Amazon Offering Hit Albums for $5.00

You can’t buy a whole lot for five bucks these days, but an August promotion at Amazon.com is seriously increasing the power of a five spot. The company regularly offers a selection of around 50 MP3 albums at the low price point of $5.00, but for the month of August, Amazon is applying that same discount to 1000 top titles, including several top country releases.

In fact, until the end of August, you can choose from an impressive and extensive library of pop, rock, alternative, greatest hits, country, dance, classical, and other genres.

From Keith Urban to Laura Bell Bundy to Blake Shelton to Lady Antebellum to Eric Church, the list makes some of country’s best-selling albums available for a song. Also on the list are releases from Huey Lewis, Lady Gaga, The Bee Gees, Thelonious Monk, Belle & Sebastian, Coldplay, Radiohead, John Coltrane. Brahms and Shakira, to name a few.

Amazon’s MP3 albums are encoded without the use of DRM, and the required Amazon Downloader can automatically add tracks to your iTunes or Windows Media Player library. For more information visit www.amazon.com.
