I don't think any Hive has been saying she caused a global release date, and it could've been in the works prior to her album. They're saying she caused them to choose Friday as the new day, which didn't multiple credible sources state her album had a hand in doing? So it's not like they're making it up. If those same sources claimed a Britney, Katy, etc album played a role in deciding the day then their respective fanbases would be posting "_____ CHANGED THE INDUSTRY!!" too.
