Exactly. Albums require quality singles to be coming out months, if not YEARS after release! Justin Timberlake was a perfect example on his last album. He had singles flowing for over a year after the album came out, but had he used 4 before there was even an album, his tour and album would have died off much sooner.4 singles from that ONE album is too much before it's release.. ya it would give it a good first week sales but it would minimize the potential of a long life for the album..
The way to go is lead single with video to start, then as the album hits stores throw the public a second single. From then onwards, singles every few months like normal. (remember good hits stay on charts for months and months on end)
Bang! On target. 100% agreeOUT-DOING THRILLER?!!!
How old are you smiles?
Apparently not old enough to remember just how insanely popular Thriller was in it's heyday.
Michael was god in 1984, when Thriller was at the height of it's popularity. That won't ever happen again.
Ever.
You're living in la-la land if you think otherwise. MJ's 50 years old, has been accused of pedophilia twice, and hasn't made a hit since "You Rock My World". Just because it's taking him a few years (which is something he always does) to make the new album doesn't mean it's gonna sell over 100 million copies. MJ will NEVER out-do Thriller.
He'll be much better off when you and other's here realize this. Because Michael doesn't need that kind of pressure leveled at him. Give the guy a break.
Hollaback.
