There are quite a few fan made versions hitting Youtube. They are obviously sampled, edited and looped. I love that classic Nile Rodgers guitar sound. Reminiscent of 70's Chic/Sister Sledge.

Nile :love: such a genius.

[Mrluvaluva]

There was an interesting documentary about him a couple of weeks ago on the BBC. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

Love it.

Has the official, full version of Daft Punk’s new single finally arrived? There seems to be confusion over authenticity still. Earlier today, Edmonton radio station Sonic 102.9 posted a “radio edit” of “Get Lucky”. The track was pulled shortly thereafter, but now as Dancing Astronaut points out, a Dutch radio station just aired the same version on their airwaves.

Moments ago, Amazon.com posted a listing for “Get Lucky”, revealing the artwork above and a release date of April 19th. The track time for the radio edit is 4:08, which ties in with the track posted earlier.

[Shaun]

i'm really confused :laugh: i'll wait til they put the video on youtube to d/l it

[Shaun]

probably gonna buy it for real when it's released anyway :p

[Mrluvaluva]

I love the track anyway and it sounds pretty authentic to me. It's not looped like previous efforts and seems to contain all the vocals. I am sure it will be all over the shop by tomorrow.

[Roy Mars III]

I like this

from pitchfork

Tonight at midnight eastern time, we will finally, at long last, get a full, official new song from Daft Punk. As MTV reports and a representative confirms, "Get Lucky", the Pharrell/Nile Rodgers collaboration teased during the commercial that aired during Coachella and "Saturday Night Live", will be available to download at 12:01 a.m.

does sound like these aren't quite official then :laugh:

[Z]

Well, this sounds good from the preview, I'll buy the full song when it's out!

[Mrluvaluva]

I see the Soundcloud leak was taken down. This was the full track version.

She’s up all night ’til the sun
I’m up all night to get some
She’s up all night for good fun
I’m up all night to get lucky

[Z]

Hope the final version sounds similar, this is a great track. Pharrell and Daft Punk are both criminally underrated.

[Shaun]

full song~

(not an official video but still)

Glad to see this has shot up the iTunes chart immediately, it's at #2 atm!

[Z]

Just bought my copy :pipe:

[Black Dagger]

This is... :dance:

Hope it doesn't flop s0b.

[*mazedsalv**]

It's #1 on Itunes already!!! :shocked: and #3 on US itunes :p

Rudimental looked like they would take the #1 on Sunday, but according to the Itunes popularity bars, DF are going to be unstoppable. It is also the fastest single to hit #1 on Itunes in a couple of years I heard. (excluding James Arthur maybe).

Really good song. The disco/funk just reminds me of a mix of the 1970s-early 90s music.

[Jake.]

Really like this :D

[Black Dagger]

OK, well I don't have to worry about them flopping then :joker:

[Shaun]

just bought it :love:

Daft Punk's new single has stormed iTunes charts across the world since its release this morning (April 19).

The French duo have teamed up with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers for 'Get Lucky', which is the first full cut to be lifted from their upcoming album Random Access Memories.

The track has shot straight to number one on the main iTunes sales chart in the UK, while they have currently risen to number three in the US.

'Get Lucky' vaulted to number one in the band's homeland France as well, and has also reached the summit on the Irish iTunes singles chart.

It is currently number four in Germany, number two in Australia and number seven in Canada.

[Harry!]

I love this song! I much prefer some of their slower songs (Something About Us, Digital Love) to their classic dance tracks. Great tune.

[reece(:]

I love this!!:dance:

[Benjamin]

Would be nice for them to get a number one after all these years.

-remembers when 'One More Time' was robbed by that stupid bitch Leann Rimes 'Can't Fight The Moonlight' by a few hundred copies-

[Beastie]

Groovy song. Hope it gets to #1!

[Z]

Glad this is doing well! Much deserved!

Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' has broken numerous Spotify records on its first day of release.

The duo's comeback, which features Pharrell Williams, has scored the greatest number of first-day global streams in Spotify's history.

'Get Lucky' is the first single to be lifted from their upcoming fourth studio album Random Access Memories. The LP is their first full studio album since 2005's Human After All.

The track also scored the most single day streams in Spotify's history in the US and UK.

In the US, Daft Punk broke the one-day streaming record previously set by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's 'Thrift Shop'. In the UK, they beat the record set by Bastille's 'Pompeii'.

'Get Lucky' raced to the top of the UK iTunes charts after it was released yesterday morning (April 19).

It also beat the Spotify record in the US for the most first day streams for a song. That record was set by Justin Timberlake's 'Pusher Love Girl' earlier this year.

