Wal-Mart are pushing two Universal artists, while their previously reported spat with Warner and SonyBMG continues - as previously reported, lots of Warner and SonyBMG content has been taken off the US supermarket giant's download store, because they've gone all MP3 but are seemingly struggling to agree a licencing deal for DRM-free content with the two majors.
But while that's on the go, two Universal artists are getting a big push through the US supermarket, both online and in store. Mariah Carey's Island Def Jam album 'E=MC2' is being sold with a free interview and a free MP3 copy of single 'Touch My Body', while Bryan Adams' new album '11' (which still hasn't been released in the US) will be exclusively available via Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores when it is released there next month.
