Teletubby 150,302 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Nicki Minaj announced that she will not drop her upcoming studio album Pink Friday 2 on her rescheduled date as planned. Minaj went live on Instagram and explained that she made the decision to push the release date awhile ago due to shipping issues for the vinyl copies of her album. “We ended up not being able to get the vinyls in time for first week, and they were actually available for December 1st, the following week,” Minaj explained. “So, I chose between December 1st and my birthday, and I chose my birthday.” Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2 will now arrive on her birthday, December 8. The project was originally set to drop on October 20 but she pushed the album back when she announced the album title over the summer. She set the new date for November 17, which is also the same day that Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz are dropping their joint album Welcome 2 ColleGrove. Minaj emphasized that she made her decision to move her album back before Wayne and 2 Chainz announced their album. source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,897 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Ed Sheeran once said that there are only 3 factories producing vinyl in the world. I really think what with the demand for vinyl in the age of revitalised vinyl, the sheer volume of artists requesting it and the amount of times that vinyls haven't been shipped in time that there needs to be at least one more factory made and make it close to major labels HQ. Vinyl delays are probably the second most frequent reason for why albums are getting pushed back right now and something needs to change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are vinyls in demand now, but there's been a huge shortage of PVC to make them over the past few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that being an issue in 2021 because of COVID and they were trying to get ABBA, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Adele and Taylor Swift's vinyls just in time so no wonder they had too much going on, especially at such a bad time during the pandemic.

Plus the people primarily affected were smaller acts & indie acts - the ones who basically survive off of physical album sales. Taylor, Ed, Adele etc were able to buy their way through the queue, pump out ridiculous numbers of vinyl copies & this made the backlog far worse for the little folks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
