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?
Recently, Beyoncé went shopping at Wal-Mart in Tewksbury, MA.
The Bow Down singer, who recently dropped a surprise album and cut through the charts like a molting hot knife, wished shoppers a Merry Christmas and treated everyone who was in the store at the time to a $50 gift card. Check it out:
Knowing me, I would have walked into the store right after the announcement and missed it.
But this also goes back to what I and apparently many other bloggers and publishers was saying about Target's boycott on her album. Knowing Beyonce and her sweetheart image, we've also seen her do some shady things as well. I.E her seemingly silent protest during her husband's 22-day vegan challenge.
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, the songstress donned outfits such as a pepperoni pants suit and cowhide jacket while visiting vegan restaurants; which I found to be uncool.
Anyway, that's to say that Queen Bey still has a nasty side, but she makes it look so good. Recently, Target made it public that they will not be selling her album because it was not released everywhere. I made a remark in my post about it:
That's okay, Target. We'll just get it at Walmart, your competitor.
Voila! Beyoncé co-signs, apparently. Not only did she promote her own album, she gave people a reason to stay and shop in Wal-Mart.
But according to Billboard, it turns out Amazon is following in Target's footsteps and isn't offering the album either. One thing's for sure: These businesses do not appreciate "surprises" at all, and if it weren't for Beyoncé being...well...Beyoncé, this could have been a serious issue.
