the BS single in the UK is out March 13th, so I'm not sure if the song will be available on iTunes before then. Its up on the npgmc now, but I'm guessing you use Mac or whatever! smile

I think Island records are handling the UK release, and as such probably will run on a slightly different schedule than other places. They say they do have alot lined up though, and The Brits was just the start - I think a BBC Radio2 Live Session is being lined up, which would be fantastic.

See this previous thread "Black Sweat fails to crack UK chart":
http://www.prince.org/msg/7/179149

It appears that Black Sweat is not available for download form either the UK or Germany Itunes stores just yet. Besides which, it will only count for the charts if there is a physical single available also.
