Note · field notes
Archive summary: Pitchfork's account of the rollout, its delays and the quoted Def Jam press release.
Scope note: Chart claims are Def Jam's as quoted, not independently checked: the Billboard and Variety articles were paywalled and not read. Diamond Cross Ranch is not recorded: only a fan social post names it.
