HDD didn't say ''surprise release to happen in a week time'', but ''surprise release to happen next week'', so we still have time.
Even if I wouldn't get my hopes up

about a possible surprise release next week
There was no guarantee that it would happen. If it doesn't happen Friday, it probably won't happen. The other option is the label caught wind everyone was anticipating something this week and delayed it until next week after we all give up on it and write it off.
WE LOVE SURPRISES. WE ALSO HATE SURPRISES: The biz is buzzing about a possible surprise release next week, with a couple of superstar acts the primary focus of the speculation. If somebody is indeed "pulling a Beyoncé," as it's come to be known, who might it be? (5/29p)
I think most people overlooked the word "possible". I have brought it up a few times in the past as have others. There was never a guarantee it would happen. Soundfiends probably helped to over hype things with the claim it was Rihanna.
