Via the always reliable (ahem) New York Post:

Having already proven that it can sell other companies’ music, coffee giant Starbucks is planning to launch its own record label and is close to a deal for the next album from former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney to be its first release, according to sources familiar with the plans.

The formation of Starbucks Records, as the unit is expected to be called, could be announced as soon as this week, according to these sources.

I guess we all knew this was coming, but I never thought Paul McCartney would be the first sell his soul.

Shame on you, mate!
