Just thought i'd share that "Barricade" has become Interpol's #1 most popular track on iTunes!
Also, Lights is 5th, beating PDA, NARC, C'mere, and The Heinrich Maneuver. Great job Interpol, hopefully the new album will sell well :)

I don't know how that stuff is calculated (in other words, over what time period), but it's interesting anyway.

I'd imagine it's in the last week, which would make sense considering it's new and all that.

Is it really that shocking?

Old-time fans will either have there discography (and only need Barricade)
new fans will "easily" just buy this one teaser to get to know Interpol.
Besides that, it's just an amazing single. It's way catchier (I said catchier, not better people, hold your horses) then Lights.

As far as the OLTA era, I believe Heinrich was offered for free on their website, (Same goes for Lights).

I think iTunes is used by alot of people, to just download a single/song instead of whole albums. This outcome is no suprise for me.

I heard it and rewatched my recording from David Letterman and was not impressed at all.

it's a good health indicator at least.
But I'll never exchange my 'Leif' for a 'Barricade'.

I don't think Barricade is that good really.

Yeah I think its calculated over a limited period of time, not sure whether its a week or 2 weeks or more

I find the tune very catchy and way better than HM, but its definitely not my favorite of the 4 new songs I've listened to so far. But again, this time I'm not overplaying the new songs. I just want to make the most of the album experience. So I may change my mind once I get to listen to my physical copy of the album in September

I'm just so glad they're getting the recognition that is due to them. Barricade is a very good song, it brings me back to TOTBL.

I'm not a huge fan of "Barricade". I think it's a catchy song just not a memorable one. But I'm happy that it's doing so well on Itunes and that it hopefully leads to good album sales for the guys.

I'm exactly the same, and Interpol have been my favourite band for a little over two years now, so all their songs were new to me at first. Therefore this is the first time I experience a new album too, and i'm over playing insanely, I do TRY to stop, I really do. ;)

I don't like Barricade at all, I listen to it and try to find things in it that I like but I just can't force myself to like it because it certainly does not compare to other Interpol songs.

Was strange to hear it for the first time on the radio today. We had just put on the radio in the car for the first time in months when we heard the intro drum beat. We looked at each other and simultaneously screamed INTERPOL! :blush:

yup! same here.... I'm steering clear of all leaks and not listening to the few tracks that have been made available by the band... I want to engulf myself in the new album when it comes out. :)

Good girl ;). Honestly, I hadnt even overplayed the new available songs either (Lights, Barricade, Summer Well and Success) and it was magic when I heard them live the other day in Chicago. I knew them enough to recognise them, but not being 100% familiar with them (yet) made me enjoy them even more
