Adam's first albums sold well, even his last album, in light of selling less copies in the USA than Mr. Bad Guy sold in the UK, a country 1/20 the size. But his singles failed. It was obviously poor thoughts on the record company. Maybe they were thinking, "Promote his fucking album before the worship dies down, never mind the singles!"
I just don't know. There was so much promotion on his albums, but little on his singles. They treated him as a novely act, mayve he is one. I do think he could do better, but its not Queen related.
Mister Cosmicc, I Hope you‘re okay? You keep on talking to yourself on an Internet forum and you sound a bit nuts...
if you want to learn more about AL‘s career or have questions about him, wouldn’t it be more sensible to go to a Lambert forum? The fans there can most probably help you much better with numbers or explanations about his career. Just from reading your posts, you don’t seem to talk a lot of rubbish. I mean, I‘m no expert, but I can see that much.
I will try to help you at least a bit, because your information about how the music industry works is a little bit outdated. Or to say it directly: What you describe here would have been true 20 years ago, not today.
You can’t compare the numbers of sold albums or singles from the 80s to today’s music business. People don’t buy music any longer. About 70-80 per cent the artists gets for his music come from streaming.
Here are some links, that should inform for you about today’s music industry:
