    I haven't heard his instrumentals, but I don't think we can get away from the fact that Trent is super political, IMHO.
    So patience... is nothing...

    Interested in commenting on politics, that is.

    Nine Inch Nails’ “Ghosts I-IV” Makes Trent Reznor an Instant Millionaire

    Rolling Stone
    3/13/08

    Trent Reznor has gone public with the sum total of all the money he made in first week sales after self-releasing his instrumental album Ghosts I-IV: $1,619,420.

    The album, released on March 2nd in a multitude of different formats at nin.com, “immediately sold out” of its run of 2,500 “Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition” versions (complete with vinyl, deluxe packaging and a Reznor autograph), each with a $300 price tag.

    In all, 781,917 transactions were made for the album, with people either downloading a quarter of the album for free, downloading the entire album for $5, purchasing a physical copy for $10 or getting the non-ultra-deluxe limited edition version for $75.

    Unlike Radiohead, who have still not released the total numbers and dollar figures from their In Rainbows experiment, Reznor likely revealed his first-week stats as a way to show fellow artists in the same weight class how successful they can be without the help of a major label. We’re sure Reznor and Thom Yorke will have a nice laugh about all this if they do in fact headline Lollapalooza.

    Ghosts I-IV is still available for download on NIN’s site, with double-CD sets due in stores on April 8th.

    Fucking hell! That's a success. I bet Radiohead will never reveal the figures, probably 'cause theirs failed...

    i believe they did very well.. but giving the entire thing away for free wasn't the best choice... I think this was a more refined version of their idea

    And I'm sure we'll see even more refined ideas once the industry sees how well it works. I'm willing to bet that it will take record companies along time to get on the bandwagon, 'cause in their case, the money's gotta be divided into so many portions, there wouldn't be much left... In the music industry, 1.6mill isn't much...

    That title had implied that prior to this, Trent wasn't a millionaire.... :/

    I'm sure Radiohead did great, but that doesn't even matter, because they have integrity. Their music is beautiful and they don't sell out. IF NIN & Radiohead are doing Lollapalooza, that has got to be something you can't miss. I hope I would be able to catch that. That's just amazing.
