Is Pop superstar Rihanna gearing up for a major Christmas Day release?
Yes would be the answer to that question if ‘Play.com’ is anything to go by, now that they have launched a pre-order page for her eighth studio album!
Full story below…
This morning, fans of the entertainer noticed the image above on ‘Play’, seemingly teasing a Christmas Day release for the new album by offering to ship the new project on December 26th, one day after.
Though yet to upload a track list or unveil its title , the site has made the project’s deluxe edition available to pre-order for £13.98 ($21.85).
If the singer/songwriter is shooting for a December 25th release, the album would mark her first December release, with her last four albums dropping in the Novembers of their release years.
Keep it locked on TGJ for more on this developing story.

The anticipation. #14thNumberONE #R8
#NaviWaiting #SoAreTheHaters
Said the #1 hater on this site.
10 #1’s, features don’t count boo
According to Billboard they do… And you are?
Rihanna is really trying to outdo the way Beyonce released hers.
And there is the flaw in her plan. It will always be compared to beyonce.
Only difference is Beyoncé is a TRUE SANGER!! Ri-Whine-A Goatish sound is ANNOYING!!
But rihannas music is current and that will always beat “real music” like beyonces.
This is beyond tacky, I get why the new artists are doing this (i.e. Angel Haze, Azealia Banks), but an allegedly established artist shouldn’t need to copy Beyonce’s tactic to remain relevant – moreover what sane person is going to waste their time on Christmas day streaming her album instead of enjoying their time with their loved ones – if you are one those sad people (yes Navy, I’m talking to you) you need to re-evaluate your lives, if the most important thing to you on Christmas day is Rihanna’s McAlbum.
But it’s okay for Beyonce to steal from everyone? Umm okay.
i said the same thing about Thanksgiving, I believe that y beyonce released them songs the songs early. Everyone is enjoying there family the whole week. I dont care about anything entertaining because im entertaining my family.
Adonbilivit. C’mon, Play.com is usually full of shiit. Damn it, I’m excited tho. #R8 #SlapABitchLikeRickJames
Beyonce taught her. I just hope for her sake she goes at least 2x platinum and 5x platinum worldwide like the queen. I am ready to drag the navy for any first week sales under 300k. And that’s being nice since y’all swear everyone is anticipating it.
No, she better do at least 400k, because the way the Navy’s been acting as of late..if not, this big forehead b****’s Stan’s will get dragggged.
Coming from a Mimi stan who’s fave had 58k first week.
bye darrrrrrling
But your fave last album hasn’t even gone gild *tilts head*
***gold
Not this F.A.G trying to come for a legend, b**** check her credentials. Now go have a seat on a FIST.
My fav doesn’t have to sell another album, she’s cemented. When will Rihanna?
Her credentials are impeccable, but don’t come at her for her first week sales. Malariah has never really been impressive in that department.
The thing about you Rihanna stans that is so annoying, is the fact that you queen’s can dish it, but can’t take it, surprising, considering ” “Running around the blog insulting other artist about their sales” so since you bottoms want to act like she’s Queen, she better open with STELLAR #’s
Woah… Calm down. I’m no stan. I like her music, in fact I like all kinds of music. I don’t have a favorite artist and you were cleary throwing shade. Don’t be mad at your own actions, which evidently come back to bite u in the asss. Lol God bless.
Girl mad at what, yes i’m throwing shade, and i’m throwing facts. Keep it moving, you’re boring me.
yes! the Navy are so hush hush about this. Last week the Navy had the nerve to REACH and compare 7/11 to rhino’s concert video for ‘cheers (drink to that)’ – despite the fact that rihanna released a preview only days later that had a similar beat to 7/11. Now rihanna is deliberately copying Beyonce’s album strategy and Y’all just gone act like nothing’s happening. I SEE ALL OF YOU & I HAVE THE RECEIPTS
“Beyonce” was nobody’s 5plat…. Lmao get over it… Maybe if you consider the new album selling format but if you do that means Unapologetic reigns supreme.
