And while releasing the top selling album in the country is obviously an achievement every artist strives for, Adam's success is doubly sweet because Trespassing's number one debut also marks the first time in history than an openly gay artist has ever achieved this feat!

"[That's a] very cool milestone," he said. "I hope that it sends a message to the music industry that they shouldn't be scared. That it is possible to have commercial success with an openly gay artist. And hopefully it gives other out artists some encouragement and maybe even LGBT youth – gives them a sense that dreams are possible."
