The 'Lemonade' and 'Anti' success struggle

Beyonce and Rihanna have been under the same label for the most of their careers and so what one management from the label know so does the other know. The two being two of the greatest musicians of our time comes with some controversy then.
In 2016, people had been anticipating for Rihanna’s album and she was already sharing promotion visuals for her album, ‘anti-diary’. However, her album was leaked and she had to release it weeks before the set time. Beyonce had dropped Lemonade around the same time and now we had two albums for the Navy and the Beyhive. It has in the past days been allegedly reported that the Lemonade release and the Anti leak was very intentional to cripple Anti’s sales and awards.
Fast forward, Rihanna registered her music in preparation for R9 to Spotify instead of Tidal. This is what set the tongues wagging and the fact that she is now not saying a word in regards to her album. People are just speculating that it will come in December. No one in her team is saying anything to probably eliminate another 2016 situation.
Which album are you listening to should they be released the same day?
