Radiohead 'In Rainbows" sales data revealed

so what they're trying say is, they're rich.

1.2 Million tickets in Japan! Wow...Still cant believe they brought out Blow Out in Japan! AGGGH

I'm pretty sure the release meant 1.2 million tickets throughout the whole world tour. Not 1.2 million tickets sold in Japan.

Oh yes..I see that now. 1.2 Million tickets over the tour!

they did not sold 1.2 million only in japan! in fact one of their shows was not even sold out!!!

ha, I thought that meant just in Japan too

"so what they're trying say is, they're rich."

no, what they're trying to say is they are awesome.

Those Japan shows were incredible. NYC shows could have been better! They played..….
1) Blow Out (first time since 1997!)
2) Knives Out (first time on 2008 tour)
3) In Limbo (played only in Seattle)
4) True Love Waits (played only in LA night #2)
5) Bulletproof (played only in West Palm Beach)
6) Hunting Bears (some European shows)

World Tour continues in 2009

2) Brazil
3) Peru
4) Argentina
5) Coachella 2009? (Their 10th anniversary show….they have to get them back!)

hopefully by their next tour some of the frat bros will have gotten over the online hype and decide to skip the show. Will make the already amazing concert that much more enjoyable.

Damn those frat boys and their love of the Internet hype!!!

They're no Viv Girls

Frat boys, hipsters & losers... No wonder they have so muche fans....

Maybe they can buy Iceland

i love how we can take radiohead down a peg by saying they didn't sell out one of their shows.

"* Radiohead made more money prior to In Rainbows' January 2008 physical release than its total take on 2003's Hail To the Thief."

well, that deluxe edition that sold 100,000 copies was close to 80$ US...

yeah, awesome and rich clearly

I'd like to see how many internet downloads they "sold" and for how much total and compare that with how much they would have netted going through iTunes.

"so what they're trying say is, they're rich."

"no, what they're trying to say is they are awesome."

no, what they're trying to say is they're rich because they're awesome.

what is it about japan that had them playing more of the rare songs that they know their true fans want to hear? i'm not complaining about the liberty state park setlists per se, but they seemed to really mix it up in japan, according to 12:53 anyway..

Anonymous 1:59 PM-

Why are you saying that the only "true fans" that Radiohead have are in NY or the U.S? Just because most of the Japanese in Japan don't speak English doesn't mean that they aren't "true fans".

"Those Japan shows were incredible. NYC shows could have been better! They played..…."

um. those NYC shows were far from bad. especially Saturday. I saw the London shows as well.

def sad i missed all these rarities tho...

Japan always get the B-Sides in their record stores AND live it seems. ya know why? JAPAN RULES!.

YAY for YURA YURA tonight!

"They're no Viv Girls"

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....sad sigh....

"so what they're trying say is, they're rich."

"no, what they're trying to say is they are awesome."

"no, what they're trying to say is they're rich because they're awesome."

No... What they are trying to say is, the marketing ideal, that everyone speculated on, worked.

A true fan is someone who is dumb enought to pay $80us for a Deluxe Edition.

by no means was it ever implied that the japanese radiohead fans are less than true. it just seems they kept the setlist fairly predictable on the US tour and their rabid north american fans want to hear the rare songs, too. nice try twisting words around, 2:11. crazy motherfucker.

they probably got bored of playing the same songs

what's a radio?

they play different songs their cause the japanese releases have those songs already opposed to as b-sides. so some of those b-sides the japanese know as like the best song on the album, so naturally they should play it for them, where for us it wasnt even really on the album, so cant really be the best...

Radiohead fucking sucks.

Radiohead now needs to invent the money tree

proof that money doesn't buy talent or intelligence. planting trees doesnt do anything fucktards

I just wish they'd play "Creep." It's the only song I know by The Radioheads.

this news is huge! apparently radiohead is a really popular and successful band, and their publicity stunt was lucrative

I am blown away

Please go back listening to your vampire weekend and dan deacon

haha, wow, a username devoted to me, I feel so special

for the record, I love radiohead, and think it's great that their album did so well. I was just being silly that this is news. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore, FORGET IT

thanks to the guy who posted the japan setlists

i saw the two NYC shows and the Philly show... i've never seen anything like it.

to shut up kate: there's nothing wrong with either vw or dd. you're just an angry hipster.

The only thing wrong with Dan Deacon is when you call him dd

"they probably got bored of playing the same songs"

Lord knows I do listening to them....

Oh if the cello and violin players from Ra Ra Riot would join Radiohead...

Nah they are trying to prove to themselves and other bands that you no lonnger need a middleman to get your music sold. eh but in my opinion they only got this much sold becasue they were started by a major label

It's been proven that you don't need a middle man to get your music sold - it's just a question of how much time to you want to spend promoting it vs. working on it.
