Thom Yorke's Record Label

Thom Yorke, released his first solo record, The Eraser, on the label XL recordings in July 2006. While not reaching Number One in any specific country (#2 in the US, #3 in the UK and #2 in Canada), it was Number One for worldwide sales during its initial week of release. In October 2007, Radiohead completed negotiations to sign with XL for physical release of their seventh studio album, In Rainbows.
