Yup. Do you think they can achieve that the way they usually work? I presume being present in the media is more important then ever when prolonged chart success is in question.
It really just comes down to exposure to the music. However you do that is up to you. TV appearances, strong-performing singles, touring...all of these things can work in your favor if your new material is strong, and you don't just absolutely suck at playing Got Some in front of millions of people.
But even that was months before the record was released.

That song always suffered from intense, prolonged over-wording. Side effects may not include priapism.

I would be afraid to sit down and have a drink with the two of them because it can't possibly be as awesome as I am imagining in my head. I'd just walk away disappointed.

The answer to that question depends entirely on whether or not your last name is Gallagher.
Although the answer is 'no' either way, so I'm not totally clear on the
nature of the dependency. But that's another topic a Gallagher would probably be able to tell you a little more about.

so long as they're dressed like that, they could talk about nothing but the stock market and the art of passing kidney stones, and I'd still be having the time of my life.

Depends on what costume you would be wearing.
