Because it's factually a "surprise drop"

It's not a surprise drop
K bots in shambles

So people dont open instagram and see the many stories or posts from their friends or media saying the album is out and intentionally dont listen to it until the 2nd or 3rd week ? Use your fukking brain

its a different time, era and world. Nothing would of changed numbers wise.

So artists do rollouts for no reason then?

in 2024, basically. Thats why most albums drop within 24-72 hours of an announcement instead of weeks leading into an album. Some artists do zero roll outs, its not as uncommon as you think as streaming and social media become more advance.

Free shares/posts on instagram will out weight spending millions on commercials. word of mouth >

whens the last time you saw a poster on a wall for an album? Almost all marketing is done via social media.

And if they skip the tradition rollout what do they use in place to help leverage streams and boost sales?

Get with the times.

No what they actually do is slap 16+ tracks on the album because the more tracks the more streams the more sales, and then throw in bundles and other physical sales gimmicks.

None of that went into this release. It was a 12 track surprise drop.

his entire camp tweeted and posted on instagram the album was coming in a few days