Nope. Its if you include shipments. With or without its still above Unapologetic.
lol I don’t think she is that fool to do a surprise album and give all y’ all thirsty haters something to brag about . She will release it normaly cause she doesn’t need a surprise album to save her career from a “4” album (this is where you behives gonna tell how good 4 selled compared to rihanna’s i know) If your fave wanna compete as a pop sensation and not just an rnb diva then Rihanna remains the most successful artis on global charts internationaly go search some numbers , either it is albums or singles deal with it and stop bringing up Beyonce’s album success only becuz it’s the only thing you can brag about lmao .
I’ve never been one to like. Her albums I’m more of a ( Beyonce,Tayor,Adele & 1D kind of guy) but I know she going to have some hot songs on there & I mostly just end up loveing her first & second singles from every album. But I wonder if how badly she’s been to her fans on Social media will affect how well her album & songs do this time around? Who knows.
Her and Nicki are going to have OK first and second week sales then fall off TRUST they will struggle to sale over 500k but because of billboards new rules they will be platinum due to streaming lol #pathetic
Bey would’ve struggled had it not been for her release. Let’s not be delusional. Yall act like bey did Adele numbers… Or even Taylor numbers…
I ran in here….broke my toes and my wedge heel…to seee its play.com………..girl bye…..this not real…..the thirst for new rihanna music is real tho
Aw, no more walking for you. You ran for nothing….poor thing 🙁
Girl who wears wedges tho…×sips tea×
Island girls love it
this is clearly fake but I cant wait until R8
Yaaaaaaassssssss!!! Take my iTunes gift card I’m getting for Christmas queen.
How old are you?
I dont think rihanna is gonna release it surprisingly. I just think shes gonna tell us the release date when shes done because shes still recording it. With people giving out release dates shes probably changing while she goes. I still believe in 2015 release though.
i hope it will be really good ,it has to be a big shot otherwise….people will be comparing her to bee and rihanna can loose her respect and position in the industry.
i don’t wanna dance music…..it has to be sth really fresh
She’s coming but not this year. January/February seems more likely.
Hi, baby daddy!
Hi, kid!
I’m only a few years younger than you BYE!
Lol, i’m probably 10 years older than you.
Ewww If you over 30 then yea. I’m 21 years old.
Oh I thought you were younger than that, i’m 25, not big difference 😀
Mmmhm. Do you have an Youtube/Google+ account???
I do have a google account, why?
Lets Chat There. I wanna have a musical debate with you
Excuse me, this is not of Plenty of Fish.
Where?, we can chat him tho.
What is your Google+ name? Mines is “Stephy Tha Lambily”.. Also, I hate chatting here. Its annoying
I love how nice David is to Rihanna.
Calm down b**** she’s always been one of his faves.
B****? Isn’t that what your pimp calls you every friday night when you’re smoking sausages on your local street corner?
No dear, it’s the name your boyfriend calls you before and after he eats my strawberry p****. #Tasty
I’m single so I don’t know what bum peasant you’ve been letting devour that fish paste distributor you call a v*****. Still charging by the hour?
Lol she’ll have a cute lil 1st and 2nd single thats it
rih will sell more and actually get a certification on her album and people will buy her album unlike ciara and iggy them flop bittttches wont even go gold
When GGGB alone outsold Ciara’s whole discography. Even Music of the Sun sold more than NoClassic. #SadButTrue
Why do the Navi on this site get hype just because David doesn’t drag. He’s BEEN stanning for years but y’all didn’t see it.
Everyone assumes he doesn’t like her but I remember one time he was going up for NLA on twitter, i think TGJ isn’t here for her but he is.
Why tf do ya’ll care that a writer stan for ya’ll faves or not #BitchesBePressForNoReason
I am so ready for this and not the hive saying they gon drag her honey pls not when beyose only sells 3M @ me when she can outsell real album sellers
and Rihanna’s best selling album was 2.8m, so @ me bittch with your credentials
U just talking Us sales tho….i think tea honey was referring to WW sales…why uou dumb as rocks heaux?…. got sand in ya vag?
WW Beyonces highest selling album is still higher than any Rihanna album though so that was a fail lol
Whatever. I don’t believe it. Why would she release a new album then turn around and release a soundtrack? When will she have time to promote? I don’t think #R8 is coming until next summer guys. Hopefully I’m wrong!
