Hard Candy?

If you buy the new Madonna album from Tesco you can pick up one of her other albums for free. Or, buy Immaculate, the Greatest Hits for nine pounds and you get Hard Candy gratis.
Doesn't show a great deal of faith in her new product does it?

This is probably...

...more a Tesco thing than a Madonna thing - after all, they ran an offer on the day the last Harry Potter book came out where you could get it for £5 if you spent £50 in the store.

Wouldn't know.

I foolishly ordered the 'limited edition' which they're not deigning to release until two weeks after the normal version in the hope that the faithful will buy twice.

In reality, my copy for listening this week will more likely fall of the back of the internet.

Next Best Thing

Anyone else wondering if Madonna's old record label haven't forgiven her for not re-signing with them? I notice most of her back catalogue is on iTunes for less than a fiver as well. Let Live Nation pay to promote the new album whilst Warner enjoy higher-than-normal sales on the back of it.

Madonna must be one of those artists where most of the people who are going to buy her back catalogue at normal CD prices have bought it by now. Probably only a matter of time before her first album comes free with a Sunday newspaper.
