Beatfreakz selling well before release

Beatfreakz's 'Somebody's Watching Me' has entered the iTunes Top 20 before its official release, after fans downloaded it from a Ministry mix album.

Now look, will you all stop downloading that Beatfreakz 'Somebody's Watching Me' track please? Yep, what is likely to become the Eric Prydz 'Call On Me' type track of 2006, has got into the iTunes Top 20 without actually being properly released, digitally or otherwise. The track appears on a Ministry mix album and such is the growing popularity of the cheesy club track that people are picking it out of the mix and downloading it, hence the high rating even though the single edit won't be online for a couple of weeks. We hear Ministry are planning on withdrawing their 'Dancenation' album from iTunes so as not to hinder too much sales of the Beatfreakz single once it is officially available, so for the time being you might have to make do with the rather disturbing video instead...
