^ yeah I would guess so....but i would hazard a guess some late night DJ gets to it first in the wee morning in Toronto
thats like 5 hours adfter Fanning plays it? I suppose they dont want to debut it before most people will be listening?
^ I'm still fingers crossed for an Australian station to play it first. We can just pretend that we fucked up the time difference and played it a day early by "mistake."

Wasn't there an Aussie station that broke the Vertigo embargo in 2004 by claiming that the copy they played was an internet leak, when, in reality, their breaking of said embargo was the source of said leak?

I remember Vertigo was premiered here in the late afternoon. I was in my car, and The Edge played it, and then after it was over, I went through all my preset stations, and it was just finishing on all of them, too. I was so psyched. So they're obviously told not to play it till a specific day and time.
U2.com just announced that not only Bono, but all of U2 will be performing at the Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday 1/18. Do you think they will perform GOYB or maybe One?

Def not GOYB. Hopefully they'll long One and just do Pride instead
From the reports & comments in this and other threads, it sounds like GOYB will be made available to radio stations around the world via a download (from some Universal Music portal) at precisely the same time - except for Dave Fanning who gets it 10 mins earlier for the global exclusive.
The way I read it, there's no CD. No mp3. Nothing....until Universal opens it portal next Monday morning UK time. Therefore nothing to leak.
So it's back to the 80's when we all gathered around our radios in anticipation, hoping we wouldn't miss it and praying the tape recorder would work first time (and not cut off the beginning).

It kind of makes me feel guilty for wanting the song to leak so bad.
Well, its pretty obvious that more and more people are starting to get sneak peeks at the song now that Universal reps are running around debuting it. So to write off 99.9% of these people's reviews at this point of the game is pretty naive.

Yes, they are playing it for people they want to hear it, in otherwords music insiders that will play a part in hyping it, not some intern who know nothing about music and compares it to a Billy Joel song.
but i swear i read a report that someone at a radio station opened up a box with the new promo cd on Monday. i could be wrong though. there were a lot of reports flying around on Monday.
But why "no mp3" ? via a download IS a mp3

You never know but Bono might be stupid enough to leak it. Have the song blaring at his holiday pad....again.
You think Bono didn't know what he was doing?
Who knows... Bono is a bit of a dill.
Well, despite the agonizing wait...the "no leak" thing is kinda cool. For the single it doesn't matter much, but there's something very nostalgic and old school and awesome about everyone getting an album at about the same time and playing it all over the country/world.
