Changes

Following the release of Williams' album and his release from Interscope, Reznor embarked on a musical experiment. The experiment was ten weeks of improvising and experimenting in the studio, and seeing what came out from it. What started as a 5-song EP soon grew into a 36-song collection that became known as ''[[Ghosts I–IV]].'' Reznor will release the first volume in four parts in a 2-CD set on April 8, 2008, with a download and streaming option becoming available on March 2, 2008. Inspired by daydreams and experimentation, ''Ghosts'' returns to Reznor's introversion and self-exploration. Around 700,000 people downloaded or bought the record in the first week of its release. Within the first week of the record's release, Reznor made US$1,619,420. Year Zero was released last year, it has sold 480,000 copies. Trent Reznor has made around US$960,000 off Year Zero. That was when he was signed to a record label. He made US$659,420 more off Ghosts I - IV in its first week than he did off Year Zero when its been out for a year. Also remember, he doesn't have to deal with a record label. It's a win win situation for Trent Reznor.
