According to Amazon, Ancient Land is coming out on October 26. I doubt that will be the case because of editing and such, but you never know! :)

looks like the digital download edition is going to be released an Sep 28. It's 16 tracks (missing The Enchanted Way and Ballroom Of Romance, which seem to be CD-only)

Wow! That seems odd they'd release the digital download edition almost a month before the physical CD. They'd want to consolidate sales for the opening on the charts, would they not?

I wonder if that means they'll release it on Spotify this month too.

iTunes also has it available September 28th and I just pre-ordered! I think I'll be waking up pretty early on my birthday to listen! Same as Amazon with the first 16 tracks. I wonder if The Enchanted Way and Ballroom of Romance are Target exclusives then or if they'll be on all versions of the CD? Either way, I'll also be buying the physical CD to get those two songs. So excited that it's now only six days until getting to listen to the new music again instead of five weeks!

Out of curiosity, earlier this week I was looking up information about how to qualify for a Grammy nomination. I found that for the 2019 Grammys, the album would have to be released between Oct 1, 2017 and Sept 30, 2018. So then I was thinking Ancient Land could be submitted for the 2020 Grammys. Now that we've found the digital release date, I looked again. Digital releases do qualify for submission. So Ancient Land could potentially be in Grammy consideration for the upcoming awards! From attending the DVD filming, it is most definitely a Grammy-caliber album!!

On a related note, I think digital album sales count in the Billboard music charts (including the World Albums chart). I'm not entirely sure about that.

Either way though, the decision to do a split release is kind of a big deal.

The sales are going to be a divided between people getting the album as soon as it releases on digital platforms and a later surge of sales coming when the CD releases October 26. The two releases are essentially going to cannibalize each other (assuming most people won't get both the digital and physical CDs), resulting in a lower peak debut but a slightly more prolonged peak.

That said, even if they consolidated the sales with a simultaneous release of the CD and on digital platforms, I think a #1 debut is probably unrealistic at this point (and I think Celtic Woman probably knows it). BTS just has too many fans. It has the popularity of a mainstream pop album but is tracked on the World Albums chart. It's owning the World Music charts like Celtic Woman used to. Ancient Land's chances of cracking the top spot are significantly lower by having separate release surges though. That's really a shame because Ancient Land is going to be an AMAZING album!

It will be interesting to see how the digital sales do since the only date Celtic Woman has announced is the physical CD release. I wonder how many people have found that the digital release is this week?

Oh no... I hope they don't delete it from the US iTunes... They haven't yet... but now I'm worried.

I think it will release in North America overnight tonight as scheduled. There are just different release requirements and restrictions elsewhere.
