Adam Lambert has released three singles off his debut album in the US – For Your Entertainment, Whataya Want From Me and If I Had You. These singles have also been released throughout Europe and Asia. But now, other songs off Adam’s debut album are starting to be released around the world. The song Aftermath, co-written by Lambert, is currently #1 on Finland radio station, Energy NRJ. Another song now heard on the radio is Sleepwalker, which was released as a single in Canada last week.
Lambert’s single “Fever” has been heard on New Zealand radio stations, The Edge (94.2 FM Auckland) and ZM 91.0. Fever was written by Lady Gaga, but given to Lambert to use on his debut album. Fever is quite a hit in New Zealand, currently standing at #5 on the ZM 20 Countdown and #35 on The Edge “Fat 40” Countdown Chart.
There is no word yet as to whether there will be any more singles released in the US from the debut album. Fans have been tweeting RCA, begging for more singles, but only time will tell. In the meantime, Adam has said that an acoustic EP will be released in the next couple of months. He also has stated that he will begin working on a new album at the beginning of the year, to be released in Spring or Summer.
What do you think? Should there be more singles released in the US, or should we wait for the new album to come out? Which additional song do you think should be released as a single in the US?

I think SleepWalker would be the next single. It has a more upbeat sound for radio. Fever would be controversial of course because America is so uptight. Aftermath might be too sleepy, although its beautiful.
Although I love sleepwalker, and think Fever should be released but won't, I think music again should be the next single, I think it is radio/pop/ friendly and will appeal to the masses.
his acoustic of rendition of Aftermath was beautiful during his glam nation concert, so i'm definitely looking forward to that.
SLEEPWALKER
Sleepwalker is probably the more obvious and commercial choice... but I don't know, I'd really love to see Voodoo released, it has a great hook, slight reminiscent of the 80s, and doesn't sound like everything else on the radio. I think it could do well. Music Again has such a catchy beat it could even be a sleeper hit as well.
Very good point. Voodoo does not sound like anything on pop radio now. Again, too bad no video.
Listen to pop every day. Have found now that all of Katy Perry's songs sound the same as do Kesha's.
Voodoo would be my top favorite choice. The mystical, sensual, seductive vibe of that song is like nothing else on the radio. However, here in the US it was only released as a track on the remixes. It is on the European album though, just like Can't Let You Go which is another one of my top favorite choices.
Sleepwalker is now being played at CHUM radio in Toronto and 95.3 virgin radio in Vancouver and at a station in Montreal. Been trying to get it on 98.5 virgin radio and kool 101.5. No success yet. Need some help Lambert fans! Too bad there is no video with this new release because I'm positive it would top the charts at MuchMusic.
I will do my best to help out. I am in Belleville Ontario and am requesting sleepwalker on my station. 97.1 fm.. I still havent heard it yet, but im not always where there is a radio playing.
I live in the US but have been voting for SLEEPWALKER mini poll at:
1053 KISS FM in Ottawa at:

Can't let you go!
Yes!! I still wish I could get a copy of that song besides youtube!!!! gorgeous song!
Can't Let You Go is available on ADAM's FYE UK Edition as well as his Tour Edition plus a DVD of some of his iheart Stripped vids 'n his AoL Sessions vids. Got mine at CDWOW.com .. Great Buy!!
I'd be happy to hear any of the songs mentioned above. I really would like to hear Pick U Up!
Pick U up or Can't let you go !
I keep tweeting RCA & Sony to give us Sleepwalker as the next single, but they don't seem to be listening unfortunately!!! Yes, I really feel that a new release would be a great thing!!!
I think an accoustic aftermath will make more impact on the charts... looking forward to his accoustic EP on Thanksgiving.
Acoustic SLEEPWALKER would be a great single or even acoustic BROKEN OPEN .. AFTERMATH .. A LOADED SMILE ... they're ALL GREAT!!
SLEEPWALKER PLEASE??????
Can't Let You Go! US needs this song!
I definitely think the US needs more singles.I told my mom I wanted to move to New Zealand just so I could hear Fever on the radio.hahaha.Anyway I would love for either Down The Rabbit Hole,Voodoo,or Music Again to be the next single if we were to get one.but any of his songs would do.I love them all.
May be with the acoustic EP coming out, they`ll release the the acoustic of Aftermath. NOW THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! I think it would go up the charts just like Whataya Want From Me.
He should release at least one more single. Half those artists have 4 or 5 singles, why not 4 for him. I won't hold my breath, but I'd like Sleepwalker or Aftermath.
Aftermath gets my vote.
Strangely I have changed my vote to Aftermath. Perfect for today's climate.
Actually Fever is currently #1 on the Edge weekly top "Fat" 40!! (Sat NZ time) They don't update their website straight away and it was actually incorrect last week (was #4 but website showed #35 - #FAIL!!)
Fever has been #1 on Edge nightly top20 countdowns (with 2 or 3 exceptions when it was #2 or3) for over THREE weeks now!!
Without a video to push the single, it is doing fantastically. Just wish there was an EPIC video to support it. NEVER get sick of hearing it on NZ radio!!! (nb: I have not heard one single mention of the "he" pronoun....it is a total non-issue!!!)
AFTERMATH -the acoustic version is gonna be a massiv hit all over the world. Adam wrote it from the heart and his voice is incredible on that one. very moving song with great msg. GO AFTERMATH!!!!
I'm gunning for Surefire Winners. It has a great rock vibe reminiscent of We Will Rock You. Definitely an anthem and has the markings of a potential hit. I know it's not mainstream pop, but I just love it, and so will other rock buffs. It's my ringtone and I intentionally delay picking up my phone just to hear it!
RCA is just plain stupid for not releasing another single in the US!! it makes me angry! this is total mismanagement! they are killing his album sales by doing this! when someone has a hot single they sell more albums. RCA you take the retard keg on this!
