Jay-Z AM

A HOLY GRAIL OF AN UPDATE: Despite widespread insistence from biz talkers in the media that the Samsung giveaway of Jay-Z's forthcoming album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, would not count toward his first-week sales figure, reliable sources tell us that talks about this very subject are ongoing. Of course, we don't know where in the world those 1 million free downloads (through an app accessible only to Galaxy S III and IV phones and Note II tablets) will take place when the album is "unlocked" on July 4 at 12:01am. Read more about the Roc Nation/IDJ record that's already spicing up the summer—and the $20-30m promotional deal behind it—here. (6/18a)
