The POWER.

I wonder what the haters will have to say.

Boss move.

First Gaga with BB changing its rules and now Jay with RIAA changing its rules. True power and revolutionaries.

I'm not mad. The industry is changing and so the labels have to as well.

I was thinking the same thing that was already mentioned. This could get messy.
Samsung bought a million, but like what was already brought up, if only 600,000 people download it then it shouldnt count as a platinum album.

I have no issues with Jay-Z, but I'm thinking that opens the door for artists to sell them selves to a company as long as they buy up their album. What's stopping an artist from going to an even bigger company than samsung and agreeing to do promo for them for a certain amount of years and in return that company buys 2 million copies of an album to distribute "freely" with whatever product. Now that artist is praised as the first artist to sell 2 million albums in a week ever.

I understand technically they're paid for, but I'm sure you understand how messy this could get.
