If the album comes out in October, they didn't register working titles in late August.

There's been a lot of chatter about the song titles which may or may not be real.

For all we know, they were registered by someone based on the chatter that originated here.
Someone registers track names with ISWC code numbers just for fun at three official rights-societies. Hard to believe, MelBelli.

In December 2015, they certainly did and not just the tracks that ended up on BLUE AND LONESOME. The song titles registered are real enough. There should be a few more registered in coming weeks. Let's hope the album has a couple cover versions and really isn't just 11 tracks.

Like Wild Horses, Beast of Burden, Under my Thumb etc?

One of the reasons we should be cautious about the ASCAP list is that, at least as recently as 2020, the Stones used BMI to license their music.

Or...maybe they really did decide to do a Beatles cover ala I Wanna Be Your Man with Paul on bass...or Come Together which they performed at Desert Trip...

Beatles covers on a Stones album? Surely you jest.

I would love to meet the person(s) that registers the International Standard Musical Work Codes and ask them, why sets of two codes when you can just have one?

The Beatleheads are still living off of a over from 60 years ago.”look how great we are the Stones did a cover”
I’ve seen McCartney bring it up a few times.
I’m a big Chuck Berry fan, maybe I should keep talking about all of the Berry they did-I’ll mention it over and over and over.

[Has Dylan ever covered the Beatles?

So there’s no way for an artist to conceal track titles until they’re ready for them to go public? When Taylor Swift or Kendrick Lamar announce new albums, their fans already have an idea of which songs are going to be on them? I am not being sarcastic; I’m genuinely curious.

It probably depends how close to the release date the paperwork is filed. In the past the Stones have registered a song more than once because the title changed slightly prior to release. The same happens with the Writers Guild with screenplays or the copyright office with feature films. We're just largely out of time for them to do that this time. I can't imagine people other than us care about song titles enough for it to matter, to be honest.

Thanks.
I will cop to 1) being a crazy person and 2) being a crazy person who finds the new song titles to be unusually and alarmingly dull.
But set that aside!
What I’m more curious about is the apparent fact that, in this day and age, artists don’t truly have the power to surprise their audience. What I mean is, in the recent past, it was not uncommon for an artist to drop a surprise new single or even a full-length album.
The fact that ASCAP is a publicly viewable online database would seem to render that impossible.
Or has this always been the case? That these “surprise releases” have always been discoverable — and most fans and music writers have just been too lazy about snooping or sussing them out?
