I'm sorry this doesn't make any sense. Why would we wait for a week to show any interest in the song. I think the sooner interest is shown, the better. And does anyone actually think Adam is going to say 'ok shazam the song'?madamimadam:9687 wrote:mmadamimadamm 2m2 minutes ago

Well, Shosh has repeatedly implied so. And the reasoning makes perfect sense to me. Did you read the blog?bebeg:9732 wrote:I'm sorry this doesn't make any sense.

Is there anyone here who can explain this better? RUSTYCAT are you around and can help?
Why do we need to wait six days to Shazam? The song could potentially tank by then without interest shown to it. Six days is a long time in radio business. I know we are a fandom and want to do right by Adam, but what about the general public Shazaming? Will that hurt him? imo, I don't think it will.
This statement from requestadam is very strange to me. But what do I know. :thinks: Any clarity would be appreciated. :flowers:
That's what I think -- if there's no interest shown when they initially play it, why would they continue to play it?Carmi:9737 wrote:madamimadam:9687 wrote:mmadamimadamm 2m2 minutes ago

I know Shoshanna said they will tell the fans when to shazam/request it. But did she ever imply it would be later than when it starts playing on radio. I always assumed she meant don't request the song that's not yet been released.

That is how I interpreted Shoshanna too. :thinks:
I hate to keep overstating Derulo...but, the general public Shazamed the hell out of his recent single from the get go and no harm seemed to have come from it. It only made his exposure greater for the song being liked.
I know the general public will act accordingly. And we can't stop them. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Food for thought. Don't buy the album on iTunes at all. If you do, you can never purchase just singles, because your album will be complete
I Understand this argument but its a terrible idea. I high iTunes chart position is great promo for the album. If fans don't but the album it won't get a high chart position.

That's because derulo had a drop date shazam promo and iheart stations and derulo asked fans to shazam. Here just wait til Adam says to shazam.

Deruko had a drop date shazam promo. He told his fans to shazam. Shazam said to shazam and iheart stations said to shazam. Wait until adam or shosh or shazam say to shazam

OOOF! Thanks Rusty! I was getting worried that I had gotten 'roped in' to something I shouldn't have.rustycat:9748 wrote: Deruko had a drop date shazam promo. He told his fans to shazam. Shazam said to shazam and iheart stations said to shazam. Wait until adam or shosh or shazam say to shazam
I'll have clarification from Shosh tomorrow though.
What you're saying and what is posted at that link is basically the same thing... so I feel somewhat better!
:hug:
"It is what it is!"
Remember that the only adds date we know of is 4/28. A week after release. It may be they want the fanbase to give shazam a big jolt a week after it's out at same time as radio adds to show radio interest in song. Also lots of artists have shazam promos n stuff now. We know he met w a shazam guy in London. Maybe there is a promo w shazam for week 2. Derulo had a promo with them. Maybe Adam does too
I have to giggle every time I read the word Shazam.....didn't there used to be a tv show by that name, a long, long, long, long time ago?
I vaguely remember some guy turning into a superhero yelling Shazam.
Back on topic....when did all this album and music stuff become so complicated?? :seestars: :seestars:
Whatever happened to just buying the album lol?
The music business is not for the faint of heart.....kudos for Adam for hanging in there. Hopefully WB has his back this time around.

I can't guarantee, that you can still buy the album and still purchase the singles, but I have done it before to help Adam's sales. I just got a message saying my album was complete and that I already had purchased the song, did I still want to purchase another. Just clicked yes, and I was able to purchase a second single. I can't remember the exact wording, but that is close enough. I just took it as a reminder, in case I was making a mistake on my part. :Smile:rustycat:9746 wrote:nica575:8966 wrote:

I will still buy the album from Itunes, as well as the singles as they are released from the album unless things have changed and Itunes will not allow you to do that, but I cannot see that happening as it is sales to them. :Smile:
IKR....It's gotten to be a nightmare. :laugh: I have no doubt WB will have Adam's back. :Smile: They seem to be doing a pretty good job as it is. :Smile:svca:9756 wrote:I have to giggle every time I read the word Shazam.....didn't there used to be a tv show by that name, a long, long, long, long time ago?

Oh I agree with you wholeheartedly. Anyone who makes it in the music industry is a hero/warrior to me. It's so cutthroat. An artists talent and voice seem to be an incidental. It's not easy.
I am glad that Adam has said he is "in it to win it." And he will "fight for it". But a toll is for sure taken on him and all others too. We just listen to the music and sing along and jam out. But high dues are paid by the artists. It gives one a better appreciation for the tunes and hard work. At least it does for me. :wub:

Yes, it sure isn't like it used to be where vocals used to count. :sad: Now with autotune, you don't need to have good vocals, just have the looks, dress, and even be a little bit weird. :laugh:
The music industry is so cuthroat, I think today, is because there are so many out there trying to make it thru the door and have staying power and with the advent of You Tube, those who are looking for new talent, don't even have to travel the bars etc. looking for new talent. Plus they don't seem to care, that they may only be 1 hit wonders. Values, have sorely changed IMO. :Smile:
