Week of October 3, 2015
ADAM LAMBERT "Ghost Town"
Hot 100: #67 (LW: #64)
Pop: #20 (LW: #22)
Hot AC: #17 (LW: #20)
(LW="last week")
ADMIN NOTE: For the entire summer of "Ghost Town"'s placement on the Billboard charts, the publication, for some odd reason, was using an image of Adam from the "For Your Entertainment" album artwork, an RCA-owned graphic, the below example from last week's Hot 100 chart:
Somehow, Warner Bros. never caught the mistake.
I wrote to Billboard twice about the error but they never corrected it. Upon some good-natured prodding by AL 24/7 reader @Nanbert (thank you!), I decided to take a different approach and last week tweeted Warner Bros. about it. Well, it seems to have worked: the image finally has been changed! Here is one example, from the Pop chart:
REMINDER: Hot 100 measures radio airplay + sales + streaming, whereas the Pop & Hot AC charts strictly reflect radio airplay.

Thank you, broddy. Your perseverance paid off. The two photos project an entirely different "Adam" to the public. Nice to have the current one be the one they see. Can't get over the lasting power of GT.
Looks like Saturday, September 26, will be "Ghost Town Day," when we all give upmost in every way possible to push GT to even higher heights. Hope everyone does their part. I know I'll be Spotifying, etc. ALN needs to be ushered in as the next single with all the help it can get!
Hurray for our side! You did it! Congratulations!
You know, a lot of locations are still showing "old" (outdated, different era) photos of Adam with their articles -- but certainly Billboard was one of the worst, because of it's prominence in the music field.
KUDOS!
Well done people, that old photo was bugging me. Cheers to you!!!
Thanks Dee, Nanbert and Jaycee! And again extra thx to Nanbert for the inspiration.
Dee, you lost me, "Ghost Town Day"... ? I must have missed the memo. Where was that announced and/or who set that up and what are we supposed to do? Thanks!
Broddy, I read about "Ghost Town Day" on Adam Official and on Adamtopia. It's a fandom created day to simply give Ghost Town a real BLITZ of heavy hitting streaming, Spotifying, viewing, etc. It's supposed to be a concerted effort to give GT a good boost before ALN is released. The logic is that if GT stays strong right up to the debut of ALN, the new single will debut with some power behind it.
Here's the link from AO about Ghost Town Day.

I you do some tweeting to spread the word, be sure to hashtag GhostTown. Maybe we can spread this link around. It's on AO in the Discussion thread under "Ghost Town Day."
Perfect..!!! This is awesome -- thanks, Dee! I will talk with the other Admins about putting up a post for this by tomorrow.
The link didn't work Dee

Maybe admins should make a blog about Ghost Town day and delete it the next day: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sngi2s
Spotify/view on loop on as many browsers possible. Here you can Play GT on loop all day: http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=Ix8ocFEMa1o
I'm still streaming GT 24/7 on Spotify. I'm surprised enough people stopped that it needs to be encouraged again :(
