Example Releases Statement After Greatest Hits 'Abuse' - Blames Ministry Of Sound

Monday, 05 August 2013 Written by Elliott Batte

Example has released a statement about his - or his ex-record label’s - brand new ‘#hits’ compilation album, the release of which he claims was out of his control.

The star’s fans (and haters) have been publicly slamming the decision to release a compilation album so early in his career, and now he’s taken to Instagram to lay the issue at the door of his old label, Ministry of Sound.

“I am receiving lots of enquiries (and abuse!?) about the #hits compilation album being issued this week by Ministry Of Sound featuring all the singles from my last 3 albums. I wish to inform my fans that I have recently signed with a new record label - Sony/Epic. The decision to issue this compilation album therefore is not mine and totally beyond my control. Hence also why it doesn't include my new single 'All the Wrong Places'.

“So the various comments I am receiving regarding 'cashing in', 'bad timing' and 'undeserving of a greatest hits' please direct to Ministry. The official example greatest hits, if it ever happens will be much further down the line and if you are still following me then I will let you know about it! (Not gonna lie though – pretty good tracklisting).”

What do you think of the statement? Leave us a comment in the box below! You’ll also find Example's new single ‘All the Wrong Places’.
