iTunes software. The top of the main store page should have ads about songs, movies, etc. Below that on the right there should be a small section called Quicklinks. Below that is Top Singles. Clicking on Top Singles brings up the full list.
Interesting that the two or three Youtube uploads of the song have been pulled. They had at least 50K views last time I checked a couple of weeks ago. I guess it's a good way to gauge reception and then have them taken down when they feel there's enough interest to put it out there officially.
I wonder if the band are in any way pissed off about the reporting of it as an old song re-recorded. I guess that's our fault, right?!
Aside from the quality, is it different? Longer? Shorter?
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.
Ask a simple question, get a superbly detailed answer! Thanks a lot!
115 now. I looked on the promotions bit and clicked on singles and there it was, first in the list. Hard to know if this is general or targetted at my known likes, but as most of the the offerings were from something called Glee, which I've heard is similar to High School Musical, this seems unlikely. Though actually, we only have one iTunes account for the family and my daughter likes High School Musical.

Blimey that iTunes chart messes with your head. I expected it to be a list of the hottest tunes on the Hit Parade but it's full of totally random songs. How is it possible for a brand new track from Pulp to be lower in the charts than New Kids On The Block and only just ahead of the Proclaimers? I don't think I'm going to look at it anymore.
"Everybody Loves Jarvis, would make for a great TV show. You cant say anything bad about Jarvis. You just have to accept that he exists and bop your head and maybe put your handbag/manbag down and have a little dance. I mean, you definitely could never-ever say that the result of him teaming up with James LCD SOUNDSYSTEM Murphy sounds a bit like a Franz Ferdinand album track."

Well they really do come across as bellends don't they?! It's not even a well-written, provocative review, but reads more like someone's had a shit Monday morning and wants to sit and scowl at the world.
An I like FF anyway!
I'm downloading now because the band deserve my money, a superb song!

Franz Ferdinand album tracks are quite brilliant! The Outsiders, Jacqueline, Bite Hard, Lucid Dreams...
