18 May: season finale of SNL?  

What's Taylor doing? There was some buzz about her coming soonish, but are we still thinking Q4?

Out of all the Grammy/LG6 discussion, I just wanna say that I recall a possible Christmas album for Adele, so she could even release before the Grammy deadline in order to shift more copies until December. But that’s not even confirmed yet. The only confirmation we have right now is Rihanna.

Yup.

I think Taylor will go for Q4 again because she will want big debut numbers and she will have the hype from Cats too.

But pre-orders in Korea are a tricky thing. It's strange. I think preorder count for something called GAON charts (this on counts the number of albums that are printed and go to stores). The REAL numbers are the ones in HANTEO charts (actual sales) which mean we shouldn't take that number as actual sales. It'll still do above 1.5M in SK alone though

hanteo are fraudulent, they reduced EXO's album sale numbers just because they didn't like them. (they got exposed and issued an apology and fired the staff member who was responsible, but still it's absolutely ridiculous for an institution that is supposed to remain neutral)

I think pre-orders are tricky in Korea because you can pre-order an album, but you're not obliged to pay and actually pick it up. Genie by Girls' Generation had a pre-order number of 150k but sold like only 90k first week.

Yes but it's the only one that "reports" actual sales. You can't really trust GAON either because those are the one shipped to the store.

I know, I wouldn't use the preorders to estimate their debut number :shrug:
