Target Won't Sell Frank Ocean's channel ORANGE Album

In the days since, he's remained in the headlines thanks to a powerful performance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and his equally impactful Channel Orange album, which has garnered near-universal acclaim from fans and critics alike. But Ocean's decision to release the album on iTunes Monday — one week ahead of its July 17 street date — may have caused a momentary lapse in all the goodwill. Because in doing so, he's run afoul of one of the nation's largest music retailers: Target.


According to Ocean's manager, Christian Clancy, the early release of Channel Orange means that Target will no longer stock the physical version of the album when it is released next Tuesday. Though, the way he sees it, that decision may also have something to do with his client's recent revelation. via MTV
