Sure, we've hit the slowest time of the year for music releases...but after being available essentially for free for about 3 months, Radiohead's fantastic "In Rainbows" has wasted no time in running up the iTunes charts as the #2 downloaded album of the week, with no hit single strength.

Now, I don't know what's more depressing--Whether all these people missed their opportunity to spend less on the album and participate in Radiohead's little music biz experiment OR whether these people actually waited this long to hear such a fantastic album. I expected some people to buy the hard copy of the album...but download? I figured the iGeneration had already gotten their hands on the tunes.

The other interesting conversation this week's iTunes album chart raises is soundtracks. What about them you ask? Well they're the big sellers. 5 of the top 10 albums this week are soundtracks to films, including the indie-flavored Juno at #1. To me, that says no one knows what to listen to right now.

But that's a better thing than it sounds. That means lots of listeners are looking for something new.
