I always thought it depended on other factors, such as the artist and
genre. Records that are purely pop, especially bubblegum pop, get very
hectic but very short promo lives, sometimes feels like they're promoed
one week, released the next, charted the next week and disappeared the
week after that. By contrast, 'respectable' club anthems don't seem to
get treated as proper tracks if they haven't already been around on
promos or white labels for at least a year beforehand...
I guess by that I'm accidentally implying that Faithless are nearer to
bubblegum pop than club anthems, which is completely not true. It's a
sharp logarhythmic scale... and two months for a Faithless promo to
release seems fair.
