Famed pop music icon Rihanna has been included in the Top 10 of Forbes' "Top Earning Women in Music."

The pop star has earned a whopping $26 million for 2015, even before her anticipated album "ANTI" is released.

Rumors have been claiming that the "FourFiveSeconds" singer has been slacking in terms of releasing her new album after her latest album "Unapologetic" was released back in 2012. The Daily Star reports that RiRi may have pushed back her release date for "ANTI" yet again because of another giant-earning singer, Adele.

Adele just released her single "Hello" from her album "25" just around the time that Rihanna is rumored to release "ANTI." Although Rihanna remains to be tight-lipped about her album, rumors claim that the album may be pushed back for a December release this year, Billboard reports. Meanwhile, The Daily Star speculates that the album maybe pushed more and be released in early 2016.

Forbes reports that Rihanna's eight years in the industry consisted of seven albums, and from 2012, Rihanna was just releasing singles instead of a full-length album. This resulted in RiRi's lower ranking in Forbes' listing this year.

Although Forbes speculates that it could all change when Rihanna decides to release "ANTI" anytime soon, it might not be the case since reports have been claiming that RiRi has been having troubles with her management Roc Nation, Hits Daily Double notes.

It has been speculated that Roc Nation would like to push back the release date of RiRi's highly anticipated album to early 2016. Meanwhile, RiRi's father, Ronald Fenty, recently spoke of the singer's rumored crisis with regard to the release of her album.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Fenty said, "Robyn is not happy with the new album. She's not comfortable with it."

"When she went over the songs she found all these little things she wanted to change and was worried about it. It's a long process and isn't easy. It's been three years now since her last album and she wants this to blow everything else away, no competition, because she's calling it her 'first album,'" he added.

Fenty also revealed that the delay is caused by Rihanna's creative control with her project, as she is still deciding which songs to use or if she will be using fresh materials for the album. Meanwhile, there is still no official statement from Rihanna to answer the circulating rumors.
