In reply to ben.

Not all albums get released that way, and it would have made more sense to focus on a US release and then try and schedule the international release date a week later. The point is she is going to make more money off of a US release than anywhere else so that should have taken priority. @Rihboy is right tho, these excuses are lame af and as @Ben stated some of the songs off of the album were leaked prior to the release in Germany (making my statement partially true). We'll see how it goes next week.
