Artist have to do this now and days. It's an entire different game now. What you got to understand is that this is 2013 not 1993. If you can get a deal via Clear Channel, or bundle deals or 99cent deals like you state, consider that a blessing. At least your able to get that cause NOT ALL artist are able to get that. Some artist withput it will only sell 80k or less ... Big artist like Madonna, Gaga, Jay-Z and Beyoncé (who in case you live under a rock has Pepsi set to back up her new album, when it drops.) It's all part of a new plan, a new way to generate sales and make that money! I praise whomever can get a deal like these to get them... It's a privilege to get it. It's just too bad Jay -Z can't get the sales to go towards the Billboards charts maybe they will change their minds... who knows! I hope they do.
