But every week they have deals on new releases for 99 center or $1.99 and then they have 2 catagories of albums for example 80's hits or box sets for 1.99 (they change every week). last week I got  Nick Jonas' debut for 99 cents

Whoops--my bad. XBOX MUSIC app is in the play store, but this particular hasn't made it way over yet. You can still find it on the Windows Phone store and Windows Store on Windows 8.1.

Who sees all 50 box sets and 100 albums? I'm on an 8.1, and all I see are 50 albums and 28 box sets. Did they go back on part of the promotion, or am I doing something wrong?

Needless to say, I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, because there are a lot of solid albums I've already been able to add to my collection.

Exactly. Never thought I'd get a Kerry Perry or Lana Del Rey album...DELUXE EDITION...for free.

I am at work but I'll check on those box sets when I get home.

rimetm I think these have a first come first serve basis or limited about of download/copies they sell at these low prices because mine currently says +25 more now. There were a lot more earlier in the week. My theory at least.

FO FREE!!

Mariah's Merry Christmas II You is 1.99 too!!!

[Relaxing Cup]

aaaaaand, the freebies section is gone. THanks for the gifts, Microsoft!


I just bought Merry Christmas II You for 1.99. I am patiently waiting for TINASHE'S AQUARIUS to be added to the music deals app...I have a prediciton it'll be added by the end of the year. In which case, I will definately buy it.

[Relaxing Cup]

I predict Nicki Minaj's new album will be deal of the week....

[Relaxing Cup]

As part of the 12 deals of Christmas Microsoft has been doing, tomorrow a 1 year XBOX Music Subscription will be 29.99. Usually valued at 99.99.

Nope. I used to, but now I have this beauty, in green. Lumia 930.





So I got the 12 months of XBOX Music for 29.99 deal. Couldn't be happier, but QUESTION: Does anyone know if streaming, even though you purchased the pass, will count for Billboard chart positions?

[@DjKingBee]

I got XBOX music for 49.99 couldnt make it to a store for the 29.99 deal
But yeah do the streams count toward Hot 100?

49.99 for a whole year is still 50% off, you got a great deal.

I feel like streaming should count. I just don't know for sure if streaming counts on, for example, a spotify subscription. The spotify subscription works in the same way that the Xbox Music subscription does (I don't know if they're able to download songs). If we can get a confirmation that streaming on spotify subscription counts for BB, it will surely count on an XBOX MUSIC subscription too.
