Irish fans world’s most generous in Radiohead album internet release

IRISH music fans were the world’s most generous when rock band Radiohead invited listeners to name their own price for the group’s latest album.

Irish fans paid on average €6.38 each for the album — available only on the internet — while listeners in the band’s native Britain were the world’s worst pennypinchers, paying just €4.52.

Earlier this month Radiohead released their latest album In Rainbows, allowing fans to download the record off the internet for free or for any sum up to £99.99 (€143.45).
