And why does the same album have different songs in different regions?
What’s the point?
Why isn’t there just one standard world-wide album released at the same time?

The market is different in most countries. A lot of what’s popular here plays second fiddle to other countries’ mainstays. Record labels have distributors in these countries and monitor when a "good time" to release is. There may be a Big Thing going on in Germany perhaps…something made in Germany that the people are GA GA for. It would be unwise to release something with tough competition. In other countries that are more like the U.S., musically speaking, like the U.K. you’ll see the same release dates. There is more to it than just that…contracts, touring schedules, and demographics play a role too. What pisses me off is when other countries get tracks on their CDs that we don’t get…or hafta go to iTunes for.

   I don’t know why but it is really annoying because I can’t some new albums until after they release it in other countries
