    Promoted releases don't work anymore. That old rollout of putting singles out and waiting for a few months is outdated. The sales also show this.

    Surprise sells better but surprise is also annoying if they give literally no clues.

    hard to choose, surprise releases are only good if it's a well known name. i'd be dissapointed if an album was to drop and it was from an artist i don't f--- with. promo releases are getting played out and taking forever for artists to drop since they are always scared whether it does good or not. i got to go with promo releases.

    Surprise releases are probably capable of gettin my d-ck a bit harder cos you're not expectin it. That's only if it's a big artist tho.

    Depends on the situation. Like IYRTITL was good for a surprise release but Views should be marketed.

    yeah i prefer a mix of the two
    have a promoted release date
    and then suprise people a week or two early
    gets the best of both worlds

    Surprise releases are fun, but i don't mind promoted releases. The promoted release date shouldn't be announced too many months before the release date though, maybe like a month.

    Promoted.
    That feeling of waiting for an album and it finally dropping/releasing is great.

    Promoted is the way it should be. The surprise release has been played out ever since Beyonce did it

    Promoted. But i think that, in some occasions, surprises are good.
