Spock 20,290 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The release of Rihanna's highly anticipated eighth studio album, ANTI, has hit a few snags as the singer and her Roc Nation label/management company try to determine the best way to roll out the album. Last month, reports surfaced that ANTI was due Nov. 6, which a source debunked to Billboard, and with Justin Bieber's Purpose and One Direction's Made in the A.M. both arriving Nov. 13 and Adele's 25 hitting stores Nov. 20, ANTI now looks like it will be released in December, with a rumored surprise release likely. And while it still hasn't been confirmed -- a source told Billboard last week that it's in the works, though it hasn't yet been finalized -- Rihanna is reportedly lining up her own Samsung deal to the tune of $25 million for her album and subsequent world tour, which has apparently been held up due to changes to the final LP. There are streaming questions as well; Rihanna was one of the 16 artists announced as a co-owner of TIDAL, while Samsung has its own streaming service, Milk Music. http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6752920/rihanna-anti-album-december-release-date who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas presents. I agree that it likely wouldn't have huge opening sales, but not for that reason. But a surprise digital release probably wouldn't receive that benefit. It obviously didn't hurt Beyonce but that's a very different situation to this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryhanna 3,507 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Good lord. The number of people who even care anymore is dropping each and every day. Just release tomorrow and be done with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yes I would buy it because I'm looking forward to it. Beyonce sold over 800k copies of an album that costed more than usual (because of the videos) in three days in the middle of December.
