In response to initial reports, Frank Ocean has confirmed that Target will not carry his Def Jam debut Channel Orange.
Taking to Twitter, the Odd Future crooner wrote that the retail giant has abstained from selling his album when it hits physical retail on July 17th. “album won’t be available at target. blame it on a generational gap. best buy on deck though,” he wrote.
Target released a statement to Fuse earlier today explaining why it would not carry the album. “At Target, we focus on offering our guests a wide assortment of physical CDs, so our selection of new releases is dedicated to physical CDs rather than titles that are realized digitally in advance of the street date,” said a Target spokesperson. “Our assortment decisions are based on a number of factors, including guest demand. Target has a longstanding tradition of supporting music and artistry that reflects the diverse landscape of American culture.”
Channel Orange is projected to sell between 110,000 and 125,000 copies in its first week, based on iTunes digital sales alone.
good job target dont sell that faggots album!!!!
So you know Busta Rhymes supports Frank the homo right? Busta must be a loser too.
Did you also know Elton John’s albums are sold at Target? He’s an open homosexual.
You’re probably insecure cause you used to bump at least one of Frank Ocean’s songs hard until he came out.
busta sucks sooo bad. elton john paid them everyone knows that wtf you stupid
Everybody pays to have their albums put in stores for retail sale, dumbass.
Also, why’s Frank being gay sucha problem to you? Its not like he’s fucking you if you buy his music lmao
Real Talk…..who the fuck buys albums from Target?
um…alot of people….?
im sure you could you find multiple examples of the contrary to prove that target is full of shit.

I Still buy physical cd’s. the same way i still buy physical dvd’s and blu rays. easily the most ignorant comment ive read in a while. wow. what a moron.
I buy vinyl. MP3 sucks.
Fuck mp3
Fuck mp3, compact disc 4 live
I like to collect physical real items that I can touch and see and collect. Not to mention the quality of cd is far superior to any mp3 and player
Music is supposed to be loud fools turn it up and hear it
Bitch i still buy vinyl so what now ho
Until the day physical CDs become obsolete, I’ll still buy them.
MP3’s and CD’s I get better sound quality for my cassette player. Frank Ocean sounds best in a walkman. Sony all day bitch!
it isn’t him being bi or gay shut the fuck up. It has to do with his sales and they don’t think it will go over 100k (it will)
target sell alot of cds that dont go 100 k so what u on about?..

I go to Best Buy regardless so I honestly didnt care.
you’ve only got trailer trash at target so his art is still reaching anyone it might have value to
Target has a right not to carry his album…very dope album by the way! People do not have accept or agree with everything, remember there are still people who believe that blacks don’t belong here, and this gay shit is fairly new…
You are comparing the black experience to the gay experience…not the same no matter what…
Has any body thought they made this decision not based on sexuality but based on popularity…im sure thier corporate buyer has never heard of frank ocean and the black r&b pick was down between chris brown and frank ocean…
Dude should have just pulled a Luther and sold 10 million over his career. dude is too talented for these lil b gimmicks. alienated 70% of his fan base, bey can call it brave all she wants but she know her and hov aint smanging to dude on dude love soundtracks…
