Target To Distribute Aguilera's Greatest Hits

Christina Aguilera has become the latest musical act to release an album exclusively through one retailer.

The multiplatinum singer announced Wednesday that her greatest-hits CD "Keeps Gettin' Better — A Decade of Hits" will be released only at Target. The CD, out November 11, will feature two new songs as well as rerecorded versions of two other hits, "Genie in a Bottle" and "Beautiful."

Ms. Aguilera is following a growing list of acts who have struck exclusive deals with retailers. Wal-Mart has had huge success with similar deals with the Eagles, Journey, and Garth Brooks; AC/DC's October release of "Black Ice" will be available only at Wal-Mart, its affiliated Sam's Club, and the band's Web site. The Eagles' comeback album, "Long Road Out of Eden," was the third-best-selling CD of 2007, with 2.6 million copies sold.

Target exclusively released John Legend's "Live from Philadelphia" in January and has had other exclusive releases of special-edition albums by the likes of Alicia Keys and Carrie Underwood.
