Here's the thing, though: Tyler released on a Monday, foregoing an entire weekend of potential streams and sales, which means he could have outsold Scott by A LOT in a full week. It also goes to show that with a tight rollout and fan interest, early week releases are just as viable -- perhaps even more so -- than dropping on Friday. Of course, if every artist and label agreed to go back to Tuesdays, there'd be more competition, but it also seems that they wouldn't hurt for sales and streams, as fans would have a whole week to discover new music and listen to it throughout the day, without the distractions of weekend entertainment and errands.
