Gaining attention for their worldwide comeback, Girls’ Generation will release their album in the U.S. through the world leading Universal Music Group.
Revealed by Girls’ Generation’s company on the 12th, Girls’ Generation will release a maxi single, “The Boys”, in November through Interscope Records, a label under Universal Music Group whose current artists include Lady Gaga, Eminem, and the Black Eyed Peas.
Together with Universal Music Group, “The Boys” will be released not only in the U.S., but in Europe, South America, and all over the world.
To further strengthen the marketing of their worldwide release, Girls’ Generation altered their schedule and have finalized it to release “The Boys” on the 19th. On October 19th, “The Boys” will be released on iTunes all over the world. The music video for “The Boys” will also premiere on the 19th on SM’s official YouTube channel and Facebook page and their 3rd album will be released in Korea on the 19th as well, expecting it to be a so-called “Girls’ Generation day”.
Meanwhile, to kick off their activities for the worldwide release of “The Boys” on the 19th, Girls’ Generation will make their comeback on KBS Music Bank on October 21st.

it will be so awsome to just walk in to like walmart or best buy and have the girls new album in my hand
Right Now is Global Generation! Hwaiting!!!♥
I saw on another website where they showed this tin-metal packaging–it was very retro cool. I’m guessing that it’s some special package, but it indicated that you get the CD, 10 post cards, a booklet, and 2 posters. It looked pretty cool.
OMG! it is finally goin to be released, it is the album ‘The Boys’! It will definitely be awesome xD! I’m so looking forward to it. I bet i’m not the only anticipating their comeback right? Only about a week left! Yay……..!
SNSD HWAITING!
with all this anticipation and excitement, i can’t imagine not liking this album.
i hope it makes a huge impact on the music industry all over the world..
but there is this part of me that doesn’t want them to get too big worldwide. i like them the way they are now. sudden increase of popularity might change a lot.
and i don’t like being a helpless fan of idols well-known by everyone. :p
Finally Finally.
In All the world All SONE’s
Definitely the Girls’ Generation Day =)

This article is actually quite confusing on the details. Will the full album be available in the US as a physical copy, or is it just the maxi single? And is this maxi single an english version or the same?
I have to agree; I’ve read the article about a hundred times and I’m still finding it difficult to understand ><
But from what I understand, only the maxi single will be released as a physical copy in the US (so not the full album) sometime during November since they've only made an English version of their title song 'The Boys'. But I think the single will first be released via iTunes on the 19th of October.
So basically:
October 19th releases: English version of The Boys via iTunes, MV, Korean full album
Sometime during November: Maxi single to be released in US (and other countries) as a physical copy
The details in the original source article didn’t really make things perfectly clear, but based on some new info posted on SMTOWN’s Facebook, it seems as if the full album will NOT be available in the US as a physical copy, and the whole “worldwide release” thing refers to making the full album available on iTunes around the world, since you see different things on iTunes depending on what part of the world you’re in.
There’s no info on whether or not the maxi single will be an English-only version or not, but it appears as if the maxi single will be a physical release exclusive to the US, and the physical copy of the full album will be exclusive to Korea. Again, this is based off of the way things have been worded on SMTOWN’s own Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/notes/smtown/girls-generation-will-release-the-single-album-in-the-us-through-interscope-reco/260797167296458
Yayayayayayayayay! Can’t wait! ><"
Right now it's So Nyuh Shi Dae! ^^ Hwaiting!♥
