Wherever, it's not the US which isn't good lol.

She doesn't start in late November. She starts October 31 and goes through all of November and part of December.

Her October break is only a few weeks or so. Then she's not off until the second week of December.

I would be more inclined to believe the album would come in December.

Yeah December or October.

December would be late in the game which would kind of suck, miss Black Friday and everything. Also the lead single would probs miss the Sept 30 Grammy deadline. But shed be free then.

I guess she could possibly promote two different singles before the album release in December, if that happens to be the true album release month. She would have to release the first single pretty soon, though. No later than August....

She could do a single in September even for an October release.

Bad Romance came out a month before TFM. However, it seems to have become industry standard to have a single out 2-3 months before an album now.

I really don't understand that... The public I would think starts to lose interest after that long. I'd prefer a shorter time frame from the single to album release. While the song is still charting high and the public hasn't gotten sick of the song yet, there is still excitement floating around and they would be more inclined to buy the album.

They probably figure they don't wanna subtract from single sales by putting the album too close. (Via complete my album feature on iTunes)

Album sales > Single Sales and it's only one week. They need to get their priorities straight!

Maybe have two singles and bonus tracks before the album?

Like Bieber and Swift, Gaga is much more of a powerhouse on itunes before an album release. And multiple songs charting high on itunes helps sell the album.

Sadly now album sales are mostly due to actual fans, not casual listeners. The majority of people just want singles (they're usually the best songs on the album anyways, except for born this way lol)

That would be an interesting concept to release the bonus tracks as promo singles. That surely would have caused meltdowns with BTW, though :dies:

If that's the case then the 'Complete My Album' will not affect single sales much if at all. From my experience it doesn't.