The Navi are dragging tf out of David on twitter just because he said he wants the album to come out soon. Scrying.
Girl I saw! I feel so bad cos he’s actually always mad nice about her.
https://twitter.com/SirElijahBlake/status/332192676734713858
#BitchesBePressForNoReason
Nobody is excited about Rihanna outside of her fan base.
Rihanna is coming! Rihanna is coming!
DEATH at you tryna hook up with s******
Omg!!! The Navi are roasting Davida! Deadass wish I had twitter so I could tell them he’s on our side kiii.
Where can I see it sis.
Search his name on twitter, they going tf in.
The kii kii is that he’s the one that likes her.
Bring it Rih!
Hmm… That would make it 2 weeks after this Diamond Ball of hers… *sips tea*
NOT the stupid ass Navi dragging David because he showed your fave love. How low are y’all IQs?
But he shades her all the time.
Don’t you read who writes the articles that are nice about her? It’s always him. Anyways, that’s what he gets for being nice to such a low life W**** who goes through men like laxatives in a p**** pie.
LMAO *sips camomile & peppermint* death @ the navy dragging their own member instead of dragging the countless hive members on this thread and on twitter that are coming for rihanna’s edges for copying beyonce. Is Sam off sick today? smh I know he was waiting for this post to write all kinds of shade, comparing rihanna to a musical version of greasy mcdonalds SMH you know something’s wrong when the post isn’t titled #BeyInspired
birthday strategy? uhh huh. 27th is a regular shopping day here. spending x-monies. :biggrin:
A new opportunity for to do all things that were thought
to be able to lost indefinitely. You can read some
more genf20 plus reviews online websites before going to buy genf20
nicely.
Scrying at David’s TL and scrying at the fact he’s not saying anything back. On some real s*** though, the Navi are so dumb if they don’t know that more than one person writes on this blog and that one of them actually stans for their fave. I need his ass to go in on them.
Oh shut the f*** up you funky p**** b****! How are Twitter Navi meant to know he shows her love if they don’t read the blog.
Wait! So you mean to say the Navy had no clue Davondra is TeamNavi and TeamBarb? *FallsTheFuckOut
Not everyone has time to read who writes what articles like you do w****.
Hey did you know Rihanna has a cameo in Annie??? *sips tea* bound to flop for sure…
I’ve been on his TL. WTF are u talking about? The HIVeS all over him throwing shade. Now sashay away.
Stop there b****, you KNOW the Hive loves us some David. It’s you b****** that came for him cos he paid RihHerpes a compliment.
Have you seen his TL? Lol You know I’m right. Y’all are telling him to stfu. Please b******…. check it out. Check him out.
Not you trying to shift the blame to us.
Why would they? Common sense is not the HIVes strongest attribute, but so is everything really.
David is our boo so you can sit down with your lies b****, I’m on his tl right now and it’s the Nonfactors that are going in on him like the ravenous beasts that you are.
I can’t see it
@RICHIE_RICH They’re cleary lying.
I’m never interested in her sound Past “Pon De Replay” Make Me Your Girl” her goatish sound ANNOYS ME Ri-Whine-A sound isn’t appealing & only her fans STAN FOR HER!!
if you don’t like her or her music than why is your herpesss infested ass here go play in traffic or go sell your body on the corner WHOREEEEE
I can’t wait till the lead it’s gonna slay for the gods and if it’s urban well …at least she has enough success already
One direction did 300k first week. And they have a massive teenage fanbase so I dont see her doing over 350k.
I’m confused. What’s going on with David.
Basically because the Nonfactors have no common sense they dragged Davita because he said he needs her new album but little did those dumb s**** know that he isn’t the one who drags her everyday.
We’re laughing at how stupid they are and you’re free to join us.
Ha.
Ha.
Ha.
Kiii, lemme run in and protect my baby David from you b******.
