For those of you with PS3s check out Vidzone TV (free dl in PS store) as they've just posted up their interview with our Adam about 1 hour ago via web

Nikki,
Thanks for the info!

Unfortunately, I've been trying to catch this to eventually find out, it's not available in the US.

Do you have a link or anything other than it being on PS3, by chance?

PS3 stated that, internationally, you can watch his music videos there too!

Guys, I've seen people mention that the management/SonyUK aren't happy with Radio 1 for not adding WWFM. How do you guys know this and what do you know about Radio 1's scorn?

We have been getting messages on twitter from Sony reps in U.K . Radio1 are biased about new singers from other country's as they mainly play British or really big stars from other country's. Most regional radio stations have added WWFM to their playlists. but sadly not Radio1 or 2.

Then they should get some different reps . What a total joke. Adam's promo in the UK has been a farce from beginning to end.

Why all the doom and gloom about Adam not getting played on Radio 1 or 2? He's #71 in the charts before the official release of Whataya Want From Me so I'm not skerred.

It should also be noted that Adam Lambert has a LOT more fans in the UK that he's actually given credit for - they just don't bother with the likes of Twitter or websites etc and when the time comes for our leg of the tour we'll see them all out in full force.

Adams getting plenty of airplay on the regional stations - to me that's what's important - those stations are what people listen to nowadays not the out of date Radio 1 or 2 - the listeners of those regional stations are the ones that will get him higher in the charts by buying the single - of that I have no doubts.

No doom and gloom , just an irritation that he has not been added, when WWFM is a great song and deserves to be playlisted.

Regional airplay is great, but it would really boost things for him if wider audiences heard this song and that means stations like Heart and Radio 1 and 2. Radio 1 and 2 still have a vast listening audience, so they are certainly not outdated or to be discounted. I have heard that Sony UK expected him to be playlisted by Radio 1 with this song, I'm surprised it hasn't happened.

Adam does have a dedicated fanbase here, but it was also stated on Lambrits that he wouldn't tour here unless WWFM charted top 15 in it's first week of release. How true that is I don't know, but I for one don't want to miss the opportunity of Glamnation hitting the UK , so I certainly hope regional and commercial radioplay will be enough.

The main problem is, he can't be here to promote it, so airplay is everything. Not worth worrying about what you can't control though, the success of the song has spoken for itself throughout Europe already, so lets hope that consistently poor UK promo won't dampen his sales and opportunities here.

We'll get our Glam Nation tour even if Adam has to pay for it himself

NirvanaDC

get this week's OK! magazine for their interview with @adamlambert

at least this is not aimed at the teens

I hope you are joking, Glambvis!

It is very expensive to bring the GNT to the UK - air fares, hotel costs, food, sundries, etc for Adam, his band, 4 dancers, his PAs, and other staff. Plus the costs of hire of concert venues, the costs of the promoters, etc. Why should Adam pay for it himself when the not-so-great-promotion of his UK singles and album was not his fault and was beyond his control???

Adam on Capital 95.9FM - telephone interview from tour bus. He talks about Glam Nation coming to the UK!

Thanks for the interview LB . Just to let everybody know. There will be physical copies of WWFM available in the UK. If you go on AO, (you will need to be quick becuase it disappears), but click on the UK flag, it will take you to the UK server and there is a link there to buy the physical single from HMV. We need Adam to have a good chart position here. If everybody could help by buying a copy it would be great .
