SORT OF BREAKING: Target Changes Their Mind About Beyoncé

No sooner do I post about how Beyoncé shades the hell out of Target, they change their minds! A source brought this information to me not too long ago accompanied by this pic:

Hilarious.

Although, I was pretty psyched about this info, the first thing that caught my attention was (no, not that Susan Boyle holiday album) the price tag. I have no idea what Target is trying to do with this slick $20 price tag, but it seems like counter-shade. 

Then again, I hardly know the first thing about business.

But what I do know is that the price everywhere else is around $16, including Wal-Mart.

From Wal-Mart's website; the album is priced at $15.88.

Looks like Amazon is on their own now. Target sure as hell changed their minds fast, but is it too late?

Target Won't Be Selling Beyoncé's Album

Beyoncé before she swings her "#1 Album in 104 countries" trophy at Target's face.

Yea, once again, you read right. Target won't be selling Beyoncé's latest album when it's available for retail.


Target released a statement as to why they won't be shelving it:

While there are many aspects that contribute to our approach and we have appreciated partnering with Beyonce in the past, we are primarily focused on offering CDs that will be available in a physical format at the same time as all other formats. At this time, Target will not be carrying Beyonce's new self-titled album 'Beyonce.'

To me, it basically just sounds like, "Wahhh, we didn't get it first." But they did give a decent reason, explaining that

"when a new album is available digitally before it is available physically, it impacts demand and sales projections"

I guess, but still...it's Beyoncé and no matter where it was released first, the album is still bound to do very well everywhere else. I mean, think about how many people who weren't able to buy it just yet and are salivating after it right now!


Despite its lack of promotion, the album has gone #1 in 104 countries, sold 80,000 copies in the first three hours of being available, and has also smashed the record for first week sales in three days. 

That's okay, Target. We'll just get it at Walmart, your competitor.

Beyoncé Freezes the World by Dropping Album Out of NOWHERE

How to Snatch Several Wigs by Beyoncé

So if you haven't heard because you were sleep (like me) last night, Beyoncé released her visual album last night on iTunes. The self-titled album has 14 songs, 17 videos, and is priced at $15.99.

No, it's not a holiday album.

I'm pretty sure the "wasps" are buzzing up a storm right now and would love to use this as ammo as to why Bey is reckless or some other delusional argument about her. But according to her Life is But a Dream documentary, she became unhappy with today's music industry and the fans being distracted from the craft itself.

You can read the full explanation and statement on Necole Bitchie's blog by clicking the respective links.

The album was brought to us by a plethora of the biggest names in the industry today, including Pharrell, The Dream, Hit Boy, Justin Timberlake, and many more.

Also, if you're wondering what the album brings to the table, there are sneak peeks of each video on Beyoncé's youtube channel.
