If you’ve been in the music business for any length of time you know that for a great long while now Tuesday has always been the day that record labels would release their new music.

According to the report, it’s to prevent piracy. Right now, each country has it’s own release day, which means that if an album is released in Australia on Friday, or the UK on Monday, the recording is already copied and spread online by the time the Tuesday release rolls around in the United States.
