The Killers, Kanye albums for early release
Label will try to capitalise on holiday spending
The new albums from The Killers, Kanye West and Ludacris are set to be released a day early in the US so that Island Def Jam can notch up higher sales.
The Killers' 'Day & Age', Ludacris' 'Theater Of The Mind' and Kanye West's '808s & Heartbreak' will all come out on Monday November 24, a day before the traditional release day of Tuesday.
Accoring to [url= Billboard]Billboard[/url], Island Def Jam's early release plan is an attempt to capitalise on the Thanksgiving shopping weekend. A major holiday in the US, Thanksgiving signifies the kick-off of the holiday season, and in turn holiday spending.
