If they think that they can promote the album only via stupid tweets and hashtags, it won't work..
I feel the best promo was when athletes tweeted and right before Belee Me was released.. After that it just seems like they completely forgot about the album..
We really need a single Wayne. A real single, with a video, promo and performances so it will actually chart. Look at C4 era, Wayne has so much power, he can make a hit so easily while other have to put way more effort in, why does he keep acting so fucking lazy? The tour was great promotion but it's all in his comfort zone. If you will compare his C5 sales to other rap/pop stars, they will still be good since they will still probably be around 400k-500k but for Wayne that is just dissapointing, knowing the opening sales of C3 and C4.
It's not too late if he comes through with a 'She Will' or 'Bitches Love Me' now and does some actual promo for the album but I really don't know... It just annoys me like, if you're so confident and proud about this album, wouldn't you want to the best for it you can? (like Drake did with NWTS and Nicki now does with The Pinkprint)
He is also missing so many great opportunities to perform. He could've performed at the VMAs, and the upcoming AMAs and EMAs would be great promo. And just regular (late-night/talk)shows.
Don't be hating on me for this, as a fan I just have his best interest and I really want this album to do good, both at critics, his audience and sales.

Indeed. Wayne doesn't even seem excited about it imo. I don't say he isn't but there is nothing that confirms that to us fans.

What about a pre-order by the way. Most albums have a pre-order 3 weeks before the album release but I really don't see Tez pulling that out anytime soon.
