Adam Lambert fans still have something to be excited about on VH1 -- even though the "American Idol" runner-up song "Whataya Want From Me" has been out for over half a year, the singer is still finding a way to stick around in the top ten on the network's top 20 Countdown. (Most recently, he was ranked #6.)
So how does he do it? At the end of the day, VH1 comes solely down to fan voting, and Adam's fans have shown that they are ready and willing to support their singer in whatever way possible. In this case, that means requesting his song online as much as possible -- even after some of the initial hype has died down.
The best news for Adam with this is that it looks like he will remain in the top ten long enough so that his new song "If I Had You" can take over in a few weeks. With the video already shot, it will only be a matter of time now before the editors and directors have it all polished up and ready to go.

He's at #3 this week. He'll get to #1 on IIHY.
Adam's voice is amazing and I think the radio stations and VH1 and MTV need to play him far more often. His new video, "If I had you," should shoot to the top of the charts. It's a great song, fun to sing and dance to. His voice is incomparable. Forget Freddie Mercury, who was great, but Adam's voice exceeds the old legends. His voice is golden and instead of comparing him to Lady GaGa, his voice is in the Streisand category, a gifted musical instrument.
this article is for the week befor, now Adam is #3 and he will remain a litle on top , that's our goal , we fans we are no nuts and we don't lose the time
IIHY will be for sure #1
Adam is a amazing talented guy and I do believe Adam has what it takes to be #1.
this article is for the last week , now Adam is #3 and he will remain a litle on top , that's our goal , we fans we are no nuts and we don't lose the time
IIHY will be for sure #1
So happy this morning,glad he's #3 I voted 12 hrs. total :)
Yes, I beleive that Adam will go to #1 in his new video and I see no reason for his WWFM should stay in the top 20, also...#3 this week is great....I love VH1, but some of the songs I don't care for and Adam always makes it worth watching....If I had you is a great song.....
NUMBER #3 this week he will get to # 1 with IIHY most talented singer I have seen in a long time.
Yes I believe IIHY will be #1! This music video is going to be so cool.
You sound so silly sometimes! His WWFM video is still on coutdown because people love it! Adam's portraying of the song and his emotions in it are amazing! And you can bet that his If I Had You video will be the same! I cant wait to see his vision! One of the crew tweeted that they love working for Adam because 1, hes super nice, 2, he is so talented and has remarkable artistic vision,3, he can sing like no other,truly remarkable!
His video was #3 this week! Thank the lawd it is because I really enjoy watching it, its real good! Not many of them on there are, pretty sure they all get on there by fans voting, not? By the talk his new video is going to be something else! Cant wait to see what this chap comes up with next! Hes a great artist!
YOU CAN BANK ON IT!!ADAM LAMBERT IS THE NEW KING OF VH1...CANNOT WAIT!!
Adam will be #1 with IIHY. It's a great song and the video sounds fantastic! His vocals are beyond compare and he's soooo beautiful. Love watching everything he does.
Were just that passionate when we KNOW who's a great singer. I'd be cool if both videos would be on the countdown at once. They just need to release the IIHY video this week for it to happen. Let's make history happen for someone like Adam, people! He deserves it since the radio barely plays his songs.
NUMBER 3 this week!!!
Adam's fans WILL NEVER stop supporting him, You can count on that. Therefore WWFM ands IIHY has room on the countdown , AND yes< iihy WILL REACH THE top.
no DOUBT ABOUT IT.
I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEO.
'If I Had You" is such a fantastic song, it certainly can't help but become #1. If Adam makes releases others (Soaked,Pick U Up,Fever) they will also be a number one.
Absolutely! But, I can't help but say, as good as IIHY will do, I hope his next single after this is Fever & I totally believe it'll be #1!!! By this time, Adam will be so big, hopefully, they'll do Strut, then keep on going...!!!!
I believe that Adam If i had you will be # 1. Everybody should dance.
