Are there that many large acts releasing new stuff on a weekly basis right now?

Well we don’t know where the album is in the process either. We know they are done recording, but maybe it’s only in the mixing phase which could take a couple weeks with the master. Then to get the #1 they’ll need to produce the units to sell, commission the album art, THEN have some number of weeks to hype. I think it could still take some time before we officially hear about it.
