    Oh shit, good point. Although to be fair, she's jumped through all kinds of legal technicality hoops with that Ticketmaster Verified Fan activation. Wouldn't be surprised if they figured out how to make it work on the backend, and per my Samsung example, UPS pays for those other two.

    Too bad it's not more transparent... this is probably the most interesting release strategy in a decade for music nerds.

    I received that UPS email with the three codes this morning.

    BSB’s reunion went pretty horribly sales wise so I’m not even sure those groups could do it (though they were larger and actually have two very relevant stars at their fronts).

    Yo if Beyonce and Jay ever release that rumored collab album the release strategy is going to be so silly.

    if you don't have 2 friends who want one and wouldn't mind sharing one when they go live, i am too poor to buy the album on friday and would be eternally grateful!
     
  6. Yeah, without getting more information on the backend of the deal we can't really know what is going on. We can guess, but I can't say for sure what counts and how.

    Whole industry is shady af. Hah, I know some small indie labels double count all the time and no one cares or stops it.
     
  7. Sharing codes in this thread would be a cool thing.

    Watch The Throne part 2? Original did 500k, with some hype and a clever / bullshit sales strategy, could do 1m maybe.

    Guns N Roses original line up reuinting maybe?

    It would also be cool if Taylor would have an option to purchase a vinyl copy right now. I probably would have bought it already whereas now I might be lukewarm on the album and not purchase it at all.

    spacing out vinyl convince people who bought CDs now because they had to to buy records in a few months
     
  13. the 3 codes are for what? downloading the album early or something?

    Lil late, but I didn't know Taylor was dating that dude. He's a decent actor with decent taste, working with Ang Lee and Yorgos Lanthimos.

    OneDirection, with all 5 members, in a couple years. All members are doing well solo (which is incredible in itself), so a reunion album would have that potential

    Vinyl also may have not been instantly available because for all we know the album could have been finished like 2 weeks ago

    True isn't Max Martin notorious for changing drum sounds up until the last minute?

    For what it's worth, we have 340 copies of the special edition at the target I work at. We are also a smaller target. I doubt it will run out.

    Only includes the released songs right now, the rest of the album will be available to download Friday.
     
  21. the Target special edition magazine things seem lame to me. i prefer more music over some articles and pictures...

    I think the magazines seem cool, especially for this cycle with zero interviews or press. I don't really know what is in them, but I would guess there are some behind the scenes photos, interviews, or something that is interesting
