Popular Post Flashback Posted February 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2023 Can surprise album drops be commercially succesful (if you're not Taylor Swift)? I don't want the next GD album to be ignored and hope it gets as much attention as possible 🤔 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sanity Loan Posted February 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2023 Green Day isn't big enough to be successful with an out-of-nowhere album. They could have done it after American Idiot but not now. It would be fun though! I keep telling myself I shouldn't listen to pre-release singles and just hear the album when it all comes out but that's so hard to do. A surprise release would certainly make that possible. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamykatie Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Yeah, I don't think a surprise album release is gonna happen, for the reasons mentioned above. However... Billie, Mike, and Tre (his injury pending) performing one of the singles at Billie's bday party? (If Billie is planning a big bday bash like he did last year) I can see that happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we’ll have that. I assume the FOAM single was out early intentionally to coincide with the Hella Mega Tour announcement. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Bands also like to announce early so they can get a bunch of pre-sales to inflate that first week sales number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're Taylor Swift or other artists who could put out literally anything and it'll be cherished as the greatest thing in music history. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, wasn't the sales of the Trilogy less than expected, because their release was not advertised/promoted as usual due to Billie Joe's illness? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilogy would have sold 8 Billion copies if Billie had been able to promote. It's so awesome. I personally loved the Stray Heart video, so while it would have been weird they could have promoted and toured without Billie Joe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their releasing were pushed forward and then absolutely no promotion whatsoever. With the right set of singles, I honestly believe the Trilogy would have been a massive season of growth for the bands popularity. Before "THE INCIDENT" they were all over tv. all over the radio. all over the internet. playing everywhere, all the time. TRILOGY RULES!!!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwise Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Nah, I actually think a surprise drop might actually get people more excited than a regular release strategy. They absolutely are big enough to do that with success. You don't have to be Taylor Swift or Beyonce. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomniac90 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Limp Bizkit dropped their album out of nowhere affer 10 years. It performed very well in some streaming charts (they‘re not as big as Green Day). But I think they see their new album as a bigger project than FOAM. And the announcement/promo for Fall Out Boy wasn‘t very big or long-time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Clockwise Posted February 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2023 They're not gonna move units anyways, it's 2023. That doesn't happen anymore. It's better to make a big splash and get people talking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
