A&F Playlists

Working to make this site even more complete, I learned Abercrombie & Fitch has played a lot of music in the past 7 years, ranging from pop, dance (call it what you like), trance, and even somewhat classical (this one song is an example). And since they were not anywhere except in the US until 2007 (remember the London flagship store), the music that was played at the store was nearly making its US début, especially songs that never get promoted in the US, such as Almighty songs. Some of these are still not available on US iTunes, but totally available for those in the UK. That is the case for many of the songs. Some are even only available to Germany. I personally enjoy knowing my taste in music comes from numerous sources and long physical distances (my personal largest collection of music is from the UK). Rachel Stevens is a good example as A&F has played a version of her one single 'More, More, More' and another song.

The Gilly Hicks Back to School 2010 playlist has been added. With the Back to School 2010 campaign, A&F has also decided to redesign the Gilly Hicks website (it's not all Flash any-more).

More 70's classic songs (and recent covers), some more recent ones ones, including the remixed version of B.O.B's 'Nothin' on You'.

Again, sorry US users: if you really like that song by Gabriella Cilmi it's not available at the US iTunes store yet. Maybe in the future. For the moment YouTube is a good spot to listen to it.

As often is the case, these songs are a bit tough to find (sometimes tougher than A&F due to the amount of cover songs) so at the moment I do not have all the songs. These are missing:
06 - ? - 'i'd rather be your lover' --> Found thanks to Kelsey!
14 - ? - 'been dreaming'
16 - ? - 'hoping and praying' --> Found

So as always, if you know any of the songs missing, please let me know by commenting here. Also, if you see a mistake (wrong artist for a certain covered song for example), comment here about that as well.

View the Gilly Hicks playlist.

UPDATE: Just 1 more song to find: 07 - ? - 'all we wanna do is have a good time'. If you know it, please post a comment!

UPDATE: More songs have been identified. Thanks to all who helped. The missing songs are below in italics.

The abercrombie kids Back to School 2010 playlist has been posted. This one is a real stumper for me however as I have only been able to find 13 out of the total 23 songs.

On a side note, unfortunately for US residents, JLS is not licensed yet to appear on the US Amazon.com or iTunes stores. So, for now, UK users enjoy? Personally I think it is a bit unfair.

As a solution, US residents and non-UK residents, visit YouTube (although YouTube might be blocking it from your country there as well). In that case, Google how to use a proxy. (And here is a rant: Why they do this I don't know. Do they not want to make more money?)

UPDATE: A&F, abercrombie kids, and Hollister Co. sites have been updated with the newest playlists! I will be posting the abercrombie kids and Hollister Co. playlists ASAP.

The mystery song is 'Ride on':

Abercrombie's latest Back to School (July) campaign has finally begun and with it comes a new playlist of course. So far I have almost all of the songs, but not all, and not any from Hollister or any other stores, just A&F.

Abercrombie & Fitch is making a bit of a drastic change, changing layouts on their sites and even changing their slogan to 'SCREEN TEST' for the moment (see their Facebook profile). Unfortunately, they have not updated any of the songs on their sites, but I'm sure they will soon.

UPDATE 2: Forums do not require registration.

UPDATE: Since the announcement of this post, we have about 20 new users registered. So get active! You might want to start here.

Unfortunately TopicStyle has announced their plans to basically disband and never come back based upon their post (due mostly to technical problems). They might come back, but there is nothing conclusive. I will not go into the real details of their problem here as you can read that on their site.

I have always sat right next to TopicStyle in Google search results so I am sure a few people from there have visited here (but I have never received a visit coming FROM the site).

The point is, TopicStyle is gone for the moment and a lot of folks (especially if you are reading this post) are probably looking for a similar place. I have personally never seen the site in action so I have no idea how the forums were. I also obviously do not have the user accounts, posts, or any other data that was there.

You'll probably want to use the name you had on TopicStyle.

And also, please read the rules. The buy/sell/trade forum has additional rules.

Facebook Connect is on its way.
