Decemberists Digital Only Album #14 This Week
“EMI’s Capitol Records opted to sell “The Hazards of Love” as a near-exclusive via Apple Inc.’s iTunes Store for a week. Illustrating the growing viability of the digital marketplace, the experiment resulted in iTunes shoppers’ downloading about 18,000 copies during the week ended March 22, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The iTunes sales and an additional 1,000 copies sold on vinyl put “The Hazards of Love” solidly in the top 20 before the CD hit stores Tuesday.”
I love this album and have been listenging to it over and over for days. Infact, Last.FM tells me I’ve listen to them 179 times since Tuesday.
