Postal Service Video Top of the Pops at iTMS

Postal Service Top of the Pops

Worth noting quickly: The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights” video is number one on the iTunes Music Store.

Postal Service may be unhappy with Apple about the shot-for-shot creation of their video made for Apple’s Intel Mac commercial, but the resulting attention has led to that video, originally released in 2003, being the #1 download on Apple’s iTunes Music Store.

I wonder how much they actually get from the $1.99 download.

Apple has been making “Such Great Heights” a featured video on the music store front page of late. I think that is the reason for the high ranking and not any controversy surrounding the video/commercial link.

To be honest, shortly after this whole drama started, I went on to iTunes to find music by The Postal Service to see what exactly they were about, having seen their video and liking the music.
The high ranking seems too coincidentally timed to be by accident, I think. iTMS didn’t have the video when I first checked, and then they added it after the controversey got around. That’s cause and effect in my reckoning.
As for The Postal Service’s new-found fame and publicity, well let’s just say that in this case even Apple’s farts smells rosy.
