Jay-Z’s album is selling better after Glastonbury

Jul 05, 2008 - Jay-Z’s album sales have experienced a near five-fold boost after his triumphant Glastonbury performance, it has been confirmed. The rapper’s appearance on the Pyramid Stage at the legendary Somerset festival had provoked much controversy, with many critics citing his booking as the reason for slower ticket sales for this year’s event while Oasis’ Noel Gallagher said a hip-hop artist performing was “wrong”. But having wowed the Glastonbury crowds on Saturday night - including a tongue-in-cheek cover of Gallagher’s Wonderwall - sales of Jay-Z’s The Black Album have increased by some 480 per cent during and after the festival. - 0 Comments
