Yeah speaking of corny you should read the back-story on how Jay-Z worked a deal with Samsung(?) and some marketing team folks to block out enough downloads/streams/whatever with Rihanna's new album so it would be, essentually, guaranteed to go Gold its first week. Is it really a Gold certification if your label bought it for you?

The Chance thing, other than getting money, might be an approach to see if they can wiggle into Grammy contention. That's a rumor though. Will have to see if it works.

The next iPhone release is going to come with Gucci Mane's "iTrap" album pre-installed, if you buy the Apple limited edition "Fam" version.
