Adam Lambert Makes History Atop Billboard Chart
by Hilton Hater at .Adam Lambert has made history.
The former American Idol runner-up shot past another famous series alumnus this week and claimed the number-one spot on the Billboard 200 for his latest album, "Trespassing." In doing so, Lambert became the first openly gay man to sit atop the chart.
Yes, Clay Aiken achieved the same status with his 2003 CD, but he did not come out of the closet until five years later.
Of course, the important thing is not Lambert's sexuality; it's his success. The eccentric crooner sold 77,000 units of "Trespassing" in the seven days since its release. Well done, Adam!
Here's a look at the Billboard top five:
- Adam Lambert, Trespassing: 77,000
- Adele, 21: 63,000
- Carrie Underwood, Blown Away: 54,000
- Norah Jones, Little Broken Hearts: 45,000
- Tenacious D, Rise of the Fenix, 44,000

Adam Lambert is so talented and has an awesome voice and moves; I'm so glad he's here on earth to share his music---I'm addicted to him and can't wait to see him LIVE! You Rock Adam!
Nice job
I think ppl need to leave adam alone!!!!Follow what u should have been taught as a kid, if u can't say something nice...then DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!! I like his music...who cares if he is straight, gay,or otherwise. Also, who cares about his personal business. It's his life, let him live it as he sees fit.
It is the lowest #1 in more than a year. fixed.
77k is pathetic. It is the lowest 31 in more than a year. Adele's cd is in it's 66th week so beating it is pathetic and nothing to brag about. His 2 songs are flops and by next year he will be dropped by his record company. Buh Bye.
