This is fantastic news. Please 24/7 keep this news up for the whole day! Others need to see it!

We should make him platinum in the US too. That would definitely make Adam so happy. He's only like 200,000 copies from it anyway! It's so easy. Everyone go purchase the album again lol. (For the holidays coming soon)

Anonymous said...

Does anyone know if that total includes the U.S. sales or just other countries? Good for Adam. Thanks, MagazineLover for the magazine site. I send away for the Frontiers mag. a month or so again since that is one of my favorite photos of Adam. I drool over it everyday!!! Signed, Adamluv

Would have sold more, but the album was not advertised and it was hardly available in Europe even it was released the same time as in the US.

Anonymous said...

This is for worldwide. It means all the countries in the world that has released the album locally. The sales from the US are included.

Anonymous said...

Does this mean the album is platinum?

Shirley said...

OMG CONGRATULATIONS TO ADAM!

Anonymous said...

Is it only this US version of the album and not the UK version included? I kinda like the secrecy with the sales though.

Anonymous said...

"Does this mean the album is platinum?"

Yup. It's officially certified PLATINUM.

Anonymous said...

Awesome! Adam is on the cutting edge of so much what's new in popular music around the world.

Anonymous said...

I think Adam is the only Pop male artist in the world who's sold over a million copies.

Justin Bieber is R&B right? (So he doesn't count)

Anonymous said...

doesn't 1 MM mean 1 million million vs. 1 million?

Anonymous said...

Adam is a good example. GaGa is a bad example. GaGa is bragging she will go bankrupt for the 5th time since every dollar she earns goes to the monster show. Of course I don't believe that, it must be the italo american accounting. I mean how does she get away with it..

Anonymous said...

OT about music but please go over to afterelton.com as today is the last day to vote for Adam in the Hot Gay Male contest. Last year he was #5. Only women can vote! Signed, Adamluv

GagaFan said...

Anon 12:42.

I disagree. Lady Gaga is a GOOD EXAMPLE too. She's inspired so many gay men around the world. Even Adam is inspired by Gaga. She is the queen of pop.

Of course, Adam should be the King of Pop. And congrats for reaching 1 million, Adam!

MiMi said...

I am so happy for Adam, and I will probably buy another album to help get him to Platinum in the US alone. We can do it fans. I gave Adam's album to friends last Chritmas and everybody loved the album. My way of spreading the Adam phenomenon.
Keep requesting IF I HAD YOU on the radio.
I'll also vote on afterelton.com.

You rock Adam and you are the best!!

We should try to get someone to ask GaGa what she thinks about Adam. I would love to hear. And don't get me wrong. I like Gaga, because she is a risk taker.

All of your hard work is paying off big time. Congratulations on hitting one million worldwide! You deserve this success and all of us are so proud of you. We love you!

hey devoted Adam Fans!!!! we need your help!!
Adam is up against a band called Hanson..their fans say they will never let Adam and his fans win this one....they are 1,000 votes ahead of Adam,please help bring Adam to the top, they have some nasty things to say about us the fans and Adam, lets prove them wrong

You have no idea what you are talking about.

There is no such thing as "worldwide platinum"

Platinum in the US is 1 million copies and right now FYE is Gold but will possibly end up going Platinum.

FYE is platinum in Canada which means it sold over 80,000 copies there.

FYE is also Platinum in New Zealand which means it sold over 15,000 copies there.

I don't mean to be rude or anything but you said that as if it were a fact when in all reality you have no idea what you are talking about.

Josh @ 2:12

You must try softening your tone friend :). This is the second time you have posted good info on 24/7, but have been so off-putting with your tone that I fear you'll lose people before they even read past your first line! (I defended you the last time if my memory serves me correctly :)). I realize that a lot is lost in translation with the interenet (inflections in voice, facial expression etc.) and I think it would be great for everyone to read your clearly informed comments without feeling bitch-slapped... just sayin', hope I'm not being a bother, good intentions and all that.

the Hanson band fans are laughing again, they have over 1,000 votes more then Adam,they said they will keep their band at #1 and they are doing just that,they said Adam does not have the devoted fans that they do!!

