Van Toffler from MTV and Steve Barnett from Columbia weigh in on the reasons why this is a Wal-Mart exclusive.
"They rock hard, and that still works for our audience. It comes down to getting really great marketing, because Wal-Mart is so meaningful in terms of sales if they get behind something."
"If you want to be a physical band, you better make an alliance with a strong physical retailer. It’s a great way to sell the new album, the catalog, the game, merchandise and DVDs."
