Bradley 59,064 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Is to avoid clarity on precision so that hackers wouldn't be able to gauge how close the release date is to us? What are your theories on this? Also why is it that singers always release their singles on Fridays? Does it maximise the first week chart and sales success of the song?

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Friday is the start of the tracking week for streaming and sales chart. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckythisway 2,610 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Friday is the beginning of the tracking week, so yeah if you release then you get 7 days of sales. idk bc if she's surprising at the VMA's, then she might not announce it at all.

PlanetChromatica 2,266 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Friday releases are because the weekly music charts around the world normally start recording sales Friday to Thursday. She's probably being vague about precise release date because of what happened with Applause, kinda hoping she's tricking us and it drops on 26th and she opens the VMAs 😂 I can dream...

ChrisGaga 315 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 because she doesn't want someone to release a new single on that day too, like Katy Perry did it with "Roar" on the release date of "Applause" ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creyk 17,817 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Other than what the others already pointed out, it's also a way to get more press. Just the announcement gets people talking, but now when the actual release date is revealed she will be talked about by everyone again. Releasing inormation little by little in this way makes sure she is on people's minds longer and the longer people focus on her, the more the news spread, they don't forget about her.

Dorothy Gale 7,575 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think to give Gaga's team some flexibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GANGIE 5,420 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think that september thing is just a trick. I have a feeling that we'll hear the song much sooner... but anyway, september isn't that far away so I don't mind.

Infinity Wave 7,635 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 So katy will finally be outselled by Gaga's new single and the world will finally recognize Gaga's talent because no one will buy katy's single cuz no one will know when it comes out (in 2013 everybody knew it only cuz the same day Gaga was releasing Applause as we all know) Seriously: I think that, because of the possibility of a premature leak, she wants to avoid a "rushed" release, and by not telling the date, at any moment she could release it, and it could be the initial date; in other words, we don't know the date, every date could be likely, so when she finally releases it we (and the GP) won't talk of a "rushed" release or so Colourful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 What has Katy Perry got to do with it? Has she revealed that she's releasing in August or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexxx 1,393 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yeah, maybe because of hackers, or about having a flexibility when to release, or maybe they really don't have a set date yet. And also why y'all always afraid of Katy?? If the music is good, people will buy it (or should I say, If the promotion is good, people will buy ) All I ever wanted was 🅻🅾🆅🅴 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
