Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor is now singing his way to the bank after netting $1.6 million (£800,000) from first-week sales of his new online venture. The rocker released his new instrumental album Ghosts I-IV in cyberspace and 800,000 fans paid anything from $1 to full price and more just to download the tracks. The $1.6 million also includes online orders for album-related products like limited-edition vinyl releases, CDs, and a dual-CD box set. The album will be released in record stores next month.
