The first artist to warrant a specially tricked-out Zune is … reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel, a Puerto Rican act who appeared on R. Kelly’s “Burn It Up” and who were the first act to place four singles in the top 10 of the Billboard Latin chart; the device will be sold at Wal-Marts beginning next week, and people who pick it up will be able to have the duo’s forthcoming album a week before street date. This space has given the no-longer-brown turd a hard time in the past, but this is actually a pretty shrewd move by the Zune marketing department–finally, a digital-music player that isn’t solely targeted to indie saddoes!
