Adam Lambert’s Music Video is No. 2 on First Day

Adam Lambert's video for his new single "Better Then I Know Myself" went on sale on iTunes late last night and within less than 24 hours secured the #2 spot for "Top Music Videos." Adam premiered the video on February 3 and since then fans had been anxiously waiting for it to be available to purchase. Now that it is for sale, people have bought it for themselves and are gifting it to others to raise it to the top of the iTunes video chart. Adam's video has even passed those by Adele and Whitney Houston, despite last weekend's events. However, it is unclear why LMFAO beat out Adam for the iTunes top video today, since their videos have been out for some time.

This evening Adam re-tweeted a fan photo of the iTunes top video chart with the message that it was #1 in USA, however, that chart looks like it might actually come from iTunes Canada. (For example, it shows Canadian band Marianas Trench at #6 and they are not even in the top 50 on the US iTunes chart.) Adam must have figured it out because he later tweeted, "I love Canada! :)" Even so, #2 in the US is not too shabby!

Adam Lambert has impressed many people with the "Better Than I Know Myself" video, which has more than 2.7 million views on VEVO already. It is also very popular on the VH1 website, now in the #2 position for "Today's Most Popular Music." He was #1 in the ranking in this VH1 category for a while, but now he follows Train. Even on VH1, Adam's video is more popular than both Adele and Whitney Houston.

Do you have the "Better Then I Know Myself" video yet? If not, you can buy it at iTunes.

yep it is on my iPod as we speak, can't wait to relax and watch it later. I have enjoyed all this music video stuff just like I did with the FYE album. I hope it makes it on VH1 Top 20 Countdown this Saturday morning at 9am. I have been adding my votes everyday as allowed.

During Adam's interviews he has mentioned a couple of time need for a balance between the light and dark being. And this led too much pondering over the depth of Adam's Light and Dark side concept for his 'Better Thank I Know Myself' video and the recent untimely death of Whitney Houston and her struggle between her personal and public persona. As she herself mentioned in many a prime time interview that she was not as sweet and innocent that the public image implied. Now looking back, she suffered without finding balance on so many levels. I know this is just a music video to be embraced for its visual and musical artistry but the more I watch it the more I find intended or not a deeper life empowerment message. Congratulation to the Executive Producer & Artist Director Adam on a job well done... Oh! So apropos... purchased the video as soon as I could, Valentines Day.

I'm Canadian and proud of it. Let's keep him at number one and would love to see those VEVO views increase a couple of million and WHEN are we going to hear the song on the radio? The best station in my area of Canada is 90.3. They play all of the hits and they mean it. If it's new and good whether it be U.S. or Canadian you will hear it first.
They do however follow U.S. charts very closely. Maybe they are waiting to see how well it does south of the border.
