From the Chicago Tribune: Target will not be selling Beyonce's new self-titled album - a surprise bombshell release that dropped on iTunes last week. The nature of the its debut is exactly the reason that the big box store will not be stocking its "B" section with the hot-selling album.
"At Target we focus on offering our guests a wide assortment of physical CDs, and when a new album is available digitally before it is available physically, it impacts demand and sales projections," a Target spokesperson told TheWrap. "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.'"
But Walmart is still cool with the songstress. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/chi-beyonce-album-target-20131217,0,1947824.story
Stores used to ban CD's and records (for us old folk) because of the content.
Now, they ban them because of the digital age.
Times have changed.
