Why would a delay be that bad?

[SwissMonster 29,118]

Sorry for yet an other thread on this subject. I just have to talk about it and share my thoughts, wich I hope everyone respects and can be discussed normally!

So, I really don‘t get why a lot of you act like delaying the album is the worst thing ever. I mean, I want the album as much as everyone, I‘m SO excited but let‘s be real here, shouldn’t that be the exact reason why a delay would be good?

We waited for so long for a proper „Gaga era“ and the possibilities to give us everything we dreamed off. But let‘s say the album is out on April 10th, what then? She can‘t go out, there is literally no way for her to promote it besides maybe some facetime calls with radio stations.

You get what I mean? The era is short anyways (if you count from Stupid Love to the end of the Chromatica Ball), imagine her not stepping out until later mai, even june (wich is highly possible since the virus isn‘t near to be over). It just makes no sense to me to release the album now. She can‘t do talk shows, she can‘t shoot music videos, she can‘t do surprise performances and award shows/big events are cancelled anyways. Not even talking that promotion on Billboards would make 0 sence since everybody is inside.

Right now, I have other thoughts in mind and am truly scared that I can‘t enjoy this era if she releases it now. Sure I would listen to it, and love it, and stream it but what then? Nothing until the Chromatica Ball and then she goes on a 100 years hiatus until C3C? 

Also, I saw some people saying we shouldn’t care about the sales...I couldn’t agree more with y‘all but you forget that Interscope is a company that wants to make money. Streaming alone isn‘t enough there. And even if it is, it‘s just too risky, I can imagine that they wanna wait until there are „normal“ circumstances to release an album.

My point: If we want a real era, we have to wait. She can release 3 or 4 singles instead of only one before the album. We know she shot a MV so I could imagine her doing it like this in a 2-3 week span:

Spoiler

-Single 2 (Last week of March)

-Cover and Tracklist reveal (First week of April) + Lyric video single 2

-Single 3 (Ariana collab, MV) (Last Week of April

-Single 4 (Together with Tracklist reveal) (3rd week of may)

-Album (mid June)

Sure maybe she won‘t do this. But even if she doesn‘t do it like that. I still think it‘s better to release the album at a later point

I hope a lot of you understand what I mean. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this.

I don't wanna live in a world that looks like that, I'm sorry.

The problem is. There might be a leak. Since physical copies are already produced. I think. Which will hinder the success of Chromatica. 

[Rifek 51,753]

We need it right now more than any other time. 

F*** the charts.

Let us enjoy the music while staying home.

I agree with you, a few weeks delay is nothing+ it’s likely gonna happen and it’s Interscope’s decision, not even Gaga can change it so you guys better accept it and move on.

Are physical copies already produced tho? I thought they stopped producing CD‘s for the moment?

I get that. But tbh only fans would try to get the leaks. The GP will not search for it and most fans pre ordered the album anyways.

Let‘s just hope it doesn‘t leak for the sake of Gaga and this Era

Do you read at all? I don‘t care about the charts but interscope does, it‘s a company...for them it‘s Bling not the Music

Probably.  For an album this big. They need to be ahead of making physical copies and that means the master of the songs are already in the hands of the suppliers. 

[MaryJaneHolland 77,348]

Dua's album leaked 2 weeks ahead of release.

Chromatica will leak too, pushing it further makes it even worse.

And when? In June the world will still be in full emergency. This virus will last for months, don't think that with the summer it will disappear, it will continue to circulate.

But she didn‘t even put out the album cover. Also as long as they are not delivered it‘s all good no?

I mean let‘s say if they aren‘t produced yet. Wich tbh I could imagine. That whole drama really started off 2 weeks ago. So do you think they already made the CD‘s 5 weeks ahead?

Yes, but at least then she tried to delay it. If it is still a full emergency then, then I agree she should release it but she could delay and hope for the better. Or should I say interscope, cause in the end it‘s not up to her

This virus ain’t going anywhere for a while unfortunately 

also the album might leak 

like that old saying goes: you win some you lose some
