That does seem to be deeply weird. Why spend the time and effort to only kind of wrap it up? Or may be he's still so caught up in the old model that after doing the TV shows and dropping the record, he's stuck on what to do next.

I think it would be easier if he was getting regular radio airplay because that type of situation has its own momentum. Or maybe he's just happy with getting paid and is already off to the next thing. To be fair it's not just him. It seems more and more rare that a label will actually take the marathon promotion approach. It's all about the first week and damn anything after that. Which is weird because some artists do benefit from the slow build.
