Daveoooo

I dont really care because I know it was released an have bought it, but here's my 2 cent's worth -

Having seen album promotion for other artists on TV they are generally after the albums release with a tag line of "top 5 ablum" or "number 1 album", thus promo is done to continue sales rather than just excite for the 1st week.

Also I recently had an email to participate in a forum discussion on who should do a voice over for the tv advert for the new Prince album (generally most said Prince - bad call! - along with Pharell Williams amongst others). So this would follow my previous comment that the promo would start after the release date.

So in a few weeks we shall see if I am correct or not!

U.S.A. is not the world.

Paris had its walls covered by AOA posters for 2 weeks.
Almost all big networks made some "record of the week" news.
Internet coverage and reviews is at top heights.

What more do you want in 2014?

Have you seen the sales figures?

Do you really want to see all of your weeks sales spent into some bad narcissistic video (as usual)?

Right.

What more do you want in 2014?

Various unheard bonus tracks on the multi-disc PR remaster thing. Make it at least three discs.

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.
