Thank you for your comment. I'm actually quite a big Radiohead fan, and so know all about the 'In Rainbows' experiment. (If you were interested, I paid £40, at that time the equivalent to $82 for the limited edition discbox which entitled me to a free download). Whilst they did a greater share of the profits from 'In Rainbows' than any previous album as they released it themselves (approx. £1.70 for every £10 from CD sales goes to an artist under label, assuming they also have written the songs on the abum), I'm not sure it was actually the most they have made from a single album. As far as I know, OK Computer still holds that record. Thank you again for responding though.

From the research I did about this last year, OK Computer may have moved and sold more units than In rainbows, but Radiohead has made more money off of in rainbows than any other album they have released.

My source could have been wrong, or could have said "predicted to exceed ", but I remember using the citation with a link.
