THE pre-order slots for songstress Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza Tarudin’s (pic) soon-to-be launched album were snapped up in a matter of hours, reported Harian Metro.

All 2,000 pre-order slots for ManifestaSITI2020 were sold out by noon on Tuesday.

“Universal Music and Siti Nurhaliza Productions still want to publish physical albums (instead of just digital ones) as it’s something that has sentimental value for the fans.

“This album comes with added bonus in the form of a booklet, making it worth the wait, ” Siti said.

This will be Siti’s 18th solo album and it will feature 11 songs, including Anta Permana and Terang.
