In a nin.com update on June 26th, 2008, it was reported that since the album's release on May 5th, 2008, over 1,400,000 people had downloaded ''The Slip'' from theslip.nin.com. That number represents individual people, and excludes multiple downloads from the same order.

The album (as well as ''Ghosts I-IV'', which was released the same year) was supported by a tour that visited North and South America. This tour was notable for having the most ambitious production of any NIN tour before or since, using groundbreaking lighting and video technology. The middle portion of the set, referred to as the "Ghosts" portion, utilized some of that album's unorthodox (for NIN) instrumentation such as marimba, banjo and small percussion.
