Nothing is special about October.
---
SCTGITY debuts @ #40 in Australia.

They actually don't do too bad as Katy Perry did ok then and also it's Taylor Swifts album month the past few eras.

I think it would be the 2nd to last best option.

Best option at this point: November (if they really need time to get the hype machine up and persuade casual buyers and higher sales)
2nd best option: September (if they think it's smarter to do this from a strategic standpoint with awards and long term sales
3rd best option October: If they just couldn't do it in time for the grammy cutoff
4th best option December: if they plan to make this era with a personal touch and release it on her birthday and use that gimmick to drive it

Good thing about September: grammy cutoff Bad thing: might be too soon to reach out to a wider audience

October: Still gets a month of fan base sales and then focus on promo sales for the holiday bad: it's just kind of there

November: Gives more time to promote and gets strong sales and black friday discounts bad: competition is steep some years

December: Obviously people are buying gifts that year but it's not like people buy albums more than digital nowadays and the bad part is you lose out on black friday sales

That's good news. It' looks like SCTGITY is off to a good start.
I'll hopefully get more and more into it. I have it in my to work playlist and I give it more time than I do PNP.
I at least use her verses. I'll eventually get to listening through usher's parts too.

Everything slw said about the months is 100% true.

She seems to be slaying the Aussies.

Thanks for the compliment.
When she said best month...I think Aatthew thought she said special month...I think it has to do with either of those ideas.

Honestly, as much as the good bruh Nasty Nas wants it in September and as much as the unreliable guy said a month or two...it's quite possible that it may be for the best to release it in November.
I just feel iffy about the competition.
Holiday albums pulling a susan boyle to alicia keys on Nicki
Rihanna might release and she will most likely secure black friday.
If her sell, is to do black friday the way she did with her first album I just don't like the chance of not getting #1.
Rihanna giving her fans time to breathe while still being relevant means even more anticipation can come from her record.
I'm sure she'll be #1 in either month regardless.

Yeah, I'd love for her to show the vulnerable, introspective PNP solo and then the uptempo triumphant, euphoric and aspirational solo 2nd single
1) because i'm sure the remaining singles might have a feature or two even if she's only going to have a few features on the album
2) so that she can say that she isn't relying on features to secure hits.
3) 3 verses...I love her songs with 3 verses. Many of her songs with 1 or 2 make me want more.
Blazin with Kanye's motormouth self instantly comes to mind.

Well, we will have the remix tomorrow.

then next week Bang bang...

Why are you referring to her as Nicki MInaj?

"Nicki Minaj" I would never...

I really hope the second single doesn't come until mid-late October.

All the talk show hosts and singing competitions come back on in September, so she can perform PnP on those shows when they come back on.

Plus, she's nominated at the TCAs, so she might perform PnP there, and she's already performing at the VMAs and she has a good relationship with MTV, so I don't see why they wouldn't give here a solo performance time slot to perform PnP?

I doubt it will work that way

She's supposed to promote overseas in September.

Ellen and those shows will be back in September true
SNL 3will be back late Sept/early October
I say release the 2nd single in August/September at latest.

We need more than PNP to persuade people outside of her base (casual fans (those swayed by promo), fickle fans (those that will support if Nicki is what THEY want her to be), bandwagon fans (those that will jump on whatever is hot), common folk fans (those that are so picky but will support if they like the product))

November does give her that time although I really want September.
I really don't think Eminem is gonna be a threat as you all might believe

Even with past albums he's been able to score at least 2 hits and have longevity and he isn't having that now...impact is an important factor and I truly believe that September gives it enough time to build a buzz and still be fresh by the time the committee votes and she can still make the deadline.

Pulling for Nasty Nas' dream

Lettuce pray.

There's a good chance you'll have the entire album by October. The single is coming in two weeks. PNP isn't going to do anything else.

Better yet she can perform PNP and the 2nd single when the talk shows start again. For VMAs, we don't know yet if she's doing a solo set or even performing. TCA is very unlikely too.

Doubt it.

The higher than a kite beat is so infectious. Serving parkers simplistic productions realness

I'm not giving up on a September release.
