She put out seven albums in seven years and has topped the charts several times. However, Rihanna and her team seem to be struggling when it comes to her latest effort, her first album in three years.

She has just bowed out of performing at the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, reports say due to the need to finish up the album (Ellie Goulding will replace her).

There were reports the album would come out early November. Then came reports it wasn’t ready to be released, and there wasn’t a choice on the first single. With Justin Bieber and One Direction releasing their new albums on November 13th, and Adele dropping 25 on November 20th, it looks like Rihanna will wait until December.

There are now rumours she may team up with a mobile device company (*cough* Samsung *cough*) to do a surprise release and partnership, similar to what Roc Nation boss Jay Z did in 2013.

No matter what, Riri’s eighth studio album will be incredible and we can’t wait for it! She has been teasing the artwork on Instagram:
