Is it true that there's a song about Taylor in his album? A line, at least: *groan*

^I think they moved it so the winners/performers would get a full week of sales. And then they changed the chart week from Friday-Thursday. So wouldn't it have made more sense to have the show on a Thursday night?

Wait a minute, I may be dumb but...HDD is predicting this but the album isn't even on sale yet? HITS and Billboard occasionally have these articles. The first one I remember is for Daft Punk's last album They said 330,000. I said "WHAT!" They had ones for Drake/Future (500k) and Dre's Compton (300) last year. They get the numbers from pre-orders and shipment figures (when there is a physcial product). Some come from the New Release Schedule which I used to receive.

So their predictions are close to the real numbers, right?

^Nope. Sometimes they are off.
We got 275k for Kanye.
Don't be surprised if it's 200-225k.

I hope SNL got a backup plan in case Kanye doesn't work even show up.

I'm surprised there hasn't been clamoring for All Day to make it to the album; I imagine those 2 features that aren't McCartney would want that exposure on such a hyped album.

Do we still think the # will be 275K when it does get released? Negative publicity might drive the number down a bit

So "industry people" haven't forecasted this yet under these new circumstances? Not going to be a big success, is it?

Delayed a week? hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=299710Monday, February 15, 2016 KANYE'S TIDAL WAVE (SECOND UPDATE)As expected, Kanye West delivered his new G.O.O.D./Def Jam album exclusively to Tidal for streaming right after his Saturday Night Live performance. Yeezy also put The Life of deleted on sale exclusively from KanyeWest.com on what was to be its first week of release. But in a quintessentially Kanye move, West tweeted Sunday morning that heβd given the exclusive to Tidal for another week before making it available to other outlets, apparently including his own. Given the firestorm of fan complaints and reported malfunctions in the hours following the "release," it's unclear at this point whether anyone at any point was actually able to buy the album. Those who enter the site will encounter not a "buy" button but an interminable message/rap from one Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def. Truly Bizarre. So was a Saturday tweet in which he claimed to be $53m in debt. Will Kanye later deliver music to iTunes, Amazon and other e-tailers, or will he use Jay Zβs superstar-owned platform for sales as well? Will he limit Tidalβs streaming exclusive to a week or two? What about physical? Is the windowed streaming and sales exclusive on the Rihanna record the model here? So many questions...

How the hell is Kanye West of all people $53m in debt? He's had several multiplatinum albums, he's married to freaking Kim Kardashian, and he's been doing concerts and selling merchandise for a long time. Where did all that money go? Jeez, this album better go double diamond if he's THAT far gone.

Kanye just confirmed his album will never be released on iTunes Oh jesus christ, this rollout is an absolute disaster. First he pulls it from Tidal because he's still working on it, then everything including his website gets screwed up, and now this. Is he trying to make this album flop?
