Wow, look at all the old fogies on that list! There's only like 3 or maybe 4 acts/artists on there that started their careers in the 2000s!

I wish she had done this with Hard Candy though I know it was being sold at the stadiums. That album is so underrated and should have sold more. I can see why she's doing it in the US, but though I like the new single, I've heard Masterpiece and I can't say I like these better than Hard Candy though they are alright.

The only thing Madonna has done that was interesting to my ears was Ray Of Light which was more due to William Orbits production than anything.

This thread is about Madonna, not Prince.

Will be moving to Non -Prince Music forum

Didn't she sign a 360 deal?

You can give away whatever you want, but they won't be counted as sales on Billboard

Well if I have to go to a concert and you're giving me a CD and it don't count/is not allowed on Billboard, then you're just giving it away...

Actually shes not doing the same thing that Prince did.... you only got the cd when you attended the show for Prince. There was no download sales included in the concert sale during when he did it. The cd didnt arrive into stores until during the run of the show if i recall.

She is doing what Jay Z & Kayne did for their Watch The Throne Tour but LIVE NATION added the option of getting a physical MDNA cd. but with Jay & Kanye you got the physical itunes down load early.

Madonna...such a corporate whore

It's Elton's chance to get back at her now. "So who's reductive now ho?"

Just what we need more shiny coasters.

I wasn't even on here but yeah I bet people were cheering when Prince did it. I mean he gave his away too and Billboard had to change their rules to reflect that.

Yeah, I looked at some old threads and people were praising his innovativeness (is that a word?) and brilliant marketing scheming.

I read it on Maryluvs and even then I thought "that's not that smart".

Since Soundscan stopped counting CD's given away with the price of a ticket after Prince did it this is only a thank you to her fans who buy tickets to her shows. She can't benefit from it in any other fashion. If anything it's detrimental to her CD sales in general considering her likelihood to sell out her tour.

Prince was so masterful 4 giving his cd away with each concert ticket now no other artist can chart on Billboard that way. They had to change the rules. He is so innovative & a trendsetter & a market genius.

I guess a free cd will soften the 350 dollar floor seats.

Yup.

Since LiveNation is her actual label, and interscope is just a distrubtion contract... LiveNation is giving away the cd because they can and has little to nothing to do with Prince

What's with the hate?

Looking miserable? come on now, you know that's not true.

Besides, the give-aways will not chart, what's ugly about her action?
