... that Jack White released his sixth studio album unannounced by including unmarked vinyl copies of it with purchases made at Third Man Records stores?

Source: NME - "Jack White has surprise released a new solo album by slipping it into the bags of customers at Third Man Records, and is now encouraging fans to share it online. On Friday (July 19), the former White Stripes frontman appears to have decided to give select music fans a surprise by having vinyl copies of his mystery new record added to their purchases at the London, Nashville and Detroit locations of his string of record stores. The record sleeve carries no information about its contents, simply reading ‘No Name’ on the label."

Untitled Jack White album → No Name (album) – I believed the safer option for naming this article was "Untitled Jack White album" due to the unique release method that did not immediately establish an official title for the album. However, it seems "No Name" is the common name for this album, as it has been widely used by fans and music journalists as well as Metacritic. More search results appear for "Jack White No Name" rather than "Jack White untitled", and the latter still yields results that include a mention of the title "No Name". Images of a forthcoming official vinyl release have also begun circulating the internet, with the liner notes confirming an official title of "No Name". My only source for this at the moment is a Reddit thread, although I will provide an update if I find a reliable secondary source reporting on this, so I will not make this the primary reason for the move at the moment as it is not a reliable source. This has been confirmed in a Stereogum article. This report and WP:COMMONNAME indicate that the article title should be changed. Aria1561 (talk) 04:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: All signs appear to be pointing towards an official wide release with the title No Name. jhsounds (talk) 12:50, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I would be tempted to wait the three days until an official release but if the majority of journalistic sources are terming it as No Name and not "Jack White's untitled album" then the move is warranted. Οἶδα (talk) 16:12, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The labels on the vinyl itself from the shows say "No Name" as well on them. Photos of the wristbands from the his recent chain of shows are calling it "The No Name Tour". All signs are saying the album is officially called "No Name". 2601:1C1:8503:320:13C6:DECA:6339:3A66 (talk) 03:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: This Instagram post from White himself just a half-hour ago is all you need. "Jack White’s new album No Name will be available tomorrow, August 1, exclusively at all @thirdmanrecords store locations on limited edition vinyl, and then available digitally and at select local indie shops on Friday, August 2." Gibbsy^spin 14:35, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The album has also already been released in territories where it is August 2,[1] unequivocally confirming the title to be No Name. Journalists have further caught on[2][3][4] Jack White's own website released an official statement confirming the release[5]: "Jack White's new album No Name will be available tomorrow, August 1, exclusively at all Third Man Records store locations on limited edition vinyl, and then available digitally and at select local indie shops on Friday, August 2." This discussion has thus aged out of relevance. Must it remain open for an additional 3 days when the available information is definitive? Οἶδα (talk) 15:45, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support confirmed New Name. PuppyMonkey (talk) 18:52, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Based on what I've seen, it looks like the official title will be confirmed as 'No Name'. Waqar💬 17:01, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
