Columbia Records and TouchTunes will also bring Wyclef fans under one roof through a series of special listening parties at TouchTunes locations across the country, at least one of which will feature an appearance by Wyclef himself. TouchTunes' work with Wyclef and Columbia not only highlights the strength of its entertainment network, but also shows TouchTunes' ability to create excitement via specially designed events -- which bring listeners together for actual social network experiences.
Beginning last week, participating TouchTunes locations featured a series of on-screen billboards that created awareness for the album's first single, "Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)" as well as Wyclef's new documentary film, "Cry Haiti." Listeners were also able to respond to an interactive survey about the new album and had the opportunity to join Wyclef's fan club. Additionally, Wyclef's record label, Columbia Records, began distributing 50,000 co-branded post cards throughout its network of influencers across the country.
