No physical copies in store

[naturalplayboy]

I'm too lazy to check threads but is anyone discussing the lack of the physical copies in stores?

this past week I've had friends text me saying they couldn't find glory all week at target and Best Buy. Some even going back everyday. I even had trouble finding the album. I went to target and 3 different best buys before I found the deluxe copy. Meanwhile freakin Barbara Streisand had 50 copies on the shelves of each store.

Also the album wasn't promoted in the weekly ad. Not one picture.

whos to blame for that? Is it her team for not sending copies to these stores and paying for ad space? Or is it the stores who just chose to order a few copies to sell? How does that work?

I think RCA dont ship this time too much physical copies to the stores. Maybe the blame it's because the Britney Jean fiasco at the stores.

Most stores have increased their stock now, at least Target has

[OoopsBitch!]

yes. the ones who are responsible didn't send enough copies because I've seen many people commenting that they couldn't find it in stores.

I couldn't find it, my friend couldn't find it. I saw people on ontd and exhale who couldn't find it

it's ******* sad to think of how many more copies could have been sold.

It's sad to think she could've missed out on thousands of sales due to this. 

Can she just switch labels? Honestly I'm sick of RCA

I know that there are people that would much rather pay for a physical copy than download on iTunes. So if there are sales they missed out on because of this stupidity I am pissed.

I went to Target the day it came out and they had multiple copies

I had to go to two different targets and walmarts to find ONE copy at a target that was cracked (ended up getting it)

My Target had ZERO copies on release day. Fortunately the Best Buy next door had about 5 copies left.

in the UK you can only get it at HMV, were as all of her other albums were sold at all supermarkets.

My local Target only had 5 copies. I was pissed. She wasn't even top shelf. Barbara and FGL were. Such a shame. Godney should have had the top shelf to herself!

And meanwhile they're begging radio stations that already dropped Make Me... to play it, instead of shipping enough copies to the stores. I mean, they could do both things, but apparently they were just relying in digital sales.

sadly towards the end of tracking week...

Glory would have sold better this week if it weren't for the limited supply, right?

Her team is ridiculous.

yes omg my target had zero copies on release date. I was so confused. Thank god they finally shipped some in by thursday. literally got mine at the last minute. this definetely affected sales tbh. target had a whole ******* end display when 1989 came out and that sold 1.3 million the first week so...

In Italy we had the same problem, very difficult to find copies in stores

But it debuted #1 so

The digital era won 

[Barbie Spears]

I was going to make a thread about this too. Not seen a single copy of Glory at Morrisons or Tesco  

Maybe they haven't shipped to the UK yet lol

Xtina fans also said they didnt shp enough of Lotus. I guess i understand if they dont want to oversaturate and then the album doesnt sell but i honestly think those ******* at the record store hid Glory in the store room to **** with her sales.

Try having stores that not even sell CDs... aka my city
