Weezer Decide To Spread Christmas Cheer To Everyone

12/16/2008
.
(PR) Weezer spreads some holiday cheer for fans with the digital release of six Christmas songs on December 16. The songs were originally recorded for the recently released the #1 selling iPhone app "Tap Tap Revenge Christmas With Weezer."

For the first time ever a band recorded music for an app but demand was so great from non-iPhone users that the band decided to make the songs available at places like iTunes and Amazon.com.

This also marks the first time Apple released App music on iTunes. The songs on the EP are: "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", "Silent Night", "O Holy Night", "The First Noel", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful."

Sunday night it was back to Weezer as the greatest rock band around wowing the crowd at the Spike Video Game Awards with their latest single "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn). The single was the #1 most added song at Modern Rock Radio and continues the band's and album's domination of the format that began with the first single "Pork and Beans" which sat atop the chart for an astounding 11 weeks. The second single, "Troublemaker" peaked at #2.
