Happy Birthday, Adam Lambert!

Just one year ago, the country was introduced to Adam Lambert on the Season 8 San Francisco auditions episode. Since stepping onto the scene, Adam has become a household name.

With his Top 36 performance of Satisfaction, Adam sailed into the Top 13. His bold song choices and impeccable vocals contributed to his safety week after week, eventually making him the Season 8 runner-up. Soon after Season 8 wrapped, Adam was signed to 19 Recordings and licensed to RCA Records. While touring around the country with the Top 10 on the American Idols LIVE! 2010 tour, Adam was simultaneously writing and recording tracks for his debut album. On November 23, 2009, Adam released For Your Entertainment, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. As of now, the album has sold approximately 478,000 units in the U.S.

Earlier this week, the birthday boy visited birthday girl Ellen DeGeneres on the set of her talk show to perform Strut in honor of her 52^nd birthday.
