TouchTunes Promotes Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Starting May 21, 2013, TouchTunes will feature Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ hit single, “Can’t Hold Us,” from their debut album, The Heist. Ben Haggerty, better known by the stage name Macklemore, began independently releasing music in 2000 and started working with producer Ryan Lewis in 2008. Their collaboration on the single “Thrift Shop” skyrocketed the duo to international fame; the song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, sold over 2 million copies and has been celebrated for over 300 million YouTube views. Their debut full length release, The Heist, came out in 2012 and shot to #1 on the US iTunes Albums chart just hours after its release. “Can’t Hold Us” is Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ follow up anthem and has been called a “massive summer hit.” The music video for the track premiered on April 17, 2013 and already has over 28 million views on YouTube.
Daft Punk Random Access Memories Now on TouchTunes
On May 21, 2013, TouchTunes will launch a national promotion for Grammy Award-winning duo Daft Punk’s highly anticipated new album, Random Access Memories. Eagerly awaited by the band’s fans for over eight years since their 2005 release, Human After All, Random Access Memories is Daft Punk’s fourth studio album and has already been met by critical acclaim. A departure from the band’s signature electronic approach, Random Access Memories echoes sounds from late 1970s American music and utilizes live instrumentation from session musicians. The album’s lead track, “Get Lucky,” features rap superstar Pharrell Williams and will surely become another triumph for Daft Punk.
