Radiohead hits US chart at number 1
Following the number 1 position in the UK and many other countries, Radiohead has moved up to the number one position in the USA as well.
The band’s seventh album ‘In Rainbows’ actually debuted at number 156 last week after many stores sold the album before the release date (January 1st).
According to Nielsen SoundScan ‘In Raibows’Â sold 122,000 copies in the USA, while Radiohead’s previous album sold 300,000 copies in the first week.

and it was given away FOR FREE.
this proves everything - everyone knows the majors are in trouble because they release shit music. they blame it on piracy.
you can’t even argue with it now.

Wow. It’s amazing how many people know Radiohead’s name now everywhere. Crazy. And last.fm is plastered with all of these ads. Love the Radiohead.

All there’s left is to stay there for, like, twenty weeks until everybody in the world gets a copy of In Rainbows.

I’m a little upset that stores sold it
before its release date. But I’m still
really happy for my boys. I can’t
wait to see them in San Diego and L.A.

Why would you be upset that people got it early?
You do realize that Radiohead was the only big thing released on 1/1 and they sold half as many In Rainbows as HTTT in the first week???

OKC-like sales will still never happen, sadly.

@NSFW I never said I was upset it was released early in some stores. I just wondered why and if it was allowed as its a very irregular practice. I really dont care how or wen fans got hold of it.

122,000 doesn’t seem like a lot.
But keep in mind…
This album was given away, for FREE.
And many people don’t buy physical albums.
Billboard doesn’t take iTunes into account.
If you add in downloads, discboxes, and physical cds, In Rainbows is probably close to 1.75 million
