==Release==
HTDA's site had gradually been updated with teaser images and videos, along with an image of [[Mariqueen Reznor]] gradually being revealed. Her face was fully revealed on May 4th, 2010, and at the same time ''A Drowning'' was posted on Pitchfork.com, with a link from HowToDestroyAngels[[howtodestroyangels.com ]] to the page. Later that day, the link was replaced with one to Amazon.com once the track was avaliable for download at 99 cents<!--Mention the £/€ cost?-->. Soon after release, it reached number one on the Amazon download chart.
It was been [[Htda Questions|confirmed]] that other sites would also be selling the track as well soon after. The first to follow suit was iTunes.
Two weeks later, the band released the [[multitracks]] for ''A Drowning'', along with the band's other release at the time, ''[[The Space In Between]]'', on [[remix.nin.com]].
