I hate it when I post the question in the title. I never know what to say for the rest of the post.
What's the usual gap between new singles and albums?

with U2, usually about 2 months lately.
discotheque was released 2 months before pop, and beautiful day was released a little under 2 months before atyclb. i suspect the same with this album, because obviously with how long it has been since U2 was in the spotlight, they're definitely going to want to have the time to build the hype up for their new album.

Yeah, that's mostly correct. The Fly came out in late September and Achtung Baby came out in mid November, so not quite two months. And you're right on with Discotheque and B-Day. Maybe we'll get a leak like we did with Electrical Storm....hmmm

Numb was released as a video single. I don't know when it was released exactly. But the situation with Zooropa isn't representative, since that album came together so quickly. The discography at http://www.u2wanderer.org says the video was released in June 1993. So that would make the first airing at the track (and I have it still on video when they first showed the video on MTV) a few weeks earlier, meaning mid-May or early June. Which is again close to 2 months. 
As the others have said, the period between releasing the first single and the actual album is usually around 2 months. That way the single can gain momentum, so the album will be released when the single is around its maximum exposure.
C ya!

So we can look for a single in late August/early September.
Possibly. If everyone over in Dublin isn't full of shit.

Time is different on planet U2. Paul keeps trying to arrange it correctly but Bono and company refuses to learn earth time.
