Rihanna seems likely tbh.

 

But I think because I’m desperate for new music from her I’m finding ways to make all clues fit to it being her.

 

But I will say this

 

Summer is good timing for reggae music which is what Rihanna’s album is.

 

August 23rd will see Taylor releasing so if it’s an album drop releasing two weeks before means hopefully easy #1 (Taylor’s huge isn’t

she for first week US sales so makes sense she may wanna release earlier).

If Adele is also releasing she may wanna release before Adele who’s likely to be Q4. ANTI was pushed back bc of Adele wasn’t it.

 

The TV takeover Rihanna would definitely be big enough to do to command audiences on all major shows. Hype would be huge but she needs some big promo and this would certainly be it!!

 

Even if it’s just a single drop what a way to comeback for her if it is her.

 

I’ve always strongly felt though that when the albums done she’s not gonna hang around and she’s just gonna drop the entire album. Probably get the physical CD a few weeks later but up for streaming and iTunes download right away.

December release apparently

December release apparently

It seems so. This was reported by multiple French journalists who attended to the Open Session held by Universal Music France today.

If Adele’s really releasing in November this won’t be going to #1 or at least not debuting there.

 

Coldplay couldn’t hold her off #1 here when 25 come out so I don’t feel Rihanna would although it could do a Loud and go to #1 the following year.

does Rihanna care about chart positions? she did all the Tidal mess last time...

She pushed ANTI back though didn’t she so it didn’t clash with 25?

 

Although that was a big US #1 album which kinda overshadows it’s more modest performance in the UK (#7 peak).

 

I don’t think it’ll be as messy this time around. Her streaming sales should be higher too I wouldn’t be shocked this time if her streaming sales alone were more than what ANTI did first week in the UK.

 

December release however would mean better sales regardless of where it peaks.

> we gotta wait for music

> no superbowl performance planned as of yet

> o

i hate her so much GIVE ME A SONG ANYTHING GOD omg

also i think she's better than the Super Bowl at this point pls dont do it

Ugh I hate her.

 

But I'm happy for her she's successful in other areas she's so passionate about.

I love the way she said I’ve still got an album to finish :lol:

Omg what is she doing

The Pop Hub and Music News Fact on Twitter are saying the album has funds of approx $50M according to HDD

 

Does this mean that’s what it’s cost to make?

I think that includes budget for music videos, promotion, production and anything really

Oh I see!

 

I’m still so eager and ready for new music!

 

I’m feeling like Grammys and BRITs feel likely for promo.

 

Kinda beginning to feel as though this is gonna be coming in either January or February 2020 though.

 

 

Rumour has it that she is gonna be doing a dual album release. One reggae and one inspired by her evolution! FUCK YES!

Is this double disc or like two totally seperate albums like sweetener and thank u, next where they’ll chart separately

 

If that rumour is true I think I’ll probably prefer the evolution one but it’s hard to predict. I’ve always liked reggae like Rihanna but I don’t know how I’d feel of like a full album of tracks like Man Down, No Love Allowed.

Twitter seems to think that the album title is Balance judging off her latest insta post. I like it as a title but could just be her talking about the balance of all her projects she has going on rather than referring to the album :lol:

There’s only one Friday left in 2019 Rihanna promised us way back at start of year this was coming in 2019.

 

She’s also teased she’s listening to the album? I feel it’s coming soon (but tbh I’ve said this so many y times in this thread :lol: ). A surprise release on fri 27th? That way escaping the Xmas market and avoiding getting lost in it with the physical release coming the second Friday in January? Guess we will see.

 

The only real thing I’ve always thought would happen this era is that we would get a surprise drop and not a campaign with a lead single (or multiple singles / promo singles) and then album release weeks later. She’s gonna drop the whole thing then let us decide what the singles will be.
