Paul McCartney Pulls a Prince

Not too long ago, Prince announced that he was distributing his latest album via UK newspapers, and it appears that Paul McCartney thinks this is a great idea. Since releasing his last album, “Memory Almost Full” several months ago, McCartney has only seen about 100,000 copies moved. To get those numbers up to almost 2 million or more, McCartney has just announced that he will be distributing it through the UK’s Daily Mail. As mentioned in one of our previous articles, several artists have been criticized for giving their music away by people who say that it cheapens music and makes people think that it isn’t worth anything. Unfortunately for these people, regular customers don’t really seem all that interested in purchasing music in regular ways anymore and giving music away is about as cheap for the labels and artists as it is to promote it.
