Eminem

Eminem's new album was announced by a "2013" listed on a new baseball cap in a row of dates corresponding to all of his albums. It's so subtle, we don't even know if it was intentional!

Lady Gaga

Who could forget Lady Gaga and her dress made of meat?
Snoop Dogg

Recently Snoop Dogg announced that his next album will be a reggae album. He also announced his name change . . . give it up for Snoop Lion!
Michael Jackson

To promote MJ’s “HIStory” album, Sony spent $30 million floating huge statues down nine rivers throughout Europe.
Ke$ha

Thanks to some clever video editing, many people were convinced that Ke$ha had actually trashed the Hollywood sign!
50 Cent

50 Cent tried to boost sales of his album by saying he’d quit music if Kanye West’s album beat his on the sales charts. It did. Fiddy hasn’t quite gotten out of the music game yet tho'…
Prince

Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol because of a legal dispute with his label. Instead, everyone just called him “The Artist Fomerly Known as Prince.”
The Sex Pistols

The Sex Pistols signed their record deal with A&M outside of Buckingham Palace; pretty cheeky, considering the vitriolic lyrics of “God Save the Queen"!

Eminem has announced that he will have a new album out in 2013 — with a baseball cap. Though no title or official date has been revealed, and the rapper’s representatives have not commented, it would appear that the announcement is legitimate.

The tribute hat went on sale on Monday and is available through Eminem’s website and modelled in honor of his home team, the Detroit Tigers. Along the side are the words “World Champion,” and underneath that are a series of dates: one for every Eminem solo album, running from 1996 (“Infinite”) until 2010 (“Recovery”). And then, after that, there is a “2013.” Either that’s an error, or a new solo album is on the way!

If a new album is on the way, this will be Eminem’s eighth solo album. His seventh, “Recovery,” sold 741,000 copies in its first week and featured guest appearances by Rihanna, P!nk and Lil Wayne.

I don't see that as weird in comparison to his lyrics on quitting rap.

I can care less who has the "Weirdest Musical PR Stunt." I'm just wondering what's so "weird" about wearing a baseball cap?!? Hasn't baseball caps; sometimes worn backwards or under a hoodie, been an Urban fad for some time now?!?

The best pulicity stunt was when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's award to proclaim that "Beyonce has the best video in the world."

P.S. I voted Sex Pistols to comment.
