Well you can "package" things all sorts of ways on iTunes: singles, buy by the song, albums, EP's (check out the Mac EPs sometime). But I think this approach would be really unique -- while fully utilizing the new ways of distributing music. I think my idea should be picked up by someone, even if not the Mac.

I'm not offended, though I am surprised. Did you know that only Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Donna Summer have sold more dance records in the US than The Pet Shop Boys? True story. The Pet Shop Boys have remained at the top of their game, as artists, during this decade after ruling the 90s (Very/Billingual being their peak). During this decade, they've probably released an album's worth of material every year. They've released five albums proper:
Closer to Heaven (2001) (the best musical soundtrack of my lifetime),
Release (2002) (which includes their ode to Fleetwood Mac: "Home & Dry" with guitar by Johnny Marr),
Disco 3 (2003),
Battleship Potemkin(2005) (a score to the silent film masterpiece), and
Fundamental (2006). This doesn't count their singles, b-sides, singles collections, Live album, and collaborations. They will be releasing a new album in the next year or so along with a score for a ballet.
Anyway, their work for other artists (as I cited above) are great (and some of it is available on their most recent release:
Disco 4 -- which I guess might count as some sort of album also! lol).
