do you think LG5 will leak before it's release?

[Music 15,215]

the past few years have seen some of music's biggest act's newest material leak before it's initial release.
and nowadays, the closer to the release date it gets, the more likely a record is to be leaked — and almost any artist of any level of popularity has experienced an album leak.

there is no doubt that leaks affect sales and even have affects on the artist - "I have been violated as a human and an artist!" Madonna on Rebel Heart's leak.

recently, Sia's This Is Acting and Rihanna's ANTI surfaced online, almost raising plausible discussion that future releases are under inevitable threat of leaking before it's planned release.

so, do you think Gaga's next body of work is imminent to a leak, or will the record be dealt with carefully and drop on it's penned date?

discuss below!

I hope she either surprise releases it or releases it right after the announcement, so no one can leak it.

[Sia 314]

I think a song or two will. I'm hoping the whole album won't leak or Gaga might be upset.

Both Born This Way as well as ARTPOP leaked within a weak or two before the actual release date, so I have no doubt that there's a high chance that the same thing will happen with LG5. It's almost something that's to be expected with big releases nowadays.

It probably will but very close to the release date, like what happened w/ Born This Way/ARTPOP, instead of being Rebel Heart'ed.

I HOPE NOT!!!

ARTPOP didn't really leak though, wasn't it released in Japan early and that's when we got the album in LQ cause someone ripped it with a potato?

As much as I want LG5 I hope it won't leak, seriously 

Spoiler

maybe some snippets  need new music so bad

But probably it's going leak like 12 hours before the release soooo

I REMEMBER THAT! HELP! THAT SUPER LOW QUALITY MADE MY EARS BLEED

It always does. I think the only major release that did not leak in the latest years was BEYONCÉ but that was because it was iTunes exclusive for the first weeks and it didn't have physical copies to be leaked or shipped in advance

Its realistic but she won't put it up for free on some irrelevant streaming site.

@BorisIsHere make it happen 

[ARTPOP 3,095]

I think the artist/her label leake the music. Gaga admitted that she leaked aura and I think she is the one who leaked the album. Same goes to Anti it's very obvious rihanna or her label leaked the album, common they kept tight on the tracklist even for a long time but few days before the release "oops, it leaked". She most likely did it after the " work" bad reception , so she thinks that's a way for it to be an excuse for " poor sales" and the same could be said about rebel heart. But this time I think gaga is going to keep hold on to it because it will be the album of the year and she is going to do fine

That's true also. "Leaks" are never really leaks.
