Radiohead's Creep rejoins UK Top-40

When does a 15 year old song, make its way back into the UK Top-40? Radiohead's classic Creep, did just that this week. After Radiohead decided to include their entire back catalogue of albums through the iTunes UK Store.

Creep, creeping back into the Top-40 just shows the strength of the online music industry today. If a simple release of a 15 year old song can chart on the UK Top-40, imagine how important future album releases will become. Some record labels are already doing this. We would expect to see many more back catalogues released as well, allowing for record companies to profit of pre-existing media, and not just new releases.

Included in the EMI Radiohead back catalogue includes a Best of album, which hit #4 on the UK charts for albums. This album did not come with the approval of Radiohead.
