I'm still mad tbh. We waited more two years, finally got a release date, a perfect one at that, then she changes the release date for ****ing Lil Wayne... and then all she does is post "Dec 15 The Pinkprint", like nothing ever happened.
She is not glued to Wayne, I don't even know why she did that...
There might be very good reasons, we don't know what happens behind the scenes. I used to be disappointed, never been mad.
First of all, we don't know for sure if that's why. Walmart had the tea on TPP weeks ago while they were still looking for a release date for TC5 last week. And it's only pushed back for 2 weeks (because it'll probably leak a week before).
And that #1 is basically guaranteed now.

Well Birdman said it was Nicki's decision, and tbh I don't see what 3 weeks could do if it was a personal issue.
Sales are more important than peaks, imo, and she would have still outsold everyone even during the BF week, but I like that you guys are being positive.

For me it's really not about that I hate waiting, in fact, my school semester ends during that time so it's 2x the pleasure/excitement, but it's about the fact that she ANNOUNCED a perfect date, her fans were so excited about it after 2 and a half years, etc. then she changed it just like that... I hope you know what I mean...

Now, we're saying "It's going to be December before you know it."
She better put out album of the year, cause waiting for this album has been a bitch. I still remember how everyone thought during the summer that the album was gona come in September/August.
All i want right now is a pre order with a new track plus album tracklist and cover on Monday and i will survive until December 15.

No I really don't because it's only for 2 weeks. Not the end of the world. BF will be filled with new releases and massive albums like 1D and Taylor. I feel it's the best decision.

An album released 5 weeks before (Taylor's) and one released 1 week before (1D's) BF wouldn't have outsold the highly anticipated third album by the Queen of Rap Onika Tanya Maraj.
She changed her word to the fans (most likely for Wayne), and that's upsetting me the most. Plus there is literally no positive side why this album should be released in Dec 15 and not Nov 24.
And we would still have to wait 3 weeks because the album would probably leak in the Nov 17 week.
I feel like the album will be losing at least 100k sales, probably more, because of the pushback No black friday sales and 3 weeks less of holiday shopping sales but I guess it doesn't matter that much as long as the album is amazing
I'm mad about the date change for personal reason. My plan was to lock myself in my apartment, get high off my ass, and play TPP from start to finish, over and over for like two days. Now, I dont know when ill have time cuz I'll be moving apartments by then and I can't smoke weed anymore come Dec. cuz of my job.

Taylor is not selling less than 200K for weeks to come. And BF will help her the most since it's the biggest album of the year. So yes it was possibly.
Well you can feel however you want. I'm over here enjoying the Era day by day. And I'm assuming you meant Dec 17 (that's not possible if it's released on the 15th).
She's performing on SNL before the album's release now.
The performance after the album would have helped it to have more longevity.

No, I meant if the album was going to leak 1 week earlier (in Dec 8) if released in Dec 15, then it would have leaked 1 week earlier too (in Nov 17) if released in Nov 24.
Nov 17 ---> Dec 8: 3 weeks
Nov 24 ---> Dec 15: 3 weeks
------------
I can't wait to listen to the album in my last week in school. I will feel so relieved.
Still nothing trumps listening to the album on my birthday (Nov 22) though

All i can say is a mess! Her sales are definitly gona suffer big time, wish is kinda sad, considering its only a two week push back, is it really worth it? What is possible her reason for pushing back only two weeks? Like what will that help her?

Nov 17 ---> Dec 8: 3 weeks
Nov 24 ---> Dec 15: 3 weeks
I know that. I'm talking about the time between TPP original date and when it will leak now (2 weeks)

And so what. If she released the album any other time of the year, we wouldn't be thinking about BF. She'll lose out on 50-100K at the most. BF effect isn't that big.

Black Friday doesn't boost albums THAT much. Demand has to be there for it to sell. She might've lost 10-15k...maybe. But, remember she's releasing on the heels of Christmas so it evens out.
No black friday sales and 3 weeks less of holiday shopping sales
