Excellent. Let's try and encourage everyone to buy it.

 

Although we all have the song, lets hope that we all buy a copy. I plan to 'gift' the song to as many friends as I can. I know they'd never pay for it themselves. Any promotion is good.

Yeah, there's not really been any time for promo ahead of the release. I would expect it to get more attention on a wider scale next week after the Ross performance. A video would have been nice.

I lined them up to be sure, and the lengths are identical.  The iTunes version is very slightly shorter, but only because its cuts a half-second of silence from the end.

Quality-wise, there's not much in it.  The Christmas MP3 is a little quieter.  The iTunes version has a faint hiss during the fade-out, which could be because they re-encoded the original MP3, or because they boosted the volume. 

However, the original Christmas file looks on closer inspection as if it was transcoded up to 320kbps from a lower source, as most of the audio information cuts off around the 16000Hz mark.  The 256kbps iTunes file has a little more info in it, as it goes up to 20000Hz.  So, until we get a CD or vinyl release, the iTunes version is arguably higher quality.  

Christmas:

iTunes:

For comparison, this is what an average CD track should look like.  This is Like a Friend.  Note that even when quiet, the information goes right to the top... so you can see what must be missing in the MP3 and M4A files above!

Edited to correct a typo in the Hz's!

It's at 162 now, doing quite well. I wonder if it will go up even more at the end of the working day?

 

Edit: 155. I'd keep checking, but's its 2AM here. Good progress so far, though.

Maybe they weren't enjoying it in the right way? Anyway, I've found the chart on iTunes and it's at no. 136 at the moment.

Nice - the iTunes version credits Candida Doyle, Jarvis Cocker, Mark Webber, Nick Banks & Steve Mackey in full on the "composers" ID3 tag : )

Weirdly the iTunes download is 256kbps, even though the free Christmas version was higher quality at 320kbps.

Short answer: I already have it! Slightly longer answer: it was my reward for my night of hell in Sheffield, if I buy this I've got nothing to show for it.

Outstanding! I hope it's you and not Buller in the producer's chair for the full comeback.

I'm checking the UK iTunes charts and it's just entered at 200. Yes, it's still very low but the fact it's there excites me.

Thanks Stephen. I just checked US Amazon and it's not available until tomorrow, so maybe it will be on iTunes a day later too.

Well, in the iTunes store, click on Top Singles, it's on the right of the screen.

It's at 136 now, it's gaining speed!

I don't see that button. Is this on the itunes software, or a publicly accessible website?
