Mark your calendar, Rihanna is set to release her ninth studio album in December 2019. The title and the tracklist of Rihanna’s much-talked-about reggae/dancehall album have not been revealed as yet but she might be competing on the charts with ex-boyfriend Drake.

The news of Rihanna’s album release date came out via France. According to multiple media outlets, Universal Music France recently had their annual “Open Session” in Paris and Olivier Nusse, the CEO of Universal Music France, released the calendar of all the artists who are dropping albums in 2019.

Rihanna will be in December. It has been confirmed that RiRi has at least one song called “Private Loving” co-written by Jamaican dancehall/reggae artist Demarco that will be on the album. THE WEEKND, Migos, Kanye West, and Drake will drop their projects in November.

A fourth supporter said: “I’m calling the police if it’s not @badgalriri, at this point this is federal charges.”

Rihanna recently spoke to Interview magazine about the album and revealed: “It really does suck that it can’t just come out because I’m working on a really fun one right now. I’m really happy with a lot of the material we have so far, but I am not going to put it out until it’s complete. It makes no sense to rush it, but I want it out. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m like, “Even if I don’t have the time to shoot videos, I’m going to put an album out.”

It has been three long years since Rihanna gave fans ANTI and many are happy to hear new stuff from her.
