The Associated Press has just announced that Christina Aguilera’s new CD will be distributed exclusively by Target. Christina Aguilera’s new Greatest Hits CD will be released on November 11, 2008.
Just announced, here’s the release from the Associated Press:
NEW YORK (AP) — Christina Aguilera has become the latest musical act to release an album exclusively through one retailer.
The multiplatinum singer announced Wednesday that her greatest hits CD “Keeps Gettin’ Better – A Decade of Hits” will be released only at Target. The CD, out Nov. 11, will feature two new songs as well as rerecorded versions of two other hits, “Genie in a Bottle” and “Beautiful.”
“I can’t believe it’s been over 10 years since my first album and it was really exciting to put all of my favorite songs in one collection for my fans,” said Aguilera in a statement.
Aguilera is following a growing list of acts who have struck exclusive deals with retailers. Wal-Mart has had huge success with similar deals with The Eagles, Journey, and Garth Brooks; AC/DC’s October release of “Black Ice” will be available only at Wal-Mart, its affiliated Sam’s Club and the band’s Web site. The Eagles comeback album, “Long Road Out of Eden,” was the third-best selling CD of 2007 with 2.6 million copies sold.
Target exclusively released John Legend’s “Live from Philadelphia” in January and has had other exclusive releases of special edition albums by the likes of Alicia Keys and Carrie Underwood.
While I think it’s a great idea, I also think it is a bit limiting for people who don’t have access to Target or Target.com. What do you think?
I’m excited for the new CD though. I’m quite interested in hearing the new versions of Beautiful and Genie in a Bottle!
