This won't count towards billboard, so it doesn't really matter. That's nice for the fans tho.

"Britney stans" fit throwing changing the world.

...Why did you put Britney stans in quotes? I said fans. Also don't you think the timing is dead on for them raising the prices? I mean there was never any debate before, and I really don't think Britney fans were 100% the reason for the change but I think the whole 99 cent thing started a debate.

Isn't understand a thing that user was saying.

Wow! No wonder Interscope is paying her $40 million for only three albums. You just know the album price is built into the ticket price. Great way for Interscope to guarantee revenue; they could care less about Soundscan bragging rights.

There was never a debate before because an album was never offered for such a cheap price like that. Of course Britney fans weren't the whole reason. The entire situation cause talk in the industry about manipulation and such. Fans complaining isn't going to change a company's policies at the snap of a finger. But I won't talk about this anymore. So May 2011.

In Economics we learn that nothing is free.

I thought the album was $500 bucks and the ticket comes free inside.

And people said the 0,99 Amazon deal was bad...

the difference is that Madonna doesn't care about chart positions as she does about tour tickets and this is the proof. Gaga on the other hand wanted DESPERATELY to have a number one album so that is why the 99cents deal with amazon was made. Big difference,

lol the Amazon deal wasn't solely for a #1 album. It would have debut at #1 REGARDLESS of the Amazon deal as it was projected to sell over 560,000 in the first week anyway. It was a highly anticipated album. Amazon paid back the difference to Interscope.

Why wouldn't Madonna care about album sales? Interscope sure does--it's their job. At any rate, the Amazon deal was done by Amazon to promote their cloud music program, not a desperate attempt by Gaga to get a 1 album. Amazon was trying to make itself a viable competitor against iTunes.

Still, this is a nice thing Madonna and her team are doing, and hopefully more artists follow suit.

New receipts

[YourMadGesty]

Great!

By the time I attend the concert, I would've have already worn out
The other 4 original copies of 'MDNA' I had already previously purchased.

Madonna knows her fan are going to need another copy by the time the tour comes around.
Smart & gracious woman she is..
