The program offers customers a chance to discover complimentary new music and music videos each week. Featured artists include Carly Simon, Duffy, Counting Crows, Adele, Sia and Hilary McRae and many more.

Each Tuesday, more than 7,000 Starbucks company-operated locations in the U.S. will stock a new Pick of the Week download card redeemable on the iTunes Store at itunes.com. The first Pick of the Week, available since Tuesday at participating Starbucks locations, is Counting Crows' new song, "Washington Square."

Once Pick of the Week cards are distributed, customers will then have up to 60 days from the date they are available to redeem their complimentary digital entertainment offering on iTunes.

Pick of the Week is the next phase in a partnership between Starbucks and Apple.
