When Jay Z's much anticipated new album "Magna Carta Holy Grail" was exclusively released to Samsung device users on July 4th, downloading the album didn't come without annoying glitches and requests which turned off some users. But this is to be expected with technology.
Problems began, writes John Jurgensen, when users experienced delays in downloading the music on and after midnight East Coast time. Frustrated, they closed and opened the app repeatedly, creating a backlog of data requests that swamped the company's servers, Colleen McDuffe, director of digital marketing for Samsung Telecommunications America, told the reporter. Samsung said that 1.2 million copies of the app were downloaded, but wouldn't say how many copies of the album have been successfully downloaded, only that the figure is "very close" to the 1 million allotted digital units.source HDD
