Default Jay-z names his album “Magna Carta Holy Grail”
Jay and Samsung partnered up for his next album entitled “Magna Carta Holy Grail”. The album is already platinum, samsung already bought a million copies. Jay is a business genius.

I'm sure they won't count toward official sales.

Awful name as well.

Album sales are counted by how many the record company sells to distributors and major companies directly, not by how many are bought in shops.

If Samsung buy a million copies and they only sell one it's still classed as a platinum album based on the record company selling a million to Samsung.

What happens to the other 999,999 copies is Samsungs problem.

I just read an article about this explaining it a bit more. They have to purchase the album for 1/3 of the Suggested Retail Price and Billboard currently does not recognize bulk sales which are then given for free. They only count Retailers that purchase in bulk with the intent of selling it.

Even after all of that is sorted out he still has to wait a month after the release date for RIAA certification to classify it Gold or Platinum depending on sales from retailers.

So does the title mean that he's attempting to limit his own powers via a search for something that doesn't exist?

Haha, Jay in the illuminati, that's funny. If the illuminati existed, the only black person who'd be in there would be Obama, haha!
