I personally do not think so. In fact I don't think its financially beneficial for you to, so if you do, you're not doing it for your own profit its just because you want to release.

What should people put first? Profit or music

the world is gonna be very strange place For a whole year so I hope she’ll bring us to her one Chromatica as soon as possible tho 

OT: Artists should release they music this year, their fans deserve it. Hope they can figure this out.

In Gaga situation, right now is extremely inappropriate. Mostly because she will get drag to hell and back for profiting from One World event.

it is NOT inappropriate, but it would be inappropriate to use the benefit concert as a platform for promo

The thing about Sam Smith delaying is the original title of the album. It itself probably wouldn't be seen as appropriate right now. And he's not a huge name, so he needs strong promo anyways.

Sam Smith was more of a business decision. People talk about political correctness and everything, but Sam's not an indie artist. There's other people involved in his music and they have to receive royalties as well.

It's just music, not that deep

And I personally think anyone who is upset and looking to music as their sole escape, I suggest investing in other things to do. There's a lot of stuff to do inside besides play music. 

There’s nothing wrong with music being an escape, but it shouldn’t depend on one specific artist

No...do we stop releasing music cuz thousands die from cancer, car accidents, starvation, etc?

Nothing to apologize for  its a habit! cant say im perfect when it comes to this topic either.

Come on now, everyone else is doing it. Nobody is complaining about it

If someone wanna do something for humanity, it is their prerogative. However, to postpone a release cos of it just doesn’t make sense. Just because the world is miserable now, doesn't mean we are not allowed to enjoy ourselves and the gift of life and music.

As others have said, physical music? Yeah, it's not essential and not right to make people distribute CDs and such. Digital? Go ahead.

But I like what Gaga is doing right now  focusing on the challenges we're facing rather than her work. I feel like this delay was only used to both address that (because we know Gaga likes to be a saint) and to get together a new promo plan to possibly release Chromatica as digital only (for now) and do different promo. Could be wrong but we'll see.
