At the latest it'll be released by the end of the month. The album MUST be released in March to save Sony's asses () and they wouldn't dare have less than 2 months between the first single and album.

And Sony is basically hanging by a thread right now.
I would love to know what's going on over there at Jive. I hope this disorganization isn't a sign of things to come. It would be absolutely terrible if this era turned out to be a mess.
As much as I don't want to say this, maybe they're waiting until next week now because of Avril's "What The Hell."
