Jan 13 - SOHN and The xx
Jan 20 - Presidential Inauguration will be the focus of media attention
Jan 27 - several artists - not sure when the Major Lazer release happens
Feb 3 - Super Bowl weekend
Feb 10 - Dua Lipa (similar genre) and others. Grammys are on Feb 12.
Feb 17 - Ryan Adams and others
If she wants a #1 and also decent sales, I'm not sure when is the best time to release.
Edit: if she released on Jan 13 and there are no big name releases on Jan 20, she could get the #1 spot for 2 weeks+
if she wants to appear at some of the big festivals she really needs to release in Q1.
Do the festival promoters sign artists that haven't released new music and aren't likely to release before the festival?
The last Coachella lineup was published in the first week in Jan 2016.
Edit: from the Coachella thread
p102 -
p103, the lineup will be published somewhere between 3-Jan and 10-Jan.
There is also a risk of leaks if she waits too long.

It might be longer than 40 minutes, but I'd be surprised to see her liking a tweet about "not incl too many songs" if she was working on an album with 20 tracks.
