Radiohead Won’t Repeat Rainbows Release; Coldplay Single Is Digital Success
After flipping up the traditional music sales model, Thom Yorke has told The Hollywood Reporter that Radiohead is unlikely to repeat the pay-what-you-like offer used to launch their latest album In Rainbows for their next release. However, the groundbreaking move toward quasi-free music has been adopted by a number of other big artists, including Coldplay who began giving away its new single “Violet Hill” free of charge on Tuesday. In the 24 hours since it was made available, Coldplay’s new single is a certifiable digital success having been downloaded by over 600,000 people.
