Prob when Album comes out, when it comes to physical copies. But the focus right now is on the single. So all you need to do is purchase it via ITunes or Amazon. Then Stream it a few times on Spotify. The pre order option on AO maybe a special deal I don't know, where you can buy the single on AO. But GT is still being released in NZ and Aussie at Midnight Tuesday.

Nothing hasent changed re purchasing. Purchase on itunes or amazon. Stream on Spotify preferably. Don't get the confusion.

#25

Well i have never used streaming things before all new i grow up with real records and radio (shows age) still uses my iPod where my music is on but i know how to ripped music to that from YT etc .

So thats the confusion learning new ways still stuck in old ways.

I ask that on twitter last eve too.....answer.....all sales count $$$$$$$$$$

also will add....there being a number of how many streams = a bought download.....

I remembered this from IDF.....streaming is very important.....

however.....the downloads & purchases are as well

1,500 streams or 10 track downloads are each equivalent to the sale of one complete album.

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/ ... sarts&_r=0

so it seems.......one would need to listen to a track 1,500 streams to equal 1 album purchase

Absolutely! SHAZAM! may be a couple of times/day? Also, someone on ATOP added Youtube, if Adam posts there. So, now I have:

8) Shazam GT a few times/day
9) play GT on Adam's Vivo channel a few times/day

Here is some useful information on Shazam:

Lambert Music 411 ‏@LambertMusic411 2 Min.Vor 2 Minuten
Details on why SHAZAM is important & why we need to wait until "Ghost Town" is released & Adam's team gives go-ahead: http://requestadamlambert.com/shazam-the-song/ …

Shazam is a song identification/discovery tool that radio monitors to see interest in current songs. Radio looks at Shazam positions EVERY week (via the Shazam chart) and judges whether a CURRENT song is in demand; that means Shazam will be important for Adam’s NEW music!

So listen to your local/favorite radio station, and then once you hear Adam’s NEW song, Shazam it! A convenient way to listen to your favorite station is via the iHeartRadio app on your phone.

IMPORTANT NOTE: ONLY 1 Shazam per song, per account matters! Only 1 Shazam of a song is counted for the Shazam chart and anything beyond that is pointless AND radio won’t know about it.

Thank you! So, I need to update my plan Shazam - once you hear it on the radio - Shazam at least once.

I am not sure which thread this belongs to, so please let me know if I need to move this:

"However, in the new configuration, all pre-orders are wiped clean as the clock strikes midnight on the day of the release. Consequently, that title's chart position is determined by what new sales activity takes place on the first day of its release, not all the activity it had generated through pre-orders. This move cuts down chances of landing the No. 1 spot, as the new release will have to get there solely through new purchases on the day of release.

Major label executives say they understand why Apple made the move it did, but that it will take some getting used to. "This is a big move, because everyone in the industry pays attention to the iTunes storefront more than any other store or service," says one major label executive. "No one looks at the Amazon, Google or Spotify music pages the way they pay attention to iTunes."

My plan has crystalized to this:

on 4/21:

1) buy GT on iTunes
2) buy GT on Amazon
3) start streaming on Spotify
4) tweet with "#nowplaying #GhostTown @adamlambert" included as many times as feasable
5) click on all reviews/mentions
6) tweet/share from the article sites
7) retweet relevant tweets adding the text mentioned in 4) if needed...

what else?

Girl, you are so on point! Kudos to you for that list!

‘Ghost Town’ 3:28; Remember Spotify Tip to Make Sure You’re Really Streaming

http://requestadamlambert.com/2015/04/1 ... streaming/

"As a reminder for Spotify users, you need to make sure you are streaming the song (once it’s released) and not playing it from your library (via a downloaded version from iTunes, etc.).

TIP: Make sure in the Spotify settings that you don’t have local files enabled.

To stream or not? Most fans are going to listen to GT 3984+ times! After buying on iTunes, makes sense 2 stream for all those listens :)

*ATTN fans STILL Shazaming #GhostTown snippet - plz stop!* Only 1 Shazam per song counts for radio interest. Details http://requestadamlambert.com/shazam-the-song

Remember. Do Not shazam the clips. Wait to shazam when the song is released and it can be shazamed from the radio or video
