Hey everyone!
An hour ago, Brian Wilson's Facebook status asked this question:
"Question for everyone: Do you have/use iTunes?"
I just checked iTunes and nothing new for the Beach Boys came up...but perhaps they're getting ready to release the single and it will be on iTunes?

According to someone who would know.
Seriously, there was a Beach Boys Love You condom?! Amazing.

I don't think they are the ones asking. The marketing folk who run the page want to know if the geezer fans are hip to it. |

I doubt the record company pays anybody to have iTunes send them a list of how many copies of what songs were sold. Though they DO pay people to lurk message boards, so you never know. |

You don't think they're tracking sales? The best research they can come up with is to ask people on facebook and BW.com if they use iTunes? If that is true, maybe it's no wonder record labels are crashing

I didn't say they weren't tracking sales, but I doubt Capitol has "highly paid people who track exactly how much Beach Boy product is sold" because Apple/iTunes already keeps track of that stuff. It's a store, so of course they know exactly how many copies of what is sold. Requires no "tracking" on the part of anybody because a computer does it.

I think this may be partly meant as a teaser. Rather than simply saying “A new single will be on iTunes”, they are asking who uses iTunes. Sort of like asking “Who has room on their shelf for a new Beach Boys CD?” rather than stating a new CD is coming out.
While they may gather some sort of info from responses to this question from fans, I don’t think the responses will determine whether they put the song on iTunes. Most anything new now gets put on iTunes. Even if they determined BB fans are old and want a physical CD, the song would still also appear on iTunes.

I don't have i-Tunes. I don't have one of those i-Lids or whatever they're called. I don't want, need or have a mobile phone. I want a fysical phormat.

They have a direct link to consumers, a few are answering more in depth. You don't think that's useful? Of course they're tracking sales, but Facebook is a great resource too |

I have it/one, but I refuse to buy music digitally. Everything on my iPod is on a CD somewhere in my house, and very likely on vinyl too. |

I don't have Itunes. I don't think it's so much that rather than the fact that iTunes is, at the very least, the biggest music retailer in the U.S. So it does sort of date whoever asked the question. |

Please correct me if I'm wrong but since iTunes started to exist there hasn't been any "new" Beach Boys product to know how it would sell.  |

They're releasing the Grammy performance on iTunes. That may be why they're asking.

I rarely buy anything but vinyl because I just think that anyone can make a CD or download.

The song itself? Or the video of the performance? The Grammy video was on itunes within a week after the performance. |
