"Amazon will not stock physical copies of Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9&amp;#039;s fifth album following its exclusive release on iTunes. Earlier this week, Target announced that it would not be carrying Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 after the star issued a surprise release in an exclusive deal with Apple.  While Amazon.com will sell the MP3 version of the album, the CD version is not available from the online retailer, Billboard reports. There are copies available via third-party sellers on Amazon Marketplace.   Sources said that Amazon may take further action against Sony Music Entertainment and Columbia for giving preferential treatment to Apple in the shape of a week-long exclusive. Pre-sale orders were also banned for other retailers. Columbia and Amazon did not respond to Billboard&amp;#039;s request for comment. Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9&amp;#039;s self-titled album passed one million sales on Thursday (December 19), less than a week after release. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
