Starbucks iTunes Pick of the Week list



Share
Updated 08/28/2011 - While the Starbucks iTunes Pick of the Week program has been expanded to include other types of content, it appears that the Pick of the Week Song is still available every week as a digital download.

Updated 08/23/2011 - The Pick of the Week program has expanded to include Apps, extended samples of books on the iBookstore, TV shows, and more from iTunes as well as free music download cards.

During fall of 2007, Starbucks distributed a Song of the Day. Each music card allowed the customer to download from iTunes a special Song of the Day at no cost. Starbucks started a similar program called Pick of the Week in April of 2008.

There is a Flickr photo set of all of the Starbucks iTunes Pick of the Week cards here.

Material distributed so far include:

  1. Thanks for the list. I'm collecting these and today a Starbucks had two more, both songs: "Madly" by Tristan Prettyman, and "Jacqueline" by James Hunter. Both expire Sept. 15th. I'm not sure if this store is putting them out early or what.

  2. Thank you for your list. I am also collecting the Picks of the Week but my local Starbucks doesn't always give them out on time. Luckily, the barristas make all past non-expired Picks available and don't care if I take an extra one or two to update my collection. Your list lets me know what I'm missing or if I'm up to date. Thanks again and please keep it up. - Asheville, NC

  3. Last week, I picked up "Alright"
    by Ledisi and today I got "El Arbol" by Ersi Arvizu. I got them
    at different Starbucks, so it is
    not the obvious case of a single
    store mixing up their stock.

  4. Just so you know, we've got some special ones in Chicago for Lollapalooza (Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings - 100 Days, 100 Nights/Newton Faulkner - To the Light/Jamie Lidell - Jim)....but we're still checking your list to make sure we've got all the regular ones - thanks! I think many of the stores are not following the order.

  5. does anyone know when they are ending this?
    ReplyDelete
  6. We also have some special ones in Austin in support of Austin City Limits. The one I picked up today (9/14) is "War Hero" by Antibalas. The card looks like the others except it has an Austin City Limits logo in the upper left corner of the card (below the Pick of the Week red banner. This is the first one I've seen like this.
    ReplyDelete
  7. We also had a "The Hotel Cafe Tour 2008" here in Atlanta. Not sure if they're US Wide, but it was a week ago... 4 songs - Ingrid Michaelson, Thao Nguyen, Kate Havnevik and Meiko

  8. Starbucks is also doing a similar promotion in Canada. I have picked up 3 cards so far from there as well.

    City & Colour -- Constant Knot,
    Kathleen Edwards - Asking for Flowers
    Ron Sexsmith - Poor Helpless Dreams

  9. I just wanted to applaud you for your diligence and efforts in documenting your collection as it appears to be quite a handy reference and help for others out there - myself included. I actually collect these, as well as Starbucks gift cards as well. There is an internet group primarily focused on the collecting of gift cards: www.giftcardcollector.com. A member of this group had asked that SOMEONE please document via discussion forum threads the releases of these iTunes / Starbucks cards. The discussion forum thread which includes all the stats on each of the cards as well as scanned card images can be found here as well for anyone out there wanting images which Mr. Heringer might not have access to (such as the Hotel, Lollapalooza, etc.): http://www.giftcardcollector.com/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=26&func=view&id=14510&catid=10&limit=10&limitstart=0

    Happy hunting and collecting everyone!!!!!

  10. Sometimes, the baristas leave a white card listing the week's artist and dates along with the Pick of the Week cards. I assume these are to help them track distribution, but I take the white cards if I see them! I was lucky enough to get the white cards for the Chicago Lollapalooza cards so I can verify the dates they were distributed with certainty:

    7/29/08 - LOLLAPALOOZA: Newton Faulkner - To the Light
    7/22/08 - LOLLAPALOOZA: Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings - 100 Days, 100 Nights
    7/15/08 - LOLLAPALOOZA: Jamie Lidell - Another Day

    I hope this helps fellow collectors. Again, thanks for this list!

  15. Thanks for the list. I think its great. Dido - Quiet Times did in fact download as Us 2 Little Gods. I picked up another card today and got Quiet Times. I recommend getting another card and giving it a try. Two free Dido songs in one week isn't bad.

  18. I don't make it into Starbucks every week, but I still would like to download the songs I've missed (or will miss) to keep up my collection.

    Would anyone be willing to post iTunes Store links to the "Pick of the Weeks"?

    From iTunes, all you have to do is select the song in your Music Library, click the arrow in a circle to the right of the song name, and that will take you to the song's spot at the iTunes Store. From there, if you right click it, you can "Copy iTunes Store URL," then paste it here!

    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=302610850&id=302610729&s=143441

    Thanks!

  19. Thanks! This is a great list. I searched and searched and you are the only one that has this comprehensive list. I am collecting and I use this list as reference to keep up to date. It would nice if you pick up any extras and post them on this Facebook code exchange site. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=49943724511 Kudos - 5-26-09

  20. Does anyone know whether there is an end date for these? My Starbucks tonight said they had no more --- but maybe they just didn't get the latest shipment (?)

  21. BTW and FYI, I found a list on EBay for the Canadian Pick of the Week :

  23. great list!

  24. Does anyone know how these songs are selected? Are they random, or do artists apply... how does this work?
    ReplyDelete
  25. My store in modesto california has the whole cards since they began.
    ReplyDelete
  26. Today is the first time I've seen the plain white card with black print, listing the week's artist and dates, that comes along with the Pick of the Week cards. I found 2 of these today for the Bob Dylan card, week of December 15 - 21.

  27. Looking for cards from 9/2009 thru Dec 2009 ... I thought the program had ended ... Today I was able to get the latest cards from Dylan and Fruit Bats
    ReplyDelete
  28. great list!!! I'm a fan of this cards, always searching for them so I can download this nice tunes... so thanks!!
    ReplyDelete
  29. Mark, kind of confused - I picked up a card on Monday, 9/20/2010, with Arcade Fire's 'Month of May'. Expiration date 1/7/2011. Didn't see this on your list.
    ReplyDelete
  30. Sometimes the cards get out the day
    before they are posted. Every Tuesday is the official release.
    So it works both ways...Cards are put out early and cards are left on display past a week.

  31. I picked up "Motopony" by King of Diamonds today.

  32. This is not exactly part of this series, but you also might want to post an image of the "10 Song Summer Mix" iTunes card that came out this week (July 4, 2011).

  33. 09-13-2011 - The Night Circus by Erin Morganstern [book] is NOT the entire book, but merely an extended sample, along with a request to purchase the rest of the book at full price. See Starbuck's blog for confirmation: http://www.starbucks.com/blog/our-first-digital-book-featured-as-the-pick-of-the-week/1075

  35. So are the digital download songs (i.e. the ones that don't have a download card) only available inside a Starbucks location by connecting to the Starbucks wi-fi? I can't figure out how to download them from home.
    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes, the digital download songs are only available inside a Starbucks location by connecting to the AT&T wi-fi at the site. The landing page is starbucks.yahoo.com.

  38. Just something I whipped up in a few hours:

    http://pickoftheweek.herokuapp.com/

    I plan to keep it up to date with all the new Pick of the Week promos, as well as back fill it from all the past ones. It will also show a photograph of the cards (eventually).

    I'll be adding email notifications next, so that people who have signed up and want to be notified when a new promo has hit, they can see what it is via email instead of having to go check at Starbucks.
