Well,
for the sake of truth, Jon said one thing and John said quite the opposite so WHO told the truth in the end?!
I don't want to start a debate about it but most JTers and non-JTers alike said that most of the songs sounded like songs from 8-10 years ago, i.e. what Jon said. WDR and a couple more seem to be new songs, maybe discarded from the 2016 "real" album but who knows after all? The only song we are sure is brand-new and was especially written for BB is "BB"
and probably "Teardrop" as well because of the way Jon kept on mentioning the two during interviews.
Of course, all the songs were re-recorded for BB, they were not to release a demo under the guise of a finished album! Jon wanted to say FY to UMG but still, there are limits to what is permitted.
Anyways! All I'm saying is that when Jon says, "I'm working on a new album that will be released in 2016" some/many fans take it for granted whereas when Richie says the exact same thing they call him a liar. Biased? Hypocrites? Idiots? Take your pick! Jon's word is not the gospel truth and no, he gave us no "great factual updates" and so far we've heard not one sound from Jon's 2016 album whereas we've heard a snippet from "Rise", the song that Richie and Ori announced as their first single + a snippet from the Sonny & Cher first hit, although we don't know if it'll be on their album. So far we know more about the RSO album than the BJ one but, once again, there's no competition and I'll stick to this story: Jon and Richie are respectively working on a new album that will be released in 2016. And yet even THAT is not factual but
just hearsay (sources: Jon & John and Richie, Ori & Michael Bearden).

Likewise they're not pissed off about ex-Mrs Jagger, former supermodel Jerry Hall (59) being engaged to media mogul Rupert Murdoch (84)!