MGF - Who appointed you hall monitor? You must not have read all Josh wrote. He said "I don't mean to be rude or anything...." Isn't that enough for you or should he run things by you before posting? BTW all the off topic comments by you and G&S are getting annoying. Just saying :)

Vickie said...

Hi Robin,

Hubby and I are coming all the way from west Boise!!! First time for us at the Morrison Center but we did hear the acoustics were really good. We are sitting in Row A in the lower mezz. I will be the crazy one hanging over the edge. We have friends down on the floor too.

anon @ 12:42 GaGa is shock. Adam is substance.

GagaFan said...

So you're saying Adam isn't shock? I love Adam, but you have got to admit that he did the shock factor as well. (The AMA thing, the album cover etc)....

Ther'es nothing wrong with relying on shock to sell, BTW. A lot of people do that. All the big names like Madonna, Britney do it all the time.

Norah Jones can't sell anymore because she doesn't shock anyone....

Anonymous said...

GaGa Fan: The AMA thing was "in the moment" for Adam and shocked him that it shocked anyone. Liking Adam as you do, you found his album cover shocking? It was over the top camp.

Adam is a performer. GaGa is a performance artist who is always in character. Don't you think that Adam would be laughed off the stage if he came out to perform in the male equivalent of any of GaGa's costumes?

When I see pictures of Adam at a Major League Baseball game in his underwear and flipping off the crowd, I will be shocked. GaGa's done it twice now. Yankees and Mets games.

Do Buble or Connick shock? If not, how is it they're selling so well?

I find her talented with a good voice, however you and I should agree to disagree on the subject of GaGa vs Adam and shock. :))

MGF here -
Okay, I hear you, good point and point taken. I did exactly what I was talking to Josh about and didn't watch my tone, my apologies. I blog very stream-of-consciousness, dangerous sometimes, and was typing very fast at that moment because, honestly, real life was knocking at my door and I shouldn't have even been taking the time to comment, LOL, so I typed and hit Post Comment without Previewing... cuz when I read Josh's comment - I thought - uh oh... because I remembered how something he had posted before, very well informed tidbit though it was, was delivered, IMHO, a tad snappy and set off a bit of a sh_tstorm of comments/posts...and I was just so hoping not to see the wonderful news delivered in this particular thread get overshadowed by something similar... I should have stayed out of it (been told that before, lol). But really, to Josh (who I am assuming is not Anonymous July 14 3:36PM because Josh comes off as direct enough to have responded himself w/ his tag if he had a problem with my post) I really was sincerely trying to help ensure that you're informative post got read, because honestly, I was feelin' what you were saying :)!... but you get more bees with honey and all that, just my POV, (which I will take note of myself as well!) and I think we have to remember that, again my POV only, just like AL's fanbase itself, this blog has a very diverse participants and not everyone will be as informed as you are about such things and I'd hate to see them made to feel silly or foolish about that ('ya know, nobody likes to be embarrassed and all that sort of thing, anonymous blog though it may be). The content of your post was interesting, just wanted to see it get read/absorbed and not scrolled through, but not my business. To Anonymous July 14 3:36PM - I did indeed read what Josh said:
"I don't mean to be rude or anything but you said that as if it were a fact when in all reality you have no idea what you are talking about."
but to me, just my opinion, the second half of the sentence sort of NEGATED the first half... 'ya know. But you are right, nope, he doesn't have to run anything by me, Hall Monitor was a clever term :)...next time I'll just mind my own business (well, about this sort of thing :)) and let the chips fall where they may, like last time... because the thing is @Anonymous July 14 3:36PM - if you're on this site alot, you just may know that I comment a lot about sorta kinda hating that sort of thread policing myself, so sorry to have done it myself, point taken, just wanted to see Josh's valid post get absorbed without incident (oops, sorta got in the way of that happening now didn't I, lol). Like o.w. July 14 4:31PM said - not feeling sensitive, no hard feelings, opinions being expressed (btw o.w. - your "scalped" comment about the puffy haired fan - frickin' hilarious!).

And YAY again about the reason for this thread, so cool.

