EnigmaMonstr 26 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 A March album release with no singles before 2013 is a bit awkward because it's too cramped for two lead singles and either means missing out February promo opportunities (Grammys/Brits) with the single dropping a few weeks before the album or releasing the lead single and album months apart. The best option, IMO, is to let the lead single do it's thing for a few months and then focus on the album. A natural hype builder, but without leaving it too long with two lead singles. People will need convincing to invest in ARTPOP, and a huge lead single should do it. 2012 - Single and album release date announcement. (Dec) - Single artwork revealed for Christmas. (Dec) 2013 - Lead single debuts on the 1st, released on the first chart week day depending. (Jan) - Video drops two/three weeks later. (Jan) - Grammy performance on 10th. (Feb) - Brit performance on 20th. (Feb) - Promo singles/performances of some sort. (Mar) - Terry Richardson film? (Mar) - ARTPOP released in late March. - 2nd single released. (Apr) etc. The benefit of this route is that we get a few weeks hype and the single drops exactly when radios are craving something fresh. Plus, staggering out the release, video, Grammy and Brit performances over 2ish months should aid longevity. Giving it enough time to die down before the album promo kicks in is wise too, especially if she has promo singles of some sort on the cards. We don't want a repeat overcomplicating. Love this timeline tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexxx 5,623 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I am not here for having Gaga release a lead single in December. We've gone this far without any music so it would be best to release a new single at the beginning of next year. New year, new era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toanythingtaboo 5 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Did you just suggest promo singles? Get out. I don't want promo singles, but I think they're going to do something there. C'est la vie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar 1,031 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Justin Bieber's already released a song with Zedd as a producer. This means Gaga won't have that fresh new sound that everyone here wants. I'm still up for ARTPOP though. Edited October 14, 2012 by Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplay 217 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I completely support you. This should be a thread honestly. A lot of these mods are too thick headed to make appropriate judgments. Don't let these other users convince you you're wrong because you did nothing wrong. Anyway to stay on topic, Justin Bieber's already released a song with Zedd as a producer. This means Gaga won't have that fresh new sound that everyone here wants. I'm still up for ARTPOP though. Exactly my toughts, and that breakdown is awful imo.

Rollercoaster 2 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I don't want promo singles, but I think they're going to do something there. C'est la vie. I have that same sinking feeling. Perhaps they'll be done as song puzzles instead... sometimes I think we should all bunch together and collectively petition the organizers of these album strategies to take notice of prior mistakes.
