Adam Lambert on course to be first out gay artist to get US No 1 album
Quote :
Lambert - who finished in second place on American Idol in 2009 - could still be denied number one by current leader Carrie Underwood with Blown Away or Adele, both of whom are expected sell between 65,000 and 75,000.
The star's debut set For Your Entertainment landed at number three on the tally in its first week in 2009.
Other albums expected to enter high on the Billboard 200 are Glee's The Graduation Album and Garbage's Not Your Kind of People.
Lambert recently announced a third UK show with Queen at London's Hammersmith Apollo in July.

Dallas Voice : Adam Lambert: The gay interview
Quote :
Remember the fuss Adam Lambert caused when he tongued his keyboardist in front of the world? Of course you do. The controversial kiss drew both homophobic outbursts and so-what shrugs, and it’s an American Music Awards moment that won’t soon be forgotten. Especially by Lambert himself.
“That was an interesting night,” he says, snickering in his charmingly guy-next-door way about that seminal smooch. “That AMAs performance was trespassing, in a way.” And, on his latest album, he’s not done crossing the line: Trespassing is the defiant second to the American Idol spawn’s 2009 debut....... continue reading

After all, so many alums of the No. 1 Fox show fizzle as quickly as they skyrocketed to fame. But Lambert, now 30, has cultivated a loyal fanbase that he’s carried with him every step of the way since his 2010 debut, For Your Entertainment, and he’s counting on those so-called Glamberts to catapult him to the top of the Billboard album chart next week, when Trespassing, Lambert’s new album, is expected to debut in the No. 1 spot selling in the vicinity of 80,000 units ............ continue reading

Adam Lambert: the Beatweek cover story interview
Quote :
Adam Lambert is still a trespasser, figuratively speaking, even as his new album debuts at number one today on the charts. Nevermind that he’s in his third year of fame, he has the most loyal fan base of perhaps any modern pop star, and he’s the lead singer of Queen when he wants to be. The fact that his music doesn’t fit into any particular genre means he’s tasked with breaking new ground any time he makes music, and his new record runs the gamut.......continue reading
