Jay Z and iTunes
There has been a lot of chatter about Jay Z’s recent decision to only sell his new album as a complete album . Consequently the album is not on iTunes because iTunes wish to allow users to cherry pick tracks. The debate has argued the artistic merits of Jay Z’s decision, which is fair enough, but the point may also be about making a stand against iTunes. Jay Z is no longer an artist only. I wonder if in the future we are going to see more artist albums where the tracks are not separated, e.g. the tracks segued on Abbey Road.
