Why do CD's and DVD's drop ship into stores on Tuesdays?

Asked by SpatzieLover (24609points) November 17th, 2009

This is something I’ve wondered about for some time…

Why do the majority of CD’s & DVD’s get released on Tuesdays?

How did this become the “rule” of the industry?

Thanks for your insights in advance!

It depends on when they count sales. In the UK they count sales on a Saturday night so they release them on Monday so there is the maximum selling time before they count up for the charts giving it a better chance of ,making number one.
