We only got the "before the 19th of August" date because Jeff asked around on the day Gagas news was released, I wouldn't be surprised if Katys team hadn't had a meeting by that point to see if they'd still go ahead with it or not...

But does it really make sense that Gaga releasing her lead single August 18th completely screws up Katy's schedule of releasing the lead single next week (A full 2 weeks before Gaga drops hers, with a good promo campaign that's enough for it to get traction) and releasing the album in September (which she should really do because the Grammy field isn't as strong as previous years).
I mean, after 2 weeks I assume Katy's song should have had a significant amount of airplay so there's a possibility that she holds of Gaga's lead single unless Applause sells like 600K in its first week.
I think releasing next week is/should be an option, still.
