thanks,

This one is beyond embarrassing. What if it wasn't released before the Holiday season? Only 100k sold in total?

Making Target the exclusive retailer of the album hurt its domestic sales.

Copycat said:

Its all profit though, and in this day and age, artists are letting go of the charts in order to get checks. Deals like this one, the GNR deal, the Elton John deal, etc...are nothing but profit to the artist, there is no loss.
