滾石雜誌：老鷹專輯獨家販賣並不獨家

[Rfed (R費)]

完了完了，事情越鬧越大

滾石雜誌爆料老鷹的專輯根本不只在Walmart賣！

感覺滾石也趁機槓上Billboard, 畢竟是最大的兩個音樂媒體XD
現在看看Billboard怎麼回招。

ya'll don't mess with Britney, bitch!

When the Eagles announced that they would exclusively sell their new double
album Long Road Out of Eden for an entire year at Wal-Mart (and their own Web
site), fans across the nation — especially those in Wal-Mart-less towns like
New York City and Los Angeles — wondered how they’d get their hands on copy
without journeying to the retail giant. But then we heard whispers that
people were finding the new “exclusive” album at small mom-and-pop record
stores and, remarkably, big chains like Virgin Megastore. We investigated
these claims and discovered that the CDs are indeed being sold outside of
Wal-Mart. Not only that, it didn’t take speakeasy tactics to secure a copy;
some stores were boasting the album by the dozen in front display cases,
where new releases are usually showcased (see above, a shot from a New York
City Virgin Megastore boasting a price sticker of $18.99). “We’re aware of
that — I’ve heard that some stores here are selling imports,” Billboard
charts editor Geoff Mayfield tells Rolling Stone. “Someone told me it was
the third-best seller for Virgin.”

We called eight Virgin Megastores in five different states, and discovered
seven had Long Road in stock, although none of them had the album prominently
listed in their in-store inventory directories. Of the Virgins carrying the
album, most started selling it today, one week after the album’s release,
while two said they started selling the CDs on October 30th, the same day as
the “exclusive” Wal-Mart on-sale date, with one store even “selling out”
 their fairly large stock. The fact that the albums were selling out came as
a surprise, considering the CD at Virgin came with price tags ranging from
$18.99 to $24.99. While it is a double CD, the price is strikingly higher
than Wal-Mart’s tag of $11.88. When we asked one clerk why the album was so
expensive at Virgin, and whether the discs might be imports, he whispered
into the phone that he “thinks they were hard to get.” A small record store
in Nebraska told us they were re-selling discs that were purchased at
Wal-Mart. The question now is, how did Virgin Megastore get their hands on
the album, and did these sales contribute to the Eagles’ Billboard
chart-topping 711,000 copies? Mayfield says, “SoundScan was [also] aware
that this was happening. They audited the data to weed out double sales.” A
comment from Virgin Megastore wasn’t available by press time.
