Officially licensed streams of the album were made available on NPR Music and The Guardian's official web sites a week prior to its international release.[6][7]The Best Day will be issued as a double LP, single CD and as a digital download, with the first 100 U.S. LP pressings featuring an autographed poster.[8]
