Beyonce Wages All-Out War Against Target & Amazon, Gifts $37,500 Worth Of Giveaways To Christmas Shoppers In New England Walmart

Beyonce, one of the most iconic stars in this generation, loads up on the Christmas cheer this season when she steps into a Boston Walmart and shares US$37,500 worth of giveaways to the other shoppers.

The pop star chatted and hung out with other shoppers while picking up a Christmas gift for only daughter, Blue Ivy. Beyonce also picked up a copy of her newly-released self-entitled album during her trip to the New England store.

"It's exciting to see it in person," the R&B diva said as she looked over the record rack where her albums were displayed in a video of her visit. 
Beyonce gave a shoutout to the more or less 750 other shoppers after commandeering the Walmart store's intercom, saying "Its Beyonce and I stopped by the store today because my new record has arrived."

The "Love On Top" singer topped the visit off by giving all the shoppers an early Christmas gift by announcing that she'll pick up the first $50 of all the shoppers' tab. She wished everyone a "merry, merry Christmas" before leaving in a roomful of cheers from her Walmart fans.

In recent news concerning Beyonce's new album, nationwide chains Target and Amazon had refused to sell the CD version of Beyonce's latest album. This is in protest due to the fact that the diva first release her songs through iTunes, according to a source in Billboard.

Speculation had then risen regarding Beyonce's spontaneous Walmart visit in Tewksbury on Friday, which was now being regarded to as an act of all-out war against the two famous chainstores. 

Walmart had been long known as the most competitive rival of both Target and Amazon.

Beyonce recently gave iTunes a week-long exclusive right to sell her newest album, "Beyonce." iTunes sold 600,000 units of the album during the week-long period for US$15.99 each, resulting to a staggering total album sales of US$9.5 million.
