I understand the need for this for 2014 releases, as the site needs to make sure the album is not actually an officially unreleased yet leak. But before? Come on. |
This is part of a wider project to allow new and forthcoming releases to be highlighted, but also to provide other functionality such as sorting an artist's discography by date of release, highlight album anniversaries, provide more general stats etc. Related threads for this idea: http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...php?t=7906 & http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...php?t=6495
Obviously, it is bound to take time to back-populate the data for existing albums, which is why albums are being unlocked in small batches, but there's no huge rush to populate everything and it will probably take several months to complete.
