It’s April :skip:why even announce albums 2-3 months. Just drop while your fans are tuned in now.

A lot of people announce albums long beforehand now. They setting up to sell pre-orders and make money off methods other than streaming. Plenty of pop stars do it too.

Recently these people did it:

Durk
Drake
Carti
Travis
Future

It just seems not smart in this climate. Albums should drop immediately.

Not really. Anything goes nowadays. Real fans will pre-order and support via vinyl and cds and merch.

It’s about making money at the end of the day.

And everyone will tune in a week entire once social media makes it go viral etc.

Guess it depends on the artist. Wayne does have a following so I can see him selling good. He’s gonna need a single or a couple of songs to get fans excited. He’s been gone for a long time.

He hasn't tho. He be dropping random stuff. He's just not in "the conversation" right now. But that really because he doesn't have to be.

I think he should drop a single maybe like a week before. He isn’t a commercial billboard artist anymore so I don’t think he should chase a big hit record but I would be happy to see him drop some singles with Drake and Nicki.

It would be dope to see him on top of the billboard one last time though. C5 did crazy numbers.
