unless he releases a new album or a lead single from a new album before the end of September he won't have anything eligible for next year's grammys...whatever the third single is (toh? or whatever) would technically be eligible but it is super extraordinarily rare for a single to get nominated after the year of album eligibility ...just doesn't happen...and when it does it generally only happens when the album was a huge blockbuster and the grammys want an excuse to nominate the artist again the next year (like when Adele or beyonce have been nominated for live versions of songs)...
It's stuff like this that has my frustration happening. Sometimes I question his team and what they are doing. ALN was sent to radio in October. If I, as a fan know that the Grammy eligibility date is Sept. 30, do they? You would think so right? So why not send ALN in the hopes of him getting two bites at the Grammy apple. Why did they put all their Grammy eggs in the Ghost Town only basket? How does that work for him? Surely a October release of ALN could have been bumped back to Sept. 30. We are only talking the difference of a few days. Could this also be the reason that ALN was put out there and then there was basically no promo for it? Did his team think, oh well, it won't be eligible for a Grammy, so f*ck it?
Adam says that he is happy with his team. I'm not convinced that they are doing their best for him. Just my opinion. Adam will do as Adam pleases. But if he decided to do a clean sweep of the lot of them when he settles down after touring in July, I would not be averse to it. An injection of fresh new blood in management and a non snippy publicist that doesn't talk to fans would suit me fine. Adam, has said that he doesn't like to get stuck in the past. I hope he will take that same sentiment as far as his team also, and get a whole new one for era 4.
