Nine Inch Nails man Trent Reznor has checked his stats on the previously reported 'Ghosts I-IV' download promotion, and has revealed that he has had just under 800,000 transactions in the first week which has brought in $1.6 million in revenue. I think that money includes the $750,000 of revenues created from the sale of 2500 $300 CD/vinyl box sets, so that would be $850,000 from the sale of other physical versions of the album and the five dollar download package. There is presumably a maths equation that can be done to work out how many of the 800,000 fans opted for the free download package, but I don't know what that equation is. Either way, I think that's all pretty good going for week one.
