Why does Billboard have the wrong photo of Adam for Ghost Town on its chart??? Can't someone tell them to use the PROPER PHOTO. I would do it myself, but I haven't a clue how to go about it, because I'm too computer illiterate.

But this oversight on Billboard's part is inexcusable!! It could also cost Adam a lot of sales, too! People will be looking for the wrong cover.

@Nanbert: You may have missed my Billboard post from last week and my comments within... I've already contacted the Charts Editors at Billboard about this -- although they have done nothing. They also made a mistake with TOH album -- the week it debuted they put in a "falling sales" down arrow rather than a "NEW" icon. I actually had to go through a music journalist friend of mine to contact his contact at Billboard to get them to change it -- and they did. Actually it wasn't just Adam, but also Nate Reuss' new album and I think Hilary Duff's new album -- they also had those down arrows, but were new releases. Someone at Billboard is REALLY sloppy -- not sure if it's the charts department or the graphic artist (I seemed to get the hint that it was the graphic artist, but not entirely sure, although I would think they'd take 100% direction from the Charts dept).

My huge astonishment, though: Warner Bros. The people in their A&R should be REALLY on top of that and should have had that corrected immediately -- both the down arrow and the FYE photo being used for TOH. I mean, the FYE photo is actually owned by a competing record company (RCA) and why they'd want that to remain up there is beyond me. I just think they aren't paying attention.

I may send a note to them, as well, but it's just hard to reach the right person sometimes.

Thanks for bringing this up -- great points!
