Someone suggested that I start a thread for this topic.
Each week I'll post the albums that are on sale at Target and Best Buy. I'll get the info from the circulars that are in the Sunday paper.
If you get up early Sunday mornings and want to post the info, please do.
Does Walmart do a circular? I don't think it features new music in the circular
Target:
None listed this week.
Best Buy:
On sale for $9.99:
Adele, 21 Incubus Big Sean Wiz Khalifa Ledisi

Walmart doesn't. This is a great idea, thanks for taking the initiative to start the thread. :)

Walmart did have local ads, but they apparently stopped. The site says they will return at the end of the month, though.

It'd be great to include digital and CD Amazon.com sales too.

The Best Buy offer is very enticing (and I haven't bought a CD since January 2010, strictly AmazonMP3 for me nowadays), any idea of the titles they are selling for that price? Maybe they're trying to clear out some of their catalog albums...

Maybe they're trying to clear out some of their catalog albums... Yeah, looks like mainly catalog stuff. Titles listed in the advertisement are: Aerosmith - Classics Live Bob Dylan - Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 Elvis Presley - An Afternoon In The Garden Michael Jackson - Blood On The Dancefloor and a bunch of a 20th Century Masters Greatest Hits collection from artists like Barry White, George Strait, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

excellent strategy for "Watch the Throne". Discounting in the 3rd week should really soften the drop.

Do retailers select the titles that are part of a widespread albums sale, or do labels play a role in that? That iTunes list led me to the inquiry.

^I'm sure the label. They have to ship enough copies to cover the sale.
Nothing in the Target/Best Buy circulars this week.

Femme Fatale was priced at $3.99 yesterday on Amazon.com and reached #3 on the Top MP3 album chart, hope that gives the album a nice little sales boost.
