‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ was thought to be going platinum ahead of its proper release because of a deal made with Samsung. However a spokesperson for the Official UK Charts company told NME that music which is given away for free does not qualify towards the Official Charts. “Legitimate purchases of Jay-Z’s album will count, however, as usual,” they added. One million copies of the album will be given away for free to Samsung Galaxy smartphone users 72 hours ahead of the record’s official release on July 4.
