The Exclaim article (1) announced the "upcoming" album in 2015, but note the Billboard article in my nomination, which said in 2017 that the album will probably never be released. Your DJMag article (2) says the same. Your Billboard and MTV articles (3,4) are from January 2018 and said the album would be released in March 2018, which did not happen. Your sources pretty much reaffirm those in my nomination, showing that an album first announced in 2015 has simply sparked three years of media buzz on when it will be released, if ever. Again, individual songs have trickled out and those can be discussed in their own articles. ---
