Pre-order an album - release time

I've pre-ordered an album, the release date is 20th April. At what time will this download become available? One minute past midnight on the 20th?
I'm looking forward to the album so much I might stay up and wait for it. (Sad, I know.)

  • Pre-Ordering and album with already-released single

    I'm wondering if I pre-order an album, do I get the already released single right away?
    I've noticed times where I've downloaded the single, then purchased the album after release without the "complete my album" option.  It seems sometimes the singles are flagged as their own album, or can't complete a deluxe edition, etc.
    I'd hate to have to pay for a single song twice.  Any insight from regular iTunes users?
    Thanks!

    Pre-order items from the iTunes Store
    If an item isn’t yet available, you may be able to pre-order and then download it when it becomes available.
    Pre-order an item: Click the Pre-order button next to the item. When the item is available for download, you receive an email notice. You aren’t charged for the item until you download it.
    Download a pre-ordered item: Click the link in the email notice or open iTunes and choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    View, cancel, or see the expected release dates for pending pre-orders: Choose Store > View My Apple ID, and click Manage Pre-orders.
    When you pre-order an item, you may not be able to download it at the exact moment it becomes available for regular purchase. You’ll receive an email the same day it becomes available to let you know when you can download the item.
    Some albums or collections you can pre-order include a song that’s available to download immediately. When you pre-order these items, the available song is downloaded and you’re charged only for that song. When you download the rest of the album (after you’re notified it’s available), you’re charged for the rest.

  • HT5714 Will I be charged extra for pre-ordering an album that has already released a few songs?

    I pre-ordered an album for $18, and the album already had a few songs released on it. It seems that I received these songs instantly, but I also paid for them separately, which as most know, is more expensive than buying a full album. Does this mean that an additional $18 will be deducted from my account even though I've already paid for those separate few songs, and will I be charged for each song that releases up till the release date of the album? 
    I just thought I was paying $18, but now it looks like I'm paying more.
    Thanks for your help!

    It's so funny you mentioned this, I'm currently having the same problem with the same album. I actually just finished sending iTunes an email about it (supposed to get back to me within 24 hours) and then found this article. I would suggest you do the same, but if you don't I'll try to remember to post back what I hear from them. I've always had great support for the odd thing that didn't work properly (like a glitch in a TV show or something) so I'm sure they'll clear this up without a problem. I asked the same thing too though, about what price I actually get charged, so hopefully I'll also get a response to that too. But yes, according to most pre-order rules in other stores, it should be the price we pre-ordered it for. Oh and yes I've checked for available downloads from the iTunes Store menu, but it just told me everything has been downloaded already. I double-checked my library to be sure it hadn't downloaded in the background but it was definitely not there. It has not downloaded yet.

  • I recently pre ordered an album and it was released today but it says I have to pay even though I already have

    I pre ordered an album maybe a month ago, and it just came out today. They released some of the songs before hand and I have all 5 of those on my phone. But today when the whole album was released it didn't download to my phone. I went and checked the ITunes store and it said i never bought it even though it did. HELP ME!!

    Yeah it happened I me too! I thought that I was the only one. I need the 5sos album like now

    Hi. I pre ordered an album from iTunes using my iPhone 4S. Once released I received an email with a download link. I followed the link from the email which took me to iTunes Store. There I found the album & all tracks shown as purchased but with no apparent way of downloading. When I check for items to download, it isn't there. When I check purchased items purchased, it isn't there either. It only appears when I tap the album cover from the front page & then only as purchased.

    Hello 28mexiworth
    Check your Music app to see if it already downloaded. You can also check iTunes on your computer to Check for a available downloads. If you are still not able to get it, then report the issue to iTunes.

  • Do I get the single when I pre-order an album?

    I've pre-ordered Random Access Memories by Daft Punk, but I notice that the single isn't available for download from the album. Every other time I've pre-ordered an album off iTunes it's given me the single to download first. This isn't an option it seems, I can only get Get Lucky from the single version, and I'm not wild about paying for it twice. Anyone know why it's like this or will it become available soon? Thanks!

    If a track is released from the EP before the actual EP is released then you will be charged the tracks's full price i.e. 1.29 - when the actual EP is released you will be charged 2.70 (3.99 minus the 1.29). If 2 tracks are released before the EP you will be charged 1.29 for each of the two tracks, then 1.41 for the EP

  • Pre-ordering an album?!? Quick question?

    I plan on pre-ordering an album. But I do know that you get an album for a discount if you purchase singles from it. I've purchased two already. My question is can I pre-order the album at a discount? And if so, how? Thanks.

    Only when it's released - some pre-orders have tracks which are released before the actual album, which will download as they are released, but the rest of the album you will only be able to hear and download when it's released

  • I pre ordered an album, it says I purchased it and it's still not downloading

    I recently pre ordered an album, it says I purchased it but still won't download, I don't know why this is happening and it's aggravating. Somebody please help me

    When you pre order an album you don't get the album until it's released to the masses. Look at the album and iTunes it should say when you can download the album with it's release. I hate giving bad news but at least nothings wrong with your account

  • How can I pre-order an album but send it as a gift?

    I would like to send someone an album as a gift that is due for release May 11. When I pre-order the album (Letting Go by Jennifer Knapp), I don't see an option for sending it as a gift. Is this possible, and what are the steps? Thanks!

    Sorry, but to the best of my knowledge, it's not possible to gift a pre-order.

  • Pre-ordering an album.

  • Why did i pre order an album weeks ago for it not to download it !!!

    Why did I pre-order this album so I can hear it as soon as it came out but I'm all over apple trying to figure out why the heck it won't download!!!! Thats completely asinine and I'm highly upset it, if this problem isn't fixed by morning further action will be taken. This phone cost to much to have any petty flaws, like really why couldn't I have just waited until i woke up the next morning to buy it if this was going to be such a Hassle. This is a conundrum and i don't appreciate having to wait all this time to listen to an album I purchased weeks ago. This is a flaws you all should have fixed LONG AGO ! -.-

    I feel your pain but there's no-one here from Apple to hear this.  It's a user-to-user forum.
    See if the "More LIke This" posts offer any help
