Amazon had the new Decemberists at a release day only price of $3.99 for the
MP3 download. I had some credits at Amazon, so my price came to $1.99.
Amazon just notified me that they just received a new copy of the song "This
Is Why We Fight" that, in Amazon's words, "more accurately represents the
artist's vision". And since I had already downloaded the album, I was able
to get the new version for free.

Then again, when these are on sale for the low price of 6.99 many places
during that first week, I am sure that helps.

Which, interestingly, is more than the #1 before it (Cake, 44,000 copies)
and after it (Amos Lee, 40,000 copies) combined.
All of the articles I've seen about this phenomenon have been rather
hand-wringing in nature, but less-mentioned is this interesting cultural
tidbit: supposedly "fringe" musical artists like Cake, The Decemberists, and
Amos Lee have had the last three #1 albums in America. And this is
bad...why, exactly?
