more liberal than conservative on music stations. Those stations are owned and run by the liberal media. Don't continue to say conservatives are holding Adam back. Look to the liberals. That's who you want to go after for radio play.

If you're wondering why it's only 5 radio stations, it's because the other fm stations here in manila are not exactly chr stations (some just play alternative music, r&b or old songs). And these are actually 5 of the biggest stations in manila so adam has pretty much covered all the bases here :)
