![]() Estelle has seen her latest album, 'Shine', and single 'American Boy', plummet in the US charts after they were removed from download site iTunes in the country. The Wall Street Journal reports that Estelle's record label, Warner, removed the releases from iTunes in an attempt to encourage fans to buy physical copies of them instead – which earn more money for the company. 'American Boy' had been sitting at number 11 in the US Billboard singles chart, but it fell to number 37 following its removal from iTunes. 'Shine' dropped to number 159 in the albums chart, after peaking at number 38. A spokesperson for Warner said that the move was part of strategies "uniquely tailored to each artist and their fanbase in an effort to optimise revenues and promote long-term artist development".

What a stupid decision! All record companies think about these days is money! No wonder why we have rubbish music in the charts now!
All they want is stupid catchy songs like Rhianna who will earn them loads of money. |

It's just pathetic really, it was doing so well in the US iTunes as well.

She was doing so well. The album is quite good. Her record company has screwed this up for her.

They should definitely reconsider, but by which point it might be too late.
