Daft Punk is an electronic music duo consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter.
Random Access Memories is Daft Punk's proper new album in eight years. Its set for a release on the duos label Daft Life Limited, under Columbia Records. May 17th is the official release date, but your guess is as good as mine when we'll see an album download leak.
The album has been confirmed by several news outlets since it was listed on iTunes. It's been announced that Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, and Panda Bear will feature as collaborates.
A radio edit of first single "Get Lucky" leaked recently, and since there were fakes floating around with the ads and promos simply mixed together, many questioned the songs legitimacy. Turns out the radio edit was in fact real and you can read our full report about the singles official launch.
Below you can listen to Get Lucky making its debut on a dutch radio station.
And Columbia Records posted the tracklist on Vine:

So the correct name for track 10 “Motherhood” is “Motherboard” can someone correct this?
“Get Lucky” is amazing!
have you actually heard the real song? Not the bullshit mashups people have made?
The radio edit HAS leaked. Can’t tell where, but if you search on twitter with #GetLucky there’s someone who has it already. Heard it, and this is DEFINITELY legit.
I can also confirm the radio edit has leaked considering I have it. It’s out there if you do some searching.
It’s the top post on reddit in r/music at the moment. 128kbps but a legit radio edit.
Guys, track 10 is MotherBOARD, not MotherHOOD.
Just want to confirm that the single Get Lucky (Radio Edit) has indeed leaked. However, we don’t do singles, so please don’t post or report the single.
Sources ? Who told you it was the real song ?
Big fake ;)
It has verses that have never been heard before in any of Daft Punk’s promos. Unless someone snuck into Pharrell’s bathroom and recorded him singing the song in the shower, it’s most likely real.
Do you thing that sounds pharrell ? Not me
Its real, I’ve been listening to it on repeat for an hour.
Just like to let you know that “get lucky has been leaked and i have it!”
The RADIO EDIT. The album version has NOT leaked.
I believe the album version of the song will blow away the radio edit. I have a hunch that the robots allowed the radio edit to leak in order to set our expectations. I bet they’re planning to blow us away with the album version. A guy can only hope, right?
Disappointed by the single? To be honest, I think the album version will simply be longer – But not actually elaborate or contain more than this. I mean, DP love looping stuff.
Remember that Columbia/Sony is promoting this album like there’s no tomorrow, its bound to disappoint if you’re waiting for the second coming ;)
In no way am I disappointed by the song. i just think that that extra two minutes in the album version will bring an even cooler progression to the song and how it ends. The robots can (or will) never disappoint me.
Amazon posted a listing for the “Get Lucky” radio edit, which clocks in at 4:08. They also revealed the single artwork…

The “Radio Edit Version” is FAKE billboard has just confirm that….
The “extended studio version” was definitely a fake, as the billboard article points out, but the “radio edit” version that has been circulating today features new lyrics sung by Pharell and is definitely real ;)
Billboard confirmed that the “Extended Studio Version” was the one that was fake and a rehash of all of the stuff that came out prior. This radio edit has already premiered on various radio stations in Europe.
sooo is the radio edit https://soundcloud.com/enblog/daft-punk-get-lucky-radio-edit is fake or not because it sounds not bad for a radio edit even tho its not the album version
It seems that the radio edit is indeed a fake (but a very very good one)
look at the description http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpiCubbvQQs
I like this version anyway, the sound quality is also not bad and I will probably listen to this song for the next 3 weeks :D
I can’t wait any longer. Get Lucky is awesome!
Me too T.T

confirmed
That awkward moment when you check randomaccessmemories.com to see if there is a new video while in class and you forget about the song when it opens and everyone looks at you like you’re crazy…
IKR
Why won’t you change the tracklist? Track 10 is wrong. It’s “Motherboard”, not “Motherhood”.
Give it some time. They’re not robots like Daft Punk.
So has everyone accepted the radio edit is real? I’ve seen people claiming that the vocals were supplied by a Pharrell soundalike and that the track was nothing but loops. In four hours it’ll be official, but there has been too much craziness regarding the legitimacy of this track, and it’s obviously the real deal.
“get lucky” is on zune, right now
I Think that Daft Punk is the best electronic dup ever that is not a lie
So the Radio Edit that leaked was the real version. I kind of wish they released the full version but I can understand putting the radio edit up, since that’s what’s going be played everywhere.
GET LUCKY IS AMAZING. THAT IS ALL.
get lucky is disappointing :( it seems like it’s pharrell feat. daft punk and not the opposite :( it was so good without the vocals!
Get Lucky (Radio Edit) is available for purchase on Itunes. It is 4:07.
The really weird pitchy vocal stuff from Pharrell is really in the song.
Already bored with Get Lucky…yawn. That’s what you get when you “overhype” the shit out of a song.
i guess they (sony and columbia) overhyped the album because Daft Pun is a band that both adults and kids or teenagers can enjoy. Their music style is kind of like the 70s but refreshed, which seems to be enjoyed by most people. Perfect plan by Columbia if you ask me
I’ve already heard this song everywhere! Hopefully we will hear something new soon or the song will get boring for most people
Couldn’t agree more. It was quite disappointing really.
I wouldn’t have been so disappointed were it not for all the hype. No earthly music can fulfill the expectations they’ve created.
So apparently Game of Love will have our beloved vocoder, Doin It Right will be the most futuristic song, along with Motherboard. Touch has more than 250 layers and Lose Yourself to Dance is extremely simplistic, as is Within. Beyond is also supposed to be this more ethereal track.
