Re: Did Napster Take Radiohead's New Album to Number 1?

Perhaps the leak of CD *before* it was released that is the actual cause of the CD's success. The fact that you can hear the music early would cause more people to download and listen to it than might've been the case otherwise. Napster gives access to the music, but people must still choose to download it. And Napster's technology is still biased towards more popular music - this sort of thing probabaly wouldn't have worked for an Industrial Celtic Metal band.
Perhaps leaking a few tracks to Napster will become just another standard practice for music PR.
