AC/DC On Itunes
I see where AC/DC has finally given up and are now carrying all their albums on Itunes.
One of the last of the big name holdouts has woken up and realized this is 2012 not 1982. While most people have Highway to Hell and Back In Black in their collection, I've always been curious how much the rest of their catalog was selling.
One of the biggest contentions with these artists is that they want to sell their albums as a whole unit, not to be broken up by individual songs. But with AC/DC you can now make your own Greatest Hits album.
Not only were they holding out on Itunes, but they have yet to release a compilation. Not many artists left doing that either. Metallica come to mind.
Whose left when it comes to Itunes holdouts? There's still Garth Brooks. Eventually they will all come around, regardless of how rich they are. Once albums are no longer selling at Wal-Mart or Target or Best Buy, then the last of the holdouts will give in.
