/ world today news/ Fans of Whitney Houston, who died a few days ago, forced the record company Sony to lower the price of her hit album The Ultimate Collection, Russian media write.
Just an hour after the news of the great star’s death, the price of the compilation jumped from 8 to nearly 13 dollars.
The music giant’s move has angered Whitney’s fans as the increase is around 60 percent.
Hours after the famed compilation was dropped, it reached number two on iTunes, with music fans commenting on Sony’s move as a cynical attempt to capitalize on the sad news of the 48-year-old Houston’s death.
The CD was first released in 2007 and features the singer’s greatest hits.
