Sales statistics of Radiohead's In Rainbows were made available at the recent "You Are In Control" conference in Reykjavik, Iceland. Though actual dollars and cents were not disclosed, some of the highlight points include:
In Rainbows has sold three million copies thus far, a figure that includes downloads from Radiohead.com, physical CDs, a deluxe 2-CD/vinyl box set, as well as sales via iTunes and other digital retailers. The In Rainbows deluxe edition sold 100,000 copies via Radiohead fan service W.A.S.T.E. Radiohead made more money prior to In Rainbows' January 2008 physical release than its total take on 2003's Hail To the Thief. The physical release of In Rainbows entered both the US and UK charts at #1 in January, despite having been freely available since October 2007. In Rainbows was the first Radiohead album available on iTunes, where it went in at #1 in January, selling 30,000 in its first week.
