Ik ben benieuwd. Ik vind Kris zijn eerste single trouwens heel erg tegenvallen.
Adam's album kan inmiddels op Amazon gereserveerd worden en hij gaat als een speer!

Debut album beating Madonna in sales, weeks before release

'AMERICAN Idol" runner- up Adam Lambert is bigger than Madonna and even The Beatles.
Within hours of making his yet-to-be-released album available for pre-order on Amazon.com, a frenzy of ordering drove Lambert's ranking all the way to No. 2 on the online retailer's bestsellers list.
That put Lambert ahead of Madonna, The Beatles and world-wide sensation Susan Boyle.
Lambert's album won't be released until Nov. 24. The only CD that out-ranked him yesterday was Barbra Streisand's first new record in four years.
The sky-rocket sales seem to indicate two things: that "Idol" packs an unprecedented punch in the music business and that Lambert, like Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry in past seasons, may quickly overshadow the singer who beat him in the final vote, Kris Allen.
Remarkably, Lambert's record company, RCA, did not announce that it was taking pre-release orders. The sales were all propelled by word of mouth.
Lambert and his fellow Top 10 "Idols," including Allen and 4th-place finisher Allison Iraheta wrapped up their "American Idols Live" tour a few weeks ago.
Fans, left without their daily fix, have been scouring the Internet for news of their "Idol" favorites.
It was during one of these searches, early Sunday morning, when a Lambert fan discovered that Adam's album was available.
Within hours, word of the album's availability on Amazon spread across the Internet. The online social networking site, Twitter, lit up with the news. Fans traveled from "Idol" blogs to Lambert fanboards to spread the word to other fans. Soon, the album, which has yet to be named, began climbing up the Amazon Bestsellers List.
By late Sunday afternoon, it hit No. 4. Later that evening, it peaked at No. 2.
Lambert has been working on his album with a slew of industry a-listers including Lady Gaga's producer RedOne, One Republic's Ryan Tedder and "Since U Been Gone" hit maker Max Martin.
The album has also made its way onto several critics' "most anticipated" lists.

Pre-sale surge for Adam Lambert's debut CD
By Stephen M. Silverman
(People.com) -- Season eight "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert is no also-ran.
Adam Lambert lost the last season of "American Idol" to friend (and crush) Kris Allen.
His first album, not due for release until November 24, zoomed to the No. 2 spot on the Amazon.com sales list Monday, behind only Barbra Streisand's much-publicized new jazz album, the New York Post reported.
The distinction ranked Lambert, 27, ahead of Madonna, the Beatles and Susan Boyle on the online retailer's sales list -- and shows that one needn't nab the top title on Idol to win the sales race, as also evidenced by such chart-topping second-place winners as Jennifer Hudson, Clay Aiken and Chris Daughtry.
Lambert's sales figures are all the more impressive because his label, RCA, made no announcement that the disc could be pre-ordered, so the reaction was basely solely on word of mouth, noted the New York Post.
Collaborating with Lambert on the album are Lady Gaga's producer RedOne, One Republic's Ryan Tedder and Grammy-nominated music producer and songwriter Max Martin.
In a much-quoted Rolling Stone interview, Lambert admitted of eventual "Idol" winner (and Lambert's roommate during the competition) Kris Allen, "He's the one guy that I found attractive in the whole group on the show ... totally my type -- except that he has a wife."
This prompted Allen to tell PEOPLE, "I'm flattered. And think it's hilarious."
