I sure thought new albums came out on Tuesday when I was in high school and college, around the turn of the millennium. Am I misremembering that or did it change at some point?

You're absolutely correct that albums used to be released on Tuesdays in the US. This changed in 2015 when Global Release Day was created.

You learn something new everyday (it's me, I'm learning something new).
