Madonna on iTunes Music Store
I was at an Apple store this weekend. I noticed in their displays about iTunes music store they have a bunch of CD covers hanging. Two of them are Madonna CD's Music and Ray of Light.
Do you think this signals that they are in negotiations and close to getting Madonna's music?
I think the lack of Madonna, the Beatles, and Rolling stones are a major weakness.

Don't know, just guessing, but what if they purposely held back a few major artists for a few weeks after release? That way they could say, "Look, in the first month we added Madonna, The Doors, and the Rolling Stones!"
now you're thinking like marketing folk!
Which one does not belong?

Madonna?
Back when the custom artist-engraved iPods came out, Madonna was one of them. I think this signals Apple and Madonna have been in some sort of discussions.
This was also when detailed information about the iTMS first surfaced in an anonymous posting on Slashdot. In any case, I don't think she's missing out of sheer oversight.

Shucks \ . I mean, that's... ummm... horrible.

However, for future singles driven pop acts, this does have the potential to squash a bit of their album sales potential.
It's a mebbe, mebbe-not type of thing. The next big boy band won't get my album dollars, or my singles dollars for that matter. Will the infatuated teeny bopper set buy only the "hits" or do they just gotta have every pre-pubscent 4 part harmony because their true fans?
I'm not too sure how this will affect the production values that go into some albums.

The reason the Beatles aren't on the iTunes Music Store is probably because all the rights to their music are owned by Micheal Jackson. Make of that what you will...
actually, someone corrected me on this before... he owns the publishing rights, not the distribution rights, i believe. publishing rights are for the use of the music in commercials, movies, etc. the ITMS deals wth distribution rights, which i believe are still under McCartney's control.
besides, there's plenty of MJ stuff up on the store... (mostly partial albums...)
