$3.99

Yass!!!

One Million is ******* Yall

Why not?

No one's buying albums, if this helps spread her music by increasing her sales volume, it's smart.

It's for a digital copy. Unlike physical CDs, digital take nothing to produce so they can sell it even for $0.1 and still get money.

I would choose 1,000,000 copies for $3 over 300,000 copies for $10 any day. It's smart.

But Apple is sooooo against the labels doing the $3.99 promotion.

They've threatened labels that they wouldnt promote the artist on the main page.

But Taylor's still there.

^ But that's Amazon, not iTunes.

Her label is really giving their all in support for Taylor. If only other labels are this generous.

RIGHT.

Apple has made it clear that if you partake in Amazon's $3.99 promotion that they wont promote your album on the main page.

RCA wanted Ke$ha to do the promotion but opted against it for the iTunes promotion.

But the offers stands at Amazon. Will Apple still meddle with that?

Amazon.com and Apple have been going head to head recently over electronic books, with Apple's iPad shaking things up for Amazon's Kindle. But the two tech giants are also quietly tussling over digital music. According to a story in Billboard, Apple is irked at Amazon's MP3 "Daily Deal" promotion and is exerting pressure on the music labels to stay away from it.

Billboard reports:

In exchange for a Daily Deal promotion on a new album, Amazon has been asking labels to provide it with a one-day exclusive before street date and such digital marketing support as a banner ad on an artist's MySpace page and messages on label and artist Web sites and social network feeds.

That prompted Apple to strike back:

Sources say that iTunes representatives have been urging labels to rethink their participation in the Amazon promotion and that they have backed up those warnings by withdrawing marketing support for certain releases featured as Daily Deals.

In response, label executives at Capitol, Capitol Nashville and Jive recently opted against participating in Daily Deal promotions they had been considering for Corinne Bailey Rae's "The Sea," Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" and Ke$ha's "Animal," sources say.

Amazon's MP3 business hasn't made a huge dent in Apple's dominant iTunes, but apparently Apple executives are keeping a close eye on it.

Well, I didn't know that. But Taylor still has a huge banner?

I think Apple is still promoting Taylor because if they stop it, it would be their loss, not hers.

TRUE.

She's gonna be a beast either way.

I can't wait for the next Gaga era. I'm ready for her to slay.

go taylorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yikes! That's a desperate move right there. We'll see if it works. Because if it does, that would be huge bragging rights (and probably the last album to ever do it).

no it's smart

Hmm, whatever.
Smart thou, I just, is she that good? - I may have to have a listen to her you know. See what this hype is over...
