It&#39;ll be interesting to see how this affects the way the music industry promotes stuff in future, if it changes anything at all: </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>Radiohead have topped the US album charts with the physical release of In Rainbows, originally sold via the internet for a price chosen by fans. The album sold 122,000 copies during its first week, displacing soul singer Mary J Blige from the number one spot.</p> <p> It is the band&#39;s second US chart topper following 2000&#39;s Kid A, which sold an initial 207,000 copies. Analysts say the relatively modest sales of In Rainbows were due to its earlier high profile digital release.</em> </p> </p></blockquote> http://www.jockcoats.org.uk/radiohead_experiment_success#comments Positive property rights Media Feeds Thu, 10 Jan 2008 09:49:36 +0000 Jock 779 at http://www.jockcoats.org.uk
