Because we all know better 

 

there is no way her label would let her release an album without a month or two of preorders. I even think single/preorder in September and album in October seems unrealistic. Single/preorder in September and then album in November is really the only option I see left for this year. (Hoping I’m wrong tho!)

no 

 

If lana was an independent artist, the album would probably be out already, but she is signed to a label and they care first and foremost about profits/stats. She constantly breaks first week records and the label is absolutely not going to do anything that risks that. 
 

When she did that livestream talking about wanting to surprise drop like The Weeknd, she said in the very same breath (something along the lines of) “I’d never be allowed to do that”

Album out 5 or 6 weeks after preorder / lead single / official announcement has been done a lot this passed year, including Billie and Finneas, who are both signed to Interscope as well. So, an October release is still possible, but it’d have to be announced like in the next weeks. 
If by September 10th, we heard nothing, I won’t get my hopes up for a 2024 release, tbh.

It’s a route that almost no one is taking these days, including Beyoncé or Taylor, who both did it in the past. 
Plus Lana is a big vinyl seller: to miss on these sales and numbers on week 1, I’d be the first surprised by it. The only way I see a digital release before a physical one would be for an album Interscope doesn’t bet on for big numbers, like an audiobook (who wouldn’t even go through the usual streaming platforms) or a cover album.

True, but last week, both Finneas and Shawn Mendes announced albums with a vinyl preorder for October releases. I’d be very surprised if she announced the album let’s say next week for a September release.

Ugh imagine how easy breezy beautiful cover girl the end of summer would be if we knew for a fact that Lasso was out September 20th

Interesting! 

 

I guess I haven’t been paying that close of attention to release schedules overall, I’m more used to the more traditional 2 or 3 month rollout.

 

I do think the shorter a prerelease the better with how people’s attention spans are, and I’m all for a month and a couple weeks prerelease

Totally agree with what you said. I also love a short prerelease, and yeah with 2024 being one of the busiest years ever for major releases, and the fact that we do move on very quickly from album to album, labels decided to have shorter prereleases so that hype doesn’t die down. 
Here’s Metacritic’s upcoming schedule of going albums so far. https://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/release-date/coming-soon/date#google_vignette 
It helps with what is realistic or not for our expectations

 and that way, Taylor won’t release some BS bonus track of her farting the demo of a TTPD song (or whatever sh*t she’s been pulling through lately) just to block Lana for going number 1 

[UltraviolentJack 2,825]

Yeah it’s very apparent it’s not coming in September if at all lmao. I’m willing to bet money Lasso is scrapped with her working on her next project already.

When LB is convinced an album is scrapped, this is when we get confirmation it’s coming
