I’ve definitely noticed crazier driving on Fridays (which is the day most albums are released). I think the author is confusing correlation and causation. The real reasons for increased speeding, reckless operation, distracted driving, etc. on Fridays is more likely due to payday, making plans with friends, and overall excitement for the weekend. Just 2 cents. But, sure… who doesn’t hit the accelerator a bit more when their favorite artist drops an album?
I sure thought new albums came out on Tuesday when I was in high school and college, around the turn of the millennium. Am I misremembering that or did it change at some point?
You learn something new everyday (it’s me, I’m learning something new).
You’re absolutely correct that albums used to be released on Tuesdays in the US. This changed in 2015 when Global Release Day was created. Let’s just blame Beyoncé for the traffic fatalities. 😂
