Unless a single track has enough pull on its own, you can't really expect it to stay around in peoples minds for too long. That's why remixes of popular tunes usually have more mass affect than original cuts -but not always. If you have questions about the shelf life of a track, perhaps consider making it part of an EP. The goal here would be to stagger news about you and your music over time. Repetition from multiple sources is key to hype. Like blips on a radar until you find the source of the noise. As far as how I perceive an artist or track. Doesn't affect me or my listening of the track. Its just a question of 1. Will I have time to review it if it is already released. 2. How many other blogs have already posted it. You see for any news agency, relative exclusivity is a factor. Thats a great question!
