RideOrDie Posted August 10 Posted August 10 y'all release whenever tf you want anyways, interscope loves wednesday releases, lots of UK/euro centric artists release earlier on thursday... 1
extra_ordinary Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Why can't the marketing effort continue on Monday? Tuesday releases seem weird now

State of Grace. Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Tuesday just...never made sense to me. Getting new music on Fridays is perfect because I usually like spending my weekend listening to new albums/discovering new artists if I'm staying at home.
every1blinks Posted August 10 Posted August 10 If not Friday, Monday would make the most sense with his "marketing days" comment. And Mondays in general could use the rebrand, poor dat 7
Folklore89sm Posted August 10 Posted August 10 There are perks to having it be Fridays. You can spend the weekend processing and absorbing the songs, which is especially useful when your fave drops a 31 song album ….but I'd go back to Tuesday in a heartbeat. It would be good to shake things up again. You would have almost the full week ahead to promote. 3 1
Gossip_Boy Posted August 10 Posted August 10 12 minutes ago, 2NE1 said: The lack of promotion is the problem, not a Friday release date. No one wants to work anymore. To be fair traditional promotion is very limited nowadays. No one watches live tv anymore with the exception of old people so all the talk show/late night show performances don't do ****. And there's no places like TRL, 106 & Park etc. What shows exist today that occupy the purpose those 2 used to occupy? Like if a performer wants to perform and interact with a predominately young audience, where do they go today? TikTok and spotify playlists is the only effective promo in 2024. 7

Tuesday is a random ass day 8 minutes ago, Superbitch said: Then in that case do it Sunday night/monday 12am because logistically it wouldn't work. songs would have to be ready and submitted by friday because labels don't work over weekend, and in our streaming age some artists only finish songs/submit it to the label hours before the friday release. if an artist wanted to submit something over the weekend to get it released on monday it'd be a nightmare. it would also make leaks more likely, especially big artists don't want their songs/albums sitting in DSPs for days, they only get them distributed hours before the friday release.

nathanspears Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Noooo, new music Fridays is what gets me throuh the week 3
The Next Day Posted August 10 Posted August 10 (edited) I don't care as much as about the day, but if we start with different release days in different countries again there will be riots. Pick a day for everyone. Edited August 10 by The Next Day 1

MardinBeksloy Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Just follow South Korean model and drop it on Monday at 6PM. It's the first day of the week and people are done with work/on the way home. 5

You can still listen to new music on whatever day you want.

The Next Day Posted August 10 Posted August 10 5 minutes ago, Janet said: They did. It's Friday And I would love for that to continue. But if they want to change the day, it's not a problem for me if all countries have new releases on Tuesday. I don't think they would go back to having different release days in different countries, but these are music excecutives, they're not very bright sometimes

jae91 Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Mondays would mean they need to work Sundays in order to have everything ready for the release at midnight which they're not going to want to do as they're too entitled to work weekends.
FrederickGa Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Monday is the most sensible alternative Tuesday is so RANDOM.. at least MONDAY screams "frest start", "what's new?"
SLUTTVFTV Posted August 10 Posted August 10 (edited) Stop trying to make "Tuesday" happen- it's not going to happen. Edited August 10 by SLUTTVFTV 1