If its true, it just looks like a desperate attempt to try and outdo Beyonce. Just saying. But it does not make sense considering shes supposed to have film soundtrack coming out a few months later. And January/Feb time is a notorious slump period in album sales so I don’t know how this will work.
can’t wait
I was one of the people who dissed David just now. Apologize to him or nah?
And we care because?
Hmmmm, well I thought she stated that the info will come from her……
Doesnt matter when she releases at this point. The masses are starved. Haters and otherwise. I’m disappointed if that’s the truth I don’t feel like waiting anymore!!!! 🙁
Half mad half laughing that yall came for my boothang David.
I don’t think anyone is starved for new music from her. Beyonce’s hype was much bigger. I see her taking the surprise route. The only difference is her team is giving hint after hint. She can’t pull if off like Beyonce without giving a heads up. They know those sales would suffer. lmao
Hmmmmmm, ain’t that it!!!!!!
People were pressed for bets music but every single fell flat lol. Girl bye. like I said the masses and almost every outlet anticipates this drop. Nobody will be thinking of beyonce once rihanna drops. I’m sure she will over a much better catalog with thriving visuals in due time. Which is why bey is trying to milk it right now…. 2015 belongs to rihanna. Sorry guys.
Sis you sound a lil upset.
EVERYONE was anticipating Bey’s release. The reason it outsold UNA in less time without the need of a #1 hit single. Drunk in love was a hit with little to no promo. No one is anticipating this predictable anthology of generic microwaved singles with her typical dry performing and overrated fashion “inspired” videos, other than you rihtards. I find it funny that she waited until Beyonce’s “milked” era was over to release. Ironic that you say milked when Beyonce didn’t even promote. kii Rih is scared of the competition. I see she’s taking notes on how to prepare a album and keep it a secret. She is under pressure boo, but we’ll see what she delivers since her album sales aren’t that impressive anyways. gurrrl BYE! kii
Right I’m not Check’n for Ri-Whine-A GOATISH SOUND to please my ears…*Listens to “Countdown”…
YOU SAID NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!!!! U ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON ON THIS BLOG….
Everyone? Only you, Behiv+, I’m not either a Rihanna or a Beyoncé fan.
I don’t feel the anticipation for a new Rihanna album besides when I read comments from her stans on blogs like this. Rihanna doesn’t give people the chance to miss her, of course thirsty stans will say they missed her but even on a ‘break’ she’s recording and has music collaborations and is doing photo shoots, interviews etc. All smokes and mirrors for a fear of being let’s in the dark. She has over saturated the market with her music and released in bulk, there’s not room for any thirst for more (besides her stans of course). That’s also applied to her stats. It’s all about quantity and releasing in bulk to make up for what she what obviously lacks against her other peers. Even with this era, if I’m not mistaken, she will be making up for that one year album absence by releasing TWO albums in one era. Let’s hope radio doesn’t start to reject her any time soon because she would be nothing as an artist without it.
I SPOT NO LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang
Navy getting dragged up and down, I’m not that hyped for her album to be honest, interested in the roll out of the album though, let’s see if she will too bey
When did Rihanna EVER say she was going for a surprise release? The Pest are so delusional and hurt. Rihanna will announce her release date, not the blogs and not leaks. I know it sucks when your fave can’t get a hit, but make loke the Ciara fans and deal with it and accept it. Rihanna isn’t thinking of BeyDobe, she’s aiming for Mariah’s #1s record. #R8
Death @ BeyDobe!!! I live for the reads & shade on TGJ
Why would you say you’re going for a surprise release? It then would not be a surprise. *Side eyes this idiot*
Lol I know right?? It always cracks me up when a person tries to correct other people and come off looking dumb as s***.
Not a good idea. Releasing it on Christmas day will only allow her fans to buy the album. Nobody shops on Christmas day. She should release a week or two before the holiday. Just saying.
Rihanna is Queen and beautiful!
What a testament to Rihanna’s power! lol! The fact that speculation surrounding when #R8 will be released has reached this level of anticipation proves that Rihanna’s status is undeniable.
As someone who loves both Rihanna and Bey (what a thing of beauty, really), I don’t feel this has anything to do with Bey’s approach. What is actually the same is the level of anticipation. 😀 I disagree that it’s just Rihanna’s fans waiting for this album. POP FANDOM is waiting for this album.
