Adam Lambert is Back with “Another Lonely Night” Music Video

Adam Lambert’s new music video is on Youtube. Although, as of 10/9/15 12:50AM, it is still unlisted and therefore won’t show up in a search or on Lambert’s list of music videos, you can watch it if you have the link to the direct URL. Luckily, I do. And now, I am sharing it with you. ;P You can watch “Another Lonely Night” HERE.

“Another Lonely Night” is the second single off of Lambert’s third studio album, The Original High. Luke Gilford directed the music video; Adam Lambert, Sterling Fox, Max Martin and Ali Payami co-wrote the song.

Internationally, “Another Lonely Night” was released early in Poland and South Africa. It is currently charting at #s 28 and 35 on the iTunes charts of the two countries, respectively. “Ghost Town,” meanwhile, remains at #52 on MediaTraffic’s global singles chart, at #44 on the worldwide Spotify chart, and in the Top 25 on 12 countries’ iTunes charts (#3 Kazakhstan; #9 Finland; #9 Hungary; #11 Luxembourg; #12 Czech Republic; #14 Belarus; #16 Portugal; #21 Germany; #22 Namibia; #22 Netherlands; #23 Poland; #24 Austria). “Ghost Town” peaked in the Top 20 of the US Pop and Adult Pop Songs airplay charts, and at #64 on the US Hot 100. It peaked at #1 on Poland’s official airplay chart and at #2 on the official singles charts of Australia and South Africa. It has been certified for platinum sales in both Poland and Australia. It is currently sitting at a to-date peak of #12 on Germany’s official singles chart.

My personal opinion? I’ve always thought “Another Lonely Night” was a stronger single choice than “Ghost Town.”

“The Original High” should be Adam Lambert’s next single

Check out “The Original High” HERE.

I hope Adam and his label don’t assume that this song has less hit potential than “Underground” or “Another Lonely Night” just because of the youtube view count differential. The songs were released sequentially, with later released songs quickly falling into the same daily view count as the prior releases. “Underground,” for example, was released during the initial buzz surrounding “Ghost Town,” so, as new music from Adam, it received essentially the same initial view-count as “Ghost Town.” Later album cuts received less individual buzz and have had less time to accumulate views. Further, casual listeners of “Ghost Town” might want to see what else Adam’s album has to offer, and they are predisposed to click on the video with the most views, so the initial bias translates into a feedback loop.

I personally see this song as a highlight of the album and a potentially huge hit at pop radio. “Underground” is too dark to be the next single. It shouldn’t follow “Ghost Town.” “Underground” sounds like a followup to “Ghost Town,” and followups almost never do better than the original. “The Original High” doesn’t sound like “Ghost Town: Part 2;” it sounds like an original single with clear progression and a unique theme. Adam needs a new single that showcases his album (as the title track does) and shines the spotlight on both his artistic versatility and his ability to create a killer unique original pop hit that contributes substantively to the musical landscape.

For the above-mentioned reasons, I think “The Original High” is the best choice for Adam Lambert’s next single. What do you think? Sound off in the comments below.
