It sounds as if More Joy and Anniversary are going to be released soon. Another one mid September with a final maybe a week before album, would make it 5 songs released. I could see it working.

I don’t see that .. 3 songs top… big artists don’t even release 5 songs .. the weekend Dua lipa exception… I know times have changed and Duran even in early 80s never released more than 3 songs .. tops 4 when they were hot! I hope I’m wrong but Legacy acts don’t normally do this ? Perhaps BMG knows something I don’t ?

The bleachers album just released had 5 tracks released before the actual album.

It’s not how the music biz works these days. They realize songs as previews to hype the album…plain and simple. BTW…I’m all for Jack producing at least one song for Duran, if not an entire album. Listen to “Like a River Runs” off of Bleachers album “Strange Desire”…one of the best non-80’s “80’s track” ever…EVER.

When did Duran start "dropping" singles & albums? I always thought Duran "released" new singles and albums?

They're still technically singles, just not marketed the same way they were 10+ years ago. I've noticed some other fans try to discredit "More Joy" as not a single, when in fact a song dropping on its own before an album release is just that. Highly recommend reading this article on the function of singles in the "digital age". diymusician.cdbaby.com/releasing-music/what-is-a-single/Hopefully it helps anyone who's confused or concerned about the multiple single drops.

Strange Desire is definitely the best Bleachers' album and it is a fantastic record! very very interesting should Jack Antonoff work with DD one day, he has also worked with Janelle Monae (with his band Fun) on a great song called "We Are Young".
