Adam Lambert's new single Better Than I Know Myself was released digitally earlier this week and is already selling well, not only in the U.S., but also abroad. Immediately on the day of release, the single hit #1 on the Finnish iTunes chart. This doesn't come as too big a surprise, given that Adam is a well-known artist in Finland both for his talent and because he is dating a Finnish celebrity. The single is ranking high on charts in other countries as well. In addition to Finland, it topped the overall Top Songs chart in both the Hungarian and Estonia iTunes stores this week. It also debuted at #1 on the "Top 25 singles" chart of Music Daily in Hungary. Additionally, the song cracked the top 20 on the Top Songs chart on iTunes for both the U.S. and Canada. Plus, Adam's new single is not just taking over sales in Europe and North America. Better Than I Know Myself has hit #1 on the Japanese Sony Music Shop's list of International single CD's pre-sale ranking.
Although Better Than I Know Myself was released digitally, there has been no official promotion for the song yet. It was sent to radio stations this week, a few of which have played it several times. However, Adam has yet to do a full promo tour, including interviews and television performances. This will probably happen in January when the song is officially added to the play lists of radio stations everywhere. Given the single is doing so well both in the U.S. and internationally, it's is a good sign that this will be a chart-topping hit in 2011!