Geez, I hate to be a Debbie-Downer... but I don't think there are any guarantees whatsoever that "IIHY" will be offered up by VH1 as a choice/option for voting right away! Fans (of which I am one) are at the mercy of VH1 presenting the choices of videos we can select from to vote on to begin with (there used to be some "write in" sort of thing, but I don't think it's in affect anymore???) and I don't think it's a safe bet by any means that VH1 will add "IIHY" mv as a choice right away. Maybe I'm wrong??? but food for thought.
Adam may indeed rule VH1 in the near future. He is born for video. His voice is great and he is great to look at. He could sing the phone book, I wouldn't care. I just want to look at him and listen to him.
So, keep churning out those videos Adam Lambert and I'll keep voting for you.
Adam Lambert is a Rock God. The lyrics themselves are very mediocre-if that(hope he gets some real classics in the future-think Stairway to Heaven). But Adam blows each and every one of these songs to a place no other artist could ever reach. One thing for sure, anybody who tries to do a cover on an Adam Lambert song is simply stupid. Adam Lamberts' music is untouchable.
From the pictures I've seen of IIHY it cant be anything but a huge hit. The song itself isnt my favourite, but the great thing about videos is the visual, and just watching him is half the thrill!
I personally loved FYE, but it looks like its to be locked away somewhere faw away.
Yay to Adam for making a video that will be interesting and different. Wouldn't expect anything else from him.
I have been waiting for this video!!!! of course it will be amazing just like him!!!!! ADAM COME TO CHICAGO FOR YOUR CONCERT!!!!!!!!
"IF I Had You" will be number one for sure. Adam has a beautiful voice and is an amazing performer. His devoted fans will always support him. Can't wait for the new video!
I don't think WWFM is through being at #1 just yet. Once IIHY comes out on VH1 it will also be #1. Adam Lambert is amazing and I am so excited to see what this new video will be look like. Everything I have heard, it sounds epic.
You can count me in as one of ADAM's MOST DEVOTED FANS/VOTERS. I spend a good deal of time at the computer ... can't do much else ... and VOTING FOR ADAM is one of my FAVORITE things to DO!! So bring on the videos VH1 ... I'm READY!!
YOU BET ADAM'S NEW VIDEO WILL BE #1 ! I'LL SURE BE VOTING FOR HIM. WITH ONE OF THE BEST VOICES ON THE PLANET, SEXY PRESENTATION, AND GORGEOUS GOOD LOOKS--------THERE IS NO ONE NEAR AS GOOD. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIS NEW VIDEO !
I hear its got fire and fire spinners, a dark, beautiful forest, lots of Adam's friends dressed as wood nymphs, spikes and platforms - oh, yeah - and that hot Adam - it's #1 in my book and I haven't even seen it yet. and grabbing lyrics - "All we need in this world is some love!"
WWFM was #3 not #6 last week. I am just hoping they keep WWFM on the full 20 weeks so it will make the 20/20 Club. This song/video is so great and we are going to get it back to #1 and give it its rightful sendoff. I love the song IIHY and cannot wait for the video. The video sounds amazing and I love that Adam had his close friends, who are all so talented in the Video. When it comes out his fans will definitely be there to support it and you can be sure it will be #1. Anything Adam does is so creative and he is the most exciting performer I have ever seen or heard. That voice, oh that voice. No one can compare!!!
Can't wait for Adam's new video it looks so cool! I'm sure it will be and hopefully push his album to platinum status.
I am a huge fan of Adam and will do everything in my power to make sure he stays in the public's eye with his beautiful music and his beautiful self. He makes life exciting!
Even though ADAM WWFM video came in at #7 this week VH1 saw fit to drop him from their countdown. WHAT IS GOING ON? ADAM has never been below #11 when he debuted ... has FIVE #1 rankings BUT VH1 still dropped him from the countdown! Someone PLEASE tell me WTH is GOING ON???
