Keane - The Night Sky

About "The Night Sky"

"The Night Sky" is a song written and performed by English rock band Keane. The song was released as a one-off charity single released by the band in aid of War Child. It was released as a download on 22 October 2007 and then a physical release on Island Records on 29 October 2007. It was also released in USB format, and was the third of Keane's singles to be released in this format.

The single was controversially deemed ineligible for the UK Singles Chart, due to the 7" vinyl containing a free poster; in the UK these are seen as 'free gifts', thus making any vinyl singles containing prints disqualified from the charts. A competition was run with the single's release, to win a program guide, signed by all the artists who played at War Child's charity concert in Brixton Academy. This also rendered it ineligible, as it is deemed an incentive for those who would not under other circumstances have bought the single. Selling the single under USB format was also believed to be the reason for its disqualification from the charts as the charts do not recognize single sales released under the USB format which several Keane singles have been released under.

In Mexico, rather than "The Night Sky", the single's B-side "Under Pressure" was broadcast as an A-side following the song's popularity and its previous release by BBC Radio 1.