Will Hope, director of label relations at Spotify, said: "There was never any doubt that the first original single from Daft Punk in years was going to be one of the biggest debut singles of 2013.

"The robots have once again shown themselves to be true innovators, not only with their new musical direction and the stellar cast of collaborators they're working with, but also by undertaking one of the best album campaigns we've seen for some time.

"We expect the album to become one of the biggest, if not the biggest, on Spotify this year."

[Shaun]

Pretty surprising really, it's been a good few years since their last outing so I was expecting their fans to have kinda moved on or got too old to keep up with new music :laugh: glad they've kept their appeal though.

[Mrluvaluva]

Entered the chart at no. 3 today in the UK.

[bbfan1991]

Really catchy:).

[Shaun]

hope it manages to stay on top for a while and contend for next week's :(

[Jords]

Dont find it very interesting tbh

[Mrluvaluva]

Rudimental sold 107,000 copies to get to the number 1 spot this week. Daft Punk sold 50,000 copies in 48 hours. I think they could do quite well next week with radio airplay.

[Shaun]

:amazed: pretty good. Shall probably stick in the top five regardless.

[Z]

Yeah I see this going to #1 definitely

[Shaun]

When do charts close for the week btw? Is it midnight Saturday? (Just cause you said 48 hours and it was released midnight Thursday IIRC)

[Mrluvaluva]

The chart week runs from 00:01 Sunday to midnight Saturday. It was released @ 00.01 on Friday so had Friday and Saturday sales.

[Joelle.]

Love this, its so funky! :dance:

Glad it hasn't gone straight to number one, it would burn out quicker. It'll probably hang in the top 5 for weeks and creep up at some point (hopefully - not great when you get beaten to No 1 by Leann Rimes AND Rudimental) :amazed:

[Jords]

...I love it now

[Shaun]

still at #1 on iTunes, looking good for #1 on Sunday...

[King Gizzard]

i don't really get the hype :shrug:

[Jordan.]

[Mrluvaluva]

And so the mashup's begin...

[Shaun]

this would've been the perfect MJ comeback :(

[*mazedsalv**]

#1 on the Update Chart and has been on top of the Itunes since it's release.

According to the last 3 days (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) it has sold 60,000. So far it has sold 110,000 because they sold 50k in the first 2 days. By the end of the week I predict it will sell over 100,000 in this first full week. If they achieve this, then they would have sold 150,000+ in just 9 days!

[Loukas]

I love this song!! Should deffo get number 1!!!

Sam Sparro's version is also very good! It's just an amazing song

[Mrluvaluva]

I am not that keen on Sam Sparro's version. It's ok. I quite like this mash up with JT..

I think this is brilliant.

[Mrluvaluva]

Daughter are really good. Elena Tonra has a fantastic voice.

[Black Dagger]

Great cover, need to listen to more of Daughter.

[Mrluvaluva]

There's another couple of tracks posted here. (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213639&highlight=daughter)

[Shaun]

likely to grab a third week at #1, but can see Macklemore grabbing it next week.

[Saph]

I don't like this song, but I'd rather this be #1 than macklemore..

[*mazedsalv**]

The song is unstoppable, It has so far sold 427,000 in less than 3 weeks. By Sunday it will be over half a million!

[Mrluvaluva]

Daft Punk have stayed at number one for a third week with 'Get Lucky'.

The electronic duo broke the 100,000 copies barrier for a third week running, shifting 123,000 copies in its fourth week in the chart, and just under the half-million sales mark.

Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' has become the first single released in 2013 to sell a million copies in the UK.

The disco hit, which features Pharrell Willliams and Chic's Nile Rodgers, is the 136th single to shift a million in the the 60-year history of the UK Singles Chart. It crossed the 1m mark in its 69th day of release, the Official Charts Company announced today (June 28).

"The fact that 'Get Lucky' has sold a million copies in the UK is one thing, but to do it in 69 days?! I'm awestruck," Nile Rodgers told OfficialCharts.com. "When I think how it happened, too, with people who I like a lot, that we just decided to go into the studio and do something… And then it turns out like this? It's absolutely remarkable, because no-one was prepared for this!"

Continuing, Rodgers went on to explain that the global success of 'Get Lucky' is unlike anything he's experienced in his five-decade recording career. "I've had big records and Number Ones; I have had records that were Number One in the United States but nowhere else… I've had records which have done well [in the UK], but not in the States. But to have this ubiquitous record, that is a hit everywhere… It's amazing to me! I'm out on the road and I can hear it wherever I go. I'm flabbergasted!" he said.

wow. 3 months.

trawling thru old threads and saw this and it got me thinking about some of the great covers I've seen of this on youtube.

My two faves
