Why are songs available in the UK so late after the official release in the USA?

The UK doesn't have an on air on sale approach, they premier songs 6 - 7 weeks before release and let them build on radio, that way when they are released the songs open with a high peak, normally the highest the song will go.
Though recently a few artists have favoured the On Air/On Sale approach with success and apparently labels are trying this again, they tried unsuccessfully a few years ago, songs just sunk without a track before.