I am new to posting on this site but to MassGlamFan, Did you notice that the person calling you a hall monitor didnt even bother to use some kind of name or recognition symbol? I dont mind OT stuff and people should be able to write as much as they want. maybe those with problems are just used to texting and the few words needed there? I thought MGF's response to Josh was polite and right on and not rude either. Signed, Adamluv

ALERT ALERT - TO THOSE WHO DISLIKE OT POSTS OR VERBOSE ONES - SCROLL DOWN - SCROLL AWAY - MIGHT WANNA KEEP MOVIN'...:)

Adamluv made me remember one other little thing - regarding the "banter", sometimes OT, sometimes personal - I guess I can take Anon July 14 4:27's comments under advisement, okay. The discussion pendulum has swung back and forth on that issue in recent months here on 24/7... but, taking good old fashioned democracy into account, the majority seems to have fallen on the side of "no biggy, go right ahead, I'll use my scroll down function if need be..." but you guys can let me know if I'm missing the mark on that one and I'll comply for sure; and of course if the 24/7 Administrators/Moderators chime in and slap 24/7 participants on the wrist about such matters.

Happy posting everyone... and here's hoping AL gets that US-only CD sales platinum soon!

Adamluv and MGF: I am anon 3:36. I used the words "hall monitor" in response to MGF's jump on Josh. I try use my sitename whenever I post, but for some unknown reason (brain fart) I didn't this time. I am not in the habit of calling someone out and remaining anonymous. I haven't posted in a while, but long time 24/7ers may remember me.

btw your response @5:44 was quite wordy. Glad to know your realize your short suit. :)

Hi MassGlamFan - I was one of the posters who urged you to get a site name and I told you I was born in Massachusetts. Oscar Wilde is a good fan and funny sometimes, too. Don't take what's written on this site as seriously as you have today. It's mostly people who are just like you and me - Adam Lambert fans to the end.

Hey There Love and Light July 14 7:05PM -

People have been asking for you!!!! :) Belated thanks for the encouragement about the tag, having fun.

Didn't really take Anon July 14 3:36 per se too seriously - just respect and manners, that stuff still means something to me I guess, so wanted to make good with Josh.

Oh right, not Anon, Oscar Wilde... now see, I never really was a fan of Oscar Wilde, no need to Google, familiar with and not really a fan of the whole biting wit thing or clever just for clever's sake... but as for Oscar Wilde the 24/7 commenter, I'll take your word for it I guess - you seem to be quite well respected here! Better say thanks and goodbye lest my verbosity emerge, (writing/editing involved to some degree as part of my vocation, hate to concern myself so much with editing in my avocations, especially blogging :)...texting is my nemesis as you can probably imagine, LOL).

Thanks again L&L (& same to others who commented on my behalf) and yes, AL fans to the end.

To Gagafan @4.45
I'm very surprised you used the words shocking about Adams cd cover, what is remotely shocking about it? Does it depict guns, blood, violence, sex etc. nope, just a made up,OTT guy a la 70's glam rock. As to the AMA's, have watched it several times on youtube, didn't find it shocking in the least. In fact I find it more 'shocking' that people can be so too faced and biased about a guy doing something that female performers have been doing for years.

And congrats to Adam on the 1m mark. I just wish they counted legal downloads in with those numbers, it would be a lot higher I'm sure.

And to MGF I like reading your long posts...don't stop.

Love your good heart, MassGlamFan and while appreciating Josh's correction, thought the personal comment was a little harsh. You were just reminding us to keep it kind, and respecting each other and our differences is a good thing. I'm also deeply afflicted with verboseness of which I'm sure you are all aware. Must be because of all of the diversity on this site and the humanity. We all have a very common positive bond which is our Glamrock god. Peace y'all. Spread the Lambert Love! funbunn40

I've been "in shock" since March of 2009 and I hope I never recover, Adam love!! I am a girl so even though I think Lady Gaga songs are great, she does not do to me what Adam does to me, no matter how she does it. HA - did that make sense?? I love the video montages of Adam, set to her songs. THERE!! It's my way of loving them both but of course, NO ONE sings like Adam!!

@ 8:31am There is a video montage on youtube of Adam with Gaga's beautiful Speechless playing, I think by JaimeGlambert.Hauntingly beautiful. I'd like to see them do a straightforward ballad together showcasing their voices. funbunn40
