HMV Pulls Alanis Morissette In Protest Of Her Starbucks Deal
After Alanis Morissette’s label, Maverick Records, chose to give Starbucks exclusive rights to her 10th anniversary acoustic edition of ‘Jagged Little Pill’ for the first six weeks of its release, HMV, the largest music chain in Canada, pulled the singer’s records from its shelves in protest. “My intention certainly was not to ruffle feathers in that department although it’s inevitable obviously,” Morissette told the Boston Herald. “I have had a really sweet and positive relationship with retailers my entire career.”
