1,2 Millionen Downloads von "In Rainbows"? Die Band schweigt und genießt...
"Gigwise has learnt that Radiohead have sold an amazing 1.2 million copies of their seventh album ‘In Rainbows’. The band and their long-term management company Courtyard Management have remained tight lipped about the exact sales figures, seemingly in a bid to add to keep a mysterious air around the album. But speaking to a source close to the band last night, we’ve discovered that the Oxford band have achieved this monumental sales figure.
Even if every person who downloaded the album paid just 10 pence, the band will still rake in a massive £120,000. That figure is likely to be higher, with many speculating the average figure will even out at around the £1 mark." [gigwise.com]
"It’s just interesting to make people pause for even a few seconds and think about what music is worth now. I thought it was an interesting thing to ask people to do and compare it to whatever else in their lives they value or don’t value."
Jonny Greenwood @ [gothamist.com]
In diesem Zusammenhang eine nette Gesellschaftsstudie: Vergangenen Morgen auf einem Uni-Kampus. Jede(r), die/der Kopfhörer trägt, wird angehalten, gefragt, was sie/er gerade hört. Bei 14 von 27 Getesteten lief "In Rainbows"... "That's pretty fucking cool if you ask me." [txt.twoday.net]
