That was illuminating. Those BeiberArmy generals are moguls in the making or at the very least, it's a great item on their resumes to management and marketing firms. |

More from Glamazon: Once again.
You will NOT get the song this week but the press release WILL be sent in a FEW days.
I know you guys can figure out the release date!Damn him! *shakes fist* Press release Friday, with single release Monday or Tuesday makes sense to me. :-/ But what does he mean by "release?: Does he mean radio gets to start playing it? Because releasing to i-Tunes without first having a week or 2 of radio play is just..... well, usually not the way singles are marketed (and for very good reason.) Tuesday is called "new music Tuesday" on i-Tunes. But lately, artists have been releasing more and more on Mondays. Basically, a label can release any day they want. I really can't see an i-Tunes release before it gets some radio exposure. Only the stans will even know it exists. |

This sounds about right. So I have less than a week to finish all the Christmas crap (NO tree or decorations indoors- cat issues, LOL), get the orchid/ grow room ready for a week of neglect (NO houseplants- cat issues LOL), groom all the animals, clean the house, freeze a couple of weeks worth of meals, visit the friendly liquor store, and do everything else possible to free me up for a squee-a-thon that puts all others to shame. So what sorts of foodstuffs stack neatly beside my computer screen, can be eaten with one hand, and provide the complete sort of nutrition and stamina needed for a fandom at level Defbert 1? Fruits, bottled water, and raw almonds. Sounds like a plan  |

OT, but not to certain peeps: Heard a report that someone hacked the LSU website that sells clothing, etc. and changed the colors to red and white. Guess it's been fixed now. (On NPR Morning Edition) BamaFan??...  |

More from Glamazon:
Cover art for the single will be released this week as well.
[/size]
Um, yeah, I think this guy is for real. At this point, he has given way too specific info for a troll. That's not the troll MO

I am going with press release on Friday; release on Monday or Tuesday. And YES, press releases have to come out a day or two (or a month or two) before an event. The purpose of a PRESS release is to get PRESS coverage. You have to give them a chance to prepare, calendar stories, dispatch a reporter, give pre-event coverage to raise public awareness, etc. They also usually give all the pertinent information so stories can be quickly crafted based on the who, what, when, where, why and how in the release and a few supporting quotes. If the information is top secret in the press release, you only dispatch to a few people and let them know it's EMBARGOED INFORMATION; make sure they agree that they will not report it until a set-upon date date. However, this gives them the opportunity to plan coverage, etc. It's done all the time. I wouldn't imagine it would be released straight to iTunes; I think there will be a website, FB or some other partner site that will host the immediate d/l, then after a couple of weeks of play it will release to iTunes. ETA: My guess: Friday, about 11:00 a.m. PST, Adam will tweet: Hey guys!! My new single, "Better Than I Know Myself" is going to drop Monday!! I'm sooo excited for you to hear it!!
Will there be live streaming over the weekend? I have NO IDEA on that one.
We'll get a few other tweets/details and then Shirley Halperin will publish some exclusive with some juicy tidbits (TV appearances, where it will be available for sale, etc.) and other media will pick it up over the weekend.
A few industrious people will find the press release pretty quickly and all these details will be on it as well. MJ's will go up in flames with wank. We'll flail, squee and bite our nails. (We may actually melt down here if there is no live streaming of it and we DON'T get to hear it until Monday/Tuesday.)
Come Monday/Tuesday we'll all be nervous wrecks with twice as much gray hair than we have this week and I'll be cursing Adam's name because I can't take the *!&^@*&@&(^%$@ off work and how in the actual fuck am I supposed to not crash my car because he will likely be debuting when I'm driving to work???
But other than that ... ZOMG!! YAY!!!! |

SusieFierce thanks for answering my question about the PR. My experience is working in Tech firms, where you really don't issue releases too far in advance so that your competition doesn't have a heads up on what your are doing. Sort of shock and awe.  There were many a times that despite work within marketing along side the PR folks, we weren't even privy to what what going on.LOL |

There were many a times that despite work within marketing along side the PR folks, we weren't even privy to what what going on.LOL Yeah, if it's something like a new-product release, where there is proprietary information in it, you would have to be very careful with that. I DO think it is likely embargoed and will go out to some select few people that RCA has hand-picked for coverage, but they'll make the release public on Friday. ETA: Interesting that you say that about despite working with marketing/PR you weren't privy. I read an article about Steve Jobs and am currently reading his bio and he was insistent about that type of thing. Each person only knew information that was directly pertinent to their own job – everyone was on a "need to know basis," which made difficult for any one person's leaks, accidental or otherwise, to bring down an entire project. I think that's common with tech, in particular. |
