The best bet is for DLWML (or whatever the second single is) to premiere April 21 and be a pop crossover SMASH. Premiere it on radio with a 24 hour iHeartRadio deal and release the video the following week (on a Monday of course). Discount it on iTunes the week of release and have discounted bundles for your album with tour tickets included.

Hopefully I Bet speeds up a little and gets a top 3 peak on urban so DLWML can take over on all formats (except for urban AC which will have I Bet). All throughout this time, going on 2-3 shows a week to promote and perform the album.

OMG!! This could be a game changer!!! Ciara is KNOWN to be an epic performer, so there might be a whole audience out there who wants to see her live but have never paid attention to her full albums

Epic, bundle the **** out of that album please

YES,

This could work

April 6: Put Jackie on iTunes pre-order
April 7: Release I Bet remix to rhythmic/pop radio
April 9: Interview & I Bet performance on Wendy
April 10: Interview & I Bet performance on The View
April 13: Put DLWML on iTunes pre-order
April 21: Release DLWML on iTunes
April 21: DLWML premiere on all iHeartRadio pop/rhythmic/urban stations
April 21: DLWML performance on Dancing With The Stars
April 24: DLWML performance on Ellen
April 27: DLWML video premiere
April 28: DLWML performance on The Voice
May 2: SNL host & I Bet/DLWML performance
May 4: Abum release
May 4: Jimmy Fallon
May 5: GMA performance
May 6: Today performance
May 13: #1 album

And call into radio stations! A Breakfast Club interview would be nice.

*DLWML is what I'm calling the second single

You'd think Epic would be smarter with the release date. Maybe they do have good things planned who knows.

they need to hire you tbh

[1-N-Only21]

They don't need to hire any of you tbh.

[Navyman]

Man I keep looking at the album cover for this and get more and more mesmerized by it each time, my favorite album cover by far.

Right. I'm sitting here reading confused af.

[TurntUp]

omg c squad is the definition of a hot mess (love it tho)

Those of you saying like 25k-45k tho...come on! Have a little faith. I Bet is selling just as well as Bldy Party so that should be a good sign. Hopefully I Can Flop That does well and gives the album some longevity!
Either way I can't wait and as much as it does seemed rushed which it is, Marvin was right cause if she does push it back for a second crossover single and that flops then the album ain't doin shyt!

[Attitude]

She could do an arena tour if she co-headlined with somebody. Usher maybe?
I hope we get album #7 next year.

Trey Songz would be good for a US tour. Usher doesn't co-headline. Chris would bring controversy. The other r&b singers are irrelevant

[CupidsSanity]

The album isn't rushed at all. This tour will generate more buzz than Ciara has had in awhile. I bet will probably still be growing on radio close to its peak and if the 2nd single is released before w/ the video being released the day of the album this could go well. Releasing the album before the tour was the best move Ciara has made in a while. This has been her best handled era period since the evolution.

I agree that the era is being handled great so far but I feel like she should do most of the tour BEFORE the album release date, like the Evolution Tour. A May 25 date would make more sense imo. It allows I Bet to peak and for the second single to gain more on radio.

I won't be worried if Epic has some great promo planned out, but...

[CupidsSanity]

True but I just figure sale it while it's fresh. Tag along friends who attend the tour will lean more toward buying the album after seeing an act fresh on their minds. The album being out during could also help ticket sales as well. I'm hoping the tour and album will help one another. When she gave the release date I knew she would release the album. I know CI is tired of performing old material.

it's not like she has been touring much...
I can't wait for the tour tracklist tho

[KekeStann]

Any collabs that y'all want? I really hope Missy and Nicki are on the album.

[Lippy]

Epic better not leak this a month prior like last time
