But if he releases all songswith a video before release whos going to buy it?
I thought about that as well. I think it's a slight flaw in his plan but I won't speak on it.

From what I'm seeing as fif said back in like 07-08 we are in a singles driven market. The funeral already has over one million youtube views and the link to buy on i-tunes is present there under the video. I don't know how many sales can be gained from that but it will translate to some sales and it will continue to be viewed/purchased for years to come. Then you have the money coming from youtube directly and streaming radio payouts. Someone could buy this track and still purchase the entire album, buy each track individually, buy some tracks and skip others etc. He has the pre-orders set up to so people may pre-order, can't wait and still purchase individual tracks before they get their product on the release date.

It looks to me he isn't doing the traditional first week sales model the industry is using. That model builds excitement for one day (the day of the release) and then it's over. It's not really a lasting plan imo as it promotes a specific day almost over the product itself. Once that day is over, the product itself is over to, the consumers move on the same way they do for any other holiday. Does that make sense? Just a theory I've been formulating recently.

the cadence 50 has been using on these last two tracks, the funeral hold on

instead of some in your face type delivery I think this fits him better this far into his career

Maybe some of the songs that are going to be released for free wont be on the album but instead just tasters and AA has a totally different tracklist?

I am almost sure the final product will be different in one way or another. I mean the funeral isn't on that picture and I believe that is going to be on the final product.. so I don't even call that the tracklist rather promotional plan
