The band opts for a new, non-traditional release method with mixed results; teaming with Apple to deliver the album directly to any customer with an active i-Tunes account. The release proves to be divisive; on one hand, it leads to over 26 million downloads and an estimated 81 million people listening to the album within the first month; however, it also leads to concerns on the devaluation of the monetary value of music as a commercial product, and angers some iTunes customers due to its automatic download without the user's consent. A traditional commercial release occurs the following month, with the album debuting at number 9 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling just 28,000 copies, drastically lower than their prior release, No Line on the Horizon, which sold just under half a million copies in its first week of availability.https://www.billboard.com/pro/florida-georgia-line-no-1-album-bob-seger-game-u2/ Florida Georgia Line Scores First No. 1 Album Billboard 20 October 2021http://blogs.seattletimes.com/soundposts/2014/10/15/black-keys-drummer-patrick-carney-u2-and-spotify-devalue-music/ Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney: U2 and Spotify 'devalue music' The Seattle Times Chris Kornelis 15 October 2014 17 October 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141101025133/http://blogs.seattletimes.com/soundposts/2014/10/15/black-keys-drummer-patrick-carney-u2-and-spotify-devalue-music/ 1 November 2014 deadhttps://consequence.net/2014/11/pink-floyd-criticize-u2-for-devaluing-music/ Pink Floyd criticize U2 for 'devaluing' music Consequence of Sound Alex Young 2 November 2014 2 November 2014 http://loudwire.com/buckcherry-keith-nelson-calls-out-u2-free-album-decision/ Buckcherry Guitarist Keith Nelson Calls Out U2 for 'Disturbing' Free Album Decision Loudwire Jeff Cornell 16 September 2014 16 September 2014https://www.nme.com/news/music/u2-105-1230800 Entertainment Retailers Association call U2's album giveaway 'as damaging as piracy' NME 21 December 2016 16 September 2014https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/11086403/Why-is-the-new-U2-album-in-your-iTunes-library.html Why is the new U2 album in your iTunes library?
