Amazon.com Launches 'Artist Stores' Based on 360 Business Model

[mr.shadeed]

Amazon.com recently launched Artist Stores, which is loosely based on the all-in-one artist experience that will soon dominate the music business.


How Does It Work??
On an artist page, it list t-shirts, books, and posters related to the artist that can be purchased as well.
Amazon.com is already an online leader and other online music stores don't offer such a broad product base to compete with Amazon.

Artist bio and video, photo, and song recommendations are offered via SoundUnwound - which is a joint offering between IDMB and Amazon, which allows fans to edit artist info like Wikipedia.com

Here are some examples of Amazon Artists Stores that are currently available.
