I guess it's just another stab and nothing will happen eventually, but the fact that info about Adele turned out to be true makes me think some rumors might be at least partly reliable. Especially considering the fact that Rihanna herself "officially" announced an album (soon, lol), presented an artwork (which is obvious - and confirmed - to take a long and make very laborious job), threw some single-meaning hints and hid away from public. Anyway, speaking about Adele... never in this world will I care about Billboard 200 or smth. (Although when Rihanna doesn't get her #1, especially looking which releases achieved #1 with which number of sales this year, when album as a format degrades heavily... it will look strange, funny, almost like there's something damned about this, so peculiar you can almost brag about it... like, Rihanna, one of the greatest, biggest and best-selling artists in history carefully avoids billboard 200 #1 during her career, let this #1 for folks) Either way, I'm sure she's good around, and I doubt Adele will pull off another 21, tho I do think she will be successful. But the momentum bothers me. I'm sure Rih wanted to create something very special, to celebrate her new way on her own label, etc. That she would love her album to be appreciated. And when she releases, if all the media & public attention goes to Adele, it will be so vexing. Of course, if Rih has a plan to hype things up and bring the interest and attention back (as she did with artwork launch), "Anti" will reach all possible demographic it could reach (due to its sound). Otherwise, if she lets it flow on its own, it will possibly become just another "fans' album", retiring artists' business. Even if it's hella good, it won't be remembered, worse, it will be remembered as another "album just for fans from expiring artist", it won't be accepted as it deserves, it won't change anything. And I want some change. I'm fed up of some mainstream tendencies. I miss Rih as an artist so bad. I want her back.
