It would certainly be an interesting project to compare charting and release dates for the NME chart.

A spreadsheet listing this would be good, which could then be analysed. I guess the Britburn spreadsheet would be a good starting point, and the release dates could then be added in... quite a task, I know! I'd help out if anyone else had a go. Covering the NME chart era would probably be a good start, as that's the era of more interest to us.

I wonder when the industry moved away from monthly new releases, or was it a gradual thing?

When I was following the charts in the late 90s and early 2000s, it was the norm for new singles to be released every Monday, and appear in that Sunday's chart countdown. By that point, it was the norm for singles to peak in their first week of release.
