I think the rushed release was INTENTIONAL

If her team didn't know about the earlier release in Mexico, they are kind of... Idiots. Really. How is it that SM Mexico decides to release something earlier Without the consent of RCA and her management?

I'm from Mexico City and found out about the "leak" on Saturday's night, so I went to the music store that put Glory on sale on Sunday morning, and they didn't had the album , so I asked a lady who works in the store if they already had the new Britney album, and she told me "No", so I told her that I saw that they had put the album on sale the day before, and then she explained me that the record label asked them to retire all the albums from sale. She also told me that it wasn't their fault, she blamed the label (Sony music Mexico), because when they shipped the album to the stores, apparently they marked the released date for August 19th, so they put Glory on sale, but now the albums are locked until the official release day this next Friday. So there you go. It was a mistake from the record label in Mexico, not blame of the music store. And apparently it was a big deal, so probably people got fired in Sony music Mexico. 

This would explain everything, I wouldn't want t be in the place of the person who did the mistake lol  But it's weird because the exactly same thing happened in my country with another big artist and nothing happened, so I think the pressure of the B-Army and the fuss caused all the problems with the release in Mexico.

If they are behind this leak, it's genius. It created so much positive hype and I think ultimately will help more than hurt the sales! Larry's impact!

Like how they planned a whole big budget video for Make Me... just to scrap it, because they knew that was gonna cause controversy, but they had to make it look real, so they actually shot something that could leak Queen of machiavellian promo

I literally think the same. The once who have heard Glory already are praising the album, so Im sure they will buy it!

I still believe we will get original MM video any day before VMA's 

Delusional

I did find it weird how a store was allowed to sell it one week early.

26th of August means 26th of August. I don't get how the Mexican store misunderstood it.

I've been right here dreaming of you, waiting for my Make Me... on the moooooooooooooon

I doubt someone actually could rip the CD in m4a format and in such good quality, the album was ripped from iTunes so i belive it was intentional.

Obviously it was planned, remember when Britney Jean was availabled for streaming one week before the official release.  

They have seduced the fans, to get a physical album and a digital one.

This strategy is about doing some noise for the GP to let'em know the queen is back so they can stream it on Spotify, Apple, Google play + Carpool + VMA  

 spread the word, spread the word
