Jay-Z pulled 'American Gangster' from iTunes because he didn't want people to buy just 1 track!

American Gangster is the tenth studio album by Jay-Z and his 1st studio album to be pulled from iTunes. His reason for removing this album from one of the world’s most popular online music store was, in his own words, “as movies are not sold scene by scene; this collection will not be sold as individual singles.” Essentially, Jay-Z felt that American Gangster tells a story that doesn’t deserve to be picked apart.

The album was made available for digital download, in it's entirety, on Amazon and Rhapsody. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, sold 425,861 copies it's first week, and tied with Elvis for the second most U.S number-one albums. Rolling Stones even named it the best album of 2007. So there you go; if the story’s good, people will listen.
