Universal Music Group is scrambling every since their star artist’s prolonged rock release took a leak into retail stores and 500 fans possession.
Universal Music Group has repeatedly delayed the Cash Money / Universal Motown effort since last spring, and it now set to finally be released on Feb. 1. Billboard writes that about 1 million copies of the album have been manufactured, and about a third of those have been sent to retail accounts.
Representatives for the Universal Music Group and Amazon.com did not respond to requests for comment.
The first single to emerge from “Rebirth” was “Prom Queen,” which Billboard notes has sold 725,000 copies. More recently, the album’s “On Fire” and “Da Da Da” were officially released. “On Fire” has yet to penetrate any major charts, but Billboard reports that it has sold 6,000 downloads since its Dec. 6 release.
