Meanwhile, it appears that Roc Nation has finally settled on a strategy for the rollout of the upcoming album by management client and Westbury Road/Roc Nation artist Rihanna. The rumored Samsung tie-in was confirmed during the Samsung-sponsored AMAs Sunday night, followed by a tour announcement Monday morning. The smart money is on a 12/4 wide release of ANTI (possibly preceded by a window of exclusivity for Samsung and/or Tidal), with a ticket bundle likely in place to boost the first-week number. The AMAs, it should be noted, were down again this year, and once again failed to move the needle for any of those who performed.
Omg there is still hope for it not being exclusive. **** off TIDAL
