				3 1/2 months. That's not unusual, actually. It's a bit on the long side. Very similar to Selena's current release schedule, and BTW's release. Rihanna's and Christina's releases are a bit more rushed, the time between Diamonds and Unapologetic was 2 1/2 months.

 And Gaga ended up releasing 3 singles before the album 

Selena is not a major star 
 
Taylor, P!nk, Rihanna, Britney, Adele, Beyoncé (& even Ke$ha/Nicki) released their lead single 2 -2 1/2 months before the album, because their singles start smashing (or flopping, in Bey's case) right away.
