Well apparently Rih is trying to do a surprise release and give it away but Billboard is saying no ma'am.
So its causing a delay.
According to members of her team, one of the major stumbling blocks to
Samsung?s planned giveaway of Rihanna?s forthcoming album, ANTI?as part of the highly publicized $25m deal with the tech giant?is
how to make it count on the charts. Assuming, of course, that she puts it out in Q4.
Adding further drama has been a series of date changes for the release, which had been scheduled originally for 11/20, then moved to 11/6 and now looks headed to 12/4 or 12/11. Once Adele was added to the schedule, the scramble to find a new date began?and
the plan to set up a huge sponsored giveaway became the only viable alternative to a brutal chart spanking from the British Queen of Pop.http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=298319
