Everyone's scared of Adele. Even 1D changed their date because of her and we all know she'll be #1 for like 3 months. The move makes total sense.
Release a lead single in January and then the album in March.
But this is all HDD's speculation. It's not like we ever had a confirmed date and then it got pushed back. Besides, she did give us new music throughout 2015 (and collabs in 2013/14), so the wait is not that brutal.
Rihanna is really PISSing me off... She had all that time to release the album but didn't and now she wants to scramble. Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!!!
According to members of her team, one of the major stumbling blocks to Samsung’s planned giveaway of Rihanna’s forthcoming album, ANTI—as part of the highly publicized $25m deal with the tech giant—is how to make it count on the charts.
