Notice of discussion regarding this album's status as a "surprise album"

There's currently a dispute at Talk:Surprise album#In Rainbows is a surprise album. Period. of which I am involved about whether In Rainbows was a "true" surprise album because it was announced 10 days prior, and whether Beyonce's self titled album was actually the first "true" surprise album because it had no prior announcement. I figured I should give the editors of this page a heads up because whatever is decided in that discussion should be in agreement with how this album is described on this page. You are welcome to weigh in if you have any strong feelings on the matter. Fezmar9 (talk) 16:43, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
