i'm back to save the universe

Radiohead's OK Computer was released 523 weeks ago. The ten year anniversary of this record was celebrated (at least by me) on July 6, 2007.

Two years ago, Spin Magazine listed OKC as the best album of the last twenty years. Since OKC's debut in America, there have only been two weeks in which it sold less than 1,000 copies.

Week Ending 02.04.07 - 923 Copies - 2007 vs. 2006 Overall Music Business: -16%
Week Ending 06.17.07 - 987 Copies - 2007 vs. 2006 Overall Music Business: -22%

Absolutely phenomenal. For anybody looking for a way to celebrate one of the timeless records of our generation, check this out: Stereogum's OK Computer Tribute
