No iTunes Christmas present for me :(

I hope you all managed to get the free iTunes download today.

Unfortunately, as I predicted, it was not available over here for those of us with a UK iTunes account :(

This would have been a great opportunity to promote Salem to a worldwide audience, however I notice that various countries are offering different downloads by different artists so I guess that it wasn't going to happen this time.

I also noticed on iTunes tonight that "Ignore This" is one of the featured albums on the iTunes homepage in Sweden, Norway and Finland. This will probably have helped the album to climb the iTunes album charts again in Sweden (currently at no. 24) and in Norway (no.61)

"Live @ Katalin" free on iTunes - 4th January

iTunes is currently running a "12 Days of Christmas" promotion where they are giving away free songs, EPs and games between 26th December and 5th January.

What really got me excited was the free giveaway on the 4th of January - Salem live @ Katalin. I guess it will probably be "Keep On Walking" and "It's Only You (Part II)" if this link is anything to go by: http://itunes.apple.com/se/album/live-katalin-single/id408029662

I'm not sure if these songs will only be available or on iTunes worldwide - what a great opportunity this would be to introduce a worldwide audience to Salem's music. I'll let you know on 4th January if I was able to get my free downloads :)

EDIT 30.12.2010: those of us outside Sweden probably won't be able to get this download: I tried to get the Tove Styrke one tonight but it wasn't available because I don't live in Sweden :(((
