The Machinist blog has updated news on Radioheads "In Rainbow" CD sales.
"In Rainbows" first made headlines due to it's off-the-wall sales techniues: Radiohead decided to forgo any record label and simply put the CD up for sale on their website ONLY ... and for whatever you want to pay!
A British web site called Gigwise apparently reports that Radiohead had sold 1.2 million copies in the first week of releasing "In Rainbows". The number is not certain though, as neither the band nor any of their reps will release a true number ... Gigwise apparently got it from 'someone close to the band'.
A British newspaper, Record of the Day, has conducted a poll of 3,000 people who have boughten the CD, and calculated the average price of the CD at about $8. With no money having to go to a record label or anything, Radiohead would be swimming in green bills by now.
Now real stats have been released to anyone by now ... and I'm not sure if they ever will be ... but I'm sure everyone, including myself, is really interested right now ....
