JC's single (and album) pushed back *again*???

[foxmonkey]

Haven't seen this on my friends list yet, and I almost hate to post it. Yes, once again diving into the JJB so you don't have to. Not so happy news, unfortunately. PopCultMistress has been realiable in the past with inside info, though. Hope her sources wrong this time. :-(

Under the subject header I Thought JC's First Single Would Have Leaked By Now, dated today:

"I just tried to get it off a friend at MTV but no one is giving up any news. EDIT: She just got back to me and said its been pushed back as well as the album but no one knows the release date. Take from that what you will."

And a little later she posted this...

"She said the single pushed back from August 11 to don't know when. They have no plans to put it on MTV at the moment. She runs the daily content for TRL. She would know. Honestly she would."

Friggin' oy.

Which gambit? I'm a relative latecomer.

I really don't have a clue what is going on in Jive's heads. And it's the damn seesaw that gets me. There was the rumor of the VMAs and SNL, which made me really optimistic because they would mean Jive was really getting behind the album. And then now we get the rumor that the single release has been yanked, with no new date. The last bit being what is freaking me out, if they had moved it a week or whatever I'd be irritated, but now we have *no* date, and release dates are usually scheduled a month or more ahead.

Guess I should really call it a gambit, unless they're doing it on purpose this time.

When NSync sued to be rid of Lou, their next album was caught in limbo. They couldn't release it for legal reasons (that someone with better details than I've got can give you) - I think it involved ownership and how Lou was involved in the contracts and stuff. Anyway.

Because the album was held up in court, anticipation was *huge*. NSync won the lawsuit and the album could finally be released, and the rest really *is* history. Biggest first week sales ever by anyone.

I sincerely hope the JIVE ass-hats aren't doing it intentionally this time.

Can't edit comments! I'd pay extra to be able to edit my comments!!!

Anyway. That should have been:
