ETA: Blake may be on TRL the week after next. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we find out the specifics!
Hits Daily Double has predicted an opening week of 90K for Blake, based on first day sales.
“Audio Day Dream” has climbed to number 2 on iTunes. Yay! I’m sure most of you have already bought your copies, but remember that word of mouth is very important. Don’t forget to tell your friends, family, co-workers and myspace pals about A.D.D. Wouldn’t it be great to see Bshorty surpass the HDD prediction?

After several listens, “Break Anotha,” with its opening blast of sirens and its hiccup-y beats, sounds like it could easily hold its own on Billboard’s Hot 100. In other words, it’s not just a “good for an Idol graduate” kind of single, but instead the kind of track I’d spend money to download. Oddly, Blake’s falsetto and the flurry of strings on the bridge is slightly reminiscent of J.Lo’s “Do It Well,” but his voice sounds nonetheless confident and radio-ready throughout. And Blake’s lyrical word of caution (”So desperate/Be your best friend/Sign you up just to cross you off his checklist”) about a chronic womanizer — complete with a breakdown that suggests that he might, in fact, be the cad in question — is a refreshing change of pace from “moment like this” goo.
