Kelly Clarkson's New Album Leaked Accidentally by Norwegian iTunes
Oops. The Norway division of Apple's iTunes service accidentally leaked Kelly Clarkson's entire new album, All I Ever Wanted. Rolling Stonereports that a pre-purchase error let Norway iTunes users download the entire album. It spread around the Internet from there.
Clarkson fans rejoiced earlier today when they noticed that Norwegian iTunes was streaming 30-second clips of each song on All I Ever Wanted, which is typical of the digital music service's pre-purchase preview. However, listeners soon realized that they could, due to an iTunes error, purchase the entire new album rather than just settle for snippets. And as things snowball quickly on the Internet, All I Ever Wanted was quickly distributed on P2P sites and message boards.
Kelly Clarkson's new album was suppposed to be released in March. The Amazon.com listing shows a release date of March 10th.
