 On June 28, 2007, the "Mail on Sunday" stated that it had made a deal to give Prince's new album, "Planet Earth", away for free with the paper, making it the first place in the world to get the album.This move sparked controversy among music distributors and also led the UK arm of Prince's distributor, Sony BMG, to withdraw from distributing the album in UK stores.The UK's largest high street music retailer, HMV, stocked the paper on release day due to the giveaway.
