Subblime, a new online hub for YouTube stars to shared products they love (and generate revenue in the process), launched publicly on Tuesday. The site has been in a private beta stage for months. It has already drawn YouTube creators like Elle Walker and Kristina Horner to publish lists of their favorite items.

Fans who join Subblime immediately subscribe to their favorite YouTubers’ lists and can choose to favorite it or buy it.

“My number one customer is the content creator on YouTube and my goal for them is to help them grow their business,” said co-founder and CEO Adam Winnick, noting that everyone on YouTube is looking for additional revenue streams to buttress the influx of ad dollars.

Winnick made frequent analogies to examples in traditional media such as “The Biggest Loser,” which made a lot of its money from integrating fitness apparel and dietary supplements into the fabric of the show.

Samsung has purchased 1 million copies of Jay-Z’s coming album, entitled “Magna Carta Holy Grail,” slated for release July 4, and plans to give them to Samsung Galaxy smartphone users for free – 72 hours ahead of the release. The users are to receive the music through an app they’ll receive later this month. (Recipients won’t be able to share it until the official release date.)

Samsung paid $5 apiece for the albums, according to a person familiar with the matter. It wasn’t immediately clear if Nielsen SoundScan will count Samsung’s purchases in its sales tallies.

For Jay-Z, the deal is a precious advertising opportunity and gives him $5 million in sales before the album is even released. The agreement signals the increasing importance of corporate sponsors to the music industry, which has seen sales tank over the past decade.
