Let me plan mine. I'm using Coldplay song
Genre: Alternative/Pop/Rock
1st single: Clocks.
Release date for single: March 1st
The single will start slow but word to mouth and critical acclaim will give it lots of buzz. By May, it's selling 300K a week. By June it's #1
July 1st: I announce the album release date and release 2nd single: Fix You.
Fix You becomes an immediate and massive hit.
September 1st: after lots of buzz and 2 #1 songs (Fix You is currently #1 and Clocks is still in the top5), my debut album is released.
2.6 millions opening week, 1.5 second week and the album sells over 500K for the rest of Q4
Metacritic: 95
Grammys: AOTY, SOTY (Fix You), ROTY (Clocks, Clocks actually won ROTY in real life), Best New Artist and other basic awards
