Have you ever wondered why so many online publications publish so many enthusiastic stories about Adam Lambert, when artists at a similar point in their careers receive far less coverage? We'll let you into a secret here: Adam Lambert is GREAT for traffic. Publish something about Adam Lambert, and page views explode.
This traffic comes from the Glamberts, Adam's very loyal, very vocal, very passionate and very click-happy fanbase. The Glamberts are - and we're only partially saying this because we don't want them to come round and murder us in our sleep - one of the best fanbases around.
But what is Adam Lambert beyond that fanbase? From a UK perspective, at least, he's someone who people know had something to do with American Idol a million years ago. They know he's had some music that's been good, and they know he's been hanging out with Queen quite a bit. But there's also a sense of most people not really getting what the fuss is all about.
Part of the fuss from the media is down to the click thing, but part of it's also down to the fact that when you meet Adam you meet someone who speaks and thinks like a proper actual popstar and who - unlike most popstars - understands exactly who what and where he is in the pop cosmos. But he couples that self awareness with an ambition to take his career somewhere new.
And that brings us to 'Ghost Town'. Created, like most of the best pop, with Max Martin, 'Ghost Town' is an unusual but instantly accessible (and also very good) song which does indeed take Adam somewhere new and does, we feel, have the potential to make sense of the fuss to people who aren't Glamberts and don't care about online traffic. It feels strange to suggest that someone with such a big profile might have delivered a crossover hit three albums into their career, but here it is. It is also, unarguably, one of 2015's Top 2 songs called 'Ghost Town'.