I want Rih to take her time, don’t rush it, and give us the pop masterpiece that I know is in her.
*bumping A B’s ‘Luxury’*
but if you were to believe a certain fanbase, you would believe there is no hype.
thought: the one reason why a surprise release for rihanna wont work is that everyone is that the world is expecting and anticipating the release.
it worked for bey because nobody was anticipating the album by then her fans were just resigned to waiting for a release date, its not like with R8 were every single rihanna news is dissected for hints and clues as to when R8 will be released and how it will sound like.
Loool delusion. There was WAY more speculation for Beyonces album. Google is your friend.
I don’t think Rih would be dumb enough to try it. It’s still Taylor Season right now. That 14th #1 won’t happen when Taylor is selling singles & albums out the @ss. However, I’m ready for R8 even though I don’t use Rihanna. Ever since Katy destroyed Gags pop has been boring. Ariana didn’t cut it for me and neither is Taylor. I need Rih to show these girls and her white girl clone Miley how its done.
Death @ the Good Sister David using the unpaid TGJ interns to rush in here to defend him because he’s getting dragged on Twitter! I can’t!
This is a BAD move, she just needs to release an xmas EP called ‘Hark the Herald Forehead Sings’/’Deck the Forehead’ and call it day for 2014. no-one with a life is going to buy/listen to an album on christmas day, especially if it’s not festive – this has gimmick written all over it. stick a fork in you – your DONE.
love how you critize her for an unconfirmed rumor, especially when this past months have seen rumors upon rumor of when she will supposedly release and none came to fruition, hate but please be logical
You ppl are DUMB. Anything from #R8 will come from Rihanna’s mouth herself. Didn’t she say that? And forget about her releasing #R8 this year cus #R8 is 2015 sh*t when she will be 10 years in the game. And those who keep saying they’re not here for her will be the first to check her. Y’all need to get a life.
I honestly can’t wait to hear the album , I hope that she doesn’t do a surprise release maybe tell us a week or too in advance like Kanye & Jay-Z did with their albums
“ain’t nun of this sh** promised , ain’t none of this promised ” – rihanna new song is going to be hot I love her singles she so smart with it it’s crazy but I hope with this album she doesn’t waste single worthy songs like she did on “Talk That Talk”
Great way to end the year
So she waited more this time cause it was going to be impossible for her to get a #1 album in November again 🙂
This gimmick was cute when Beyonce did it last year. Now it just looks tired.
In case this is true she is desperately trying to make people download the album as a Xmas gift even if they aren´t that interested.
More power to her 🙂
Dumb ass, she was set to release the Home soundtrack this month but it was pushed back which in turn pushed back #R8 too. You’re always panini pressed over artists who didn’t debut 30 years ago. Sit your old fart ass down.
No, I love the talented ones we have nowadays too. It´s not Rihanna´s case 🙂
This poor site will believe anything concerning #R8 lol. Why would she release an album on Christmas? I have accepted the fact that we will be getting the #HOME soundtrack before #R8.
Honey Rihanna is a Star… cici goes to foodshopping no flashing light lol
I hope that BEYONCE collaboration be on that, life will never be the same without at least one Bey and Ri colab, the corresponding music video will break YouTube
I do believe that no one is really excited about Rihanna new release besides her fan base, which is y beyonce was successful, she grabbed other people attention beyond her fan base. Plus Rihanna has been in the spotlight the whole time.
Rihanna makes good music and has a unique voice. The people with the best voices makes the most crappy music. *plays 7/11*
#NotANavySoSaveYourStaleShade
*Plays Resentment, Satellites, Listen, Halo, Dangerously In Love, Love on top and the dozens of other songs Rihanna could never*
plays cold case love, case closed.
Lol that basic song is nothing special. The case was never open for your opinion in the first place.
if a basic rihanna song is miles beyond what you consider is best from your fav, what does that say about your fav’s discography?
RIHANNA is BEYONCE
fake! I don’t see it on her website
Since the stunt she pulled when she got that Fashion Icon Award, she is losing steam…
