Beyonce won't be a threat on the singles chart (at least not the first week).
But releasing the album on the same day as Bey would not go over well, lol.
Brit's team is pretty good at planning single/album release dates, though, so I'm not too worried about that aspect.
I think Nov. 25 is a much better date than Dec. 2/3 tho. She needs to get those Black Friday sales. Unless Eminem or someone else is releasing that week.
it's not when, but where the meeting happens that's most important, imo with these servers, we'd be lucky to host a meeting of three without OC messages
it's like target gets an exclusive copy (with bonus tracks or something) and she gets free promo since they advertise it with a commercial that airs constantly. No one has flopped with a target deal(justin, taylor, and i believe pink & beyonce?) she's guaranteed at least 400k+ first week with a target deal + holiday sales.