I do find it odd that the mod on the AO site said they couldn't release another single bec Adam was too busy to personally promote it. Why is it that Adam needs to personally promote each single, when it seems that other artists release new singles every 8 weeks or so -- they're not traversing the country continuously promoting each single in person at local radio stations. Is it because Adam doesn't fit into radio's stupid niches? Or something else? Like say, that RCA's promotion sucks? The only promotion thus far of Adam's acoustic EP has been his mentioning it in an OVERSEAS interview and his tweet. That's it. That is NOT promotion. Why not create a two-pronged promotion but pushing an acoustic single like Broken Open or Aftermath that could help drive the EP sales? (And not CLYG -- that's too "screechy" and emotional for the US market.)
I agree that Adam's songs in other parts of the world are doing great without him being there and no videos to promote them. Two things I want to point out. As I read theses comments here, the preferred song choices by the fans are all over the map. No unity on one song. If it's to be a hit song, it should be pretty unanimous. Especially by the fans. Second, if RCA is worry about the sales of the new single, then they should release Can't Let You Go as a single and put the radio version on iTuneUS. His fans here in US will put a huge impact on sale of that song. Many of his US fans do not own this song. Just my thoughts...
I completely agree. The US fans are *begging* for RCA to release Sleepwalker. Ke$ha isn't going around promoting each of her songs, or Jason Derulo, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, B.o.B., etc., and yet the singles keep coming and coming... and the EP's release doesn't count, b/c it will probably receive downloads from iTunes and Amazon, but the singles won't get added or played (with the possible exceptions of WWFM and IIHY, if it's included, b/c they are already singles). I do not understand...I don't think Aftermath would work as is (too overproduced, much better acoustic), but Aftermath would be a terrific single. It's unfortunate that we'll probably have to wait for another 6-8 months for RCA to release another single (off the new album). Oh, and Adam *will* be here for the Jingle Balls (Y100 confirmed, Q102 likely), so he could promote the new single.
It's so frustrating....
I was hoping that Voodoo would be released in time for Halloween, or at least in time for Mardi Gras. I love Fever & Sure Fire Winners & Sleepwalker too.
Fever is also No.1 on the radio charts in Singapore! =) I'd love Sleepwalker as the next single though, as Adam's live performance will blow everyone away!
Is he going to make videos for those? Someone say yes!!
"fever" would be my choice but we know it's not gonna happen beacuse rca is paranoid about pronouns. 'sure fire winners" would be lots of fun. but then again, anything from the album would be great. there's not one crummy song on this cd.
Sure Fire Winners!!!! Whenever I want to fire myself up, I pop it in my car CD player, fast forward, crank it up and bounce down the highway. Never fails.
SLEEPWALKER!! Canadian fans: keep requesting Sleepwaker to the radio stations! If it does well in Canada it might com here in the U.S!!! :)
I'm checking my 2 local pop stations' playlists every day. Have been requesting it daily. If I email them 10 times a day they will get sick of hearing from me I'm sure. As I said above, it's unfortunate that Adam does not have time to make any videos now because it would be on our video channel MuchMusic and you can vote there 100 times a day.
The only reason Adams album and singles haven't done as well here is b/c america is still so damn homophobic which is sad FYI single could easily of been a top 10 hit Wataya want from me would have been a #1 hit and if i had u could have been a top 10 hit thats y adam probably won't release another single here i hope he does and RCA has been supporting him its funny adam has homophobia hurting his sales and he is still doing way better than kris allen
CANT LET YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!! NEEDS TO BE HEARD--IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS ON THE ALBUM!!!!!!!!!
SLEEPWALKER !!!
SleepWalker!!!
What about "Master Plan" from the Tour version of the album? Great song. Fever and Voodoo are fantastic songs too that I'd love to hear on the radio. Of course, no bad songs on the album! Can't wait to hear what he comes up with for the next CD!
They should throw in two singles: Sleepwalker and Voodoo. Make videos for both. They should keep him in public eye until his second album. Voodoo track has great hooks and grabs your attention. Especially where the hooks goes to "swamp sings...". He wrote it and he out sings all other tracks on this one. Same thing with Can't Let You Go. I love Sleepwalker. It's sounds current in the radio. Nothing different about it. Sounds a lot like Halo. But if they release it he gotta make provisions with Tedder that he can't record it as his for five years. Something he should've done with WWFM. WWFM wasn't my favorite track at all when I bought his CD last year. Pink is so lucky that Adam made it a huge hit. She should be courteous to give lots of credit to Adam. But that's something you learn in your childhood and by reading her biography she had the most trashiest childhood.
this website is very good, you can go and see it===sh0es4world.Com===shoes
Taylor Swift has three singles out simultaneously from her Speak Now album. Why is RCA so backward when it comes to Adam's amazing songs? Sleepwalker sounds great when I play it on Monster radio from NYC. It should be playing all over the world as well as the U.S.A. Why is Kesha's We R Who We R playing all over the world at the same time and Adam's songs get released in one country at a time? He has more than proven himself by now as an international artist and should certainly deserve the same consideration as some lesser talents are getting! I haven't heard about Kesha headlining an international tour like Adam has been doing.
Every song on Adam's debut album, FYE is fantastic! It's hard to choose which would be the best next single (and of course there should be another single released in the US!!!) but probably my choice would be SLEEPWALKER LIVE FROM GNT so much more emotion in his voice, AFTERMATH
CAN'T LET YOU GO It's breathtaking, shows Adams fantastic range and full of emotion!!!
I can't figure out why RCA won't release Sleepwalker in the states...look how well WWFM did! RCA and Jive do NOT help the Idols (Cook, Adam, Kris).
