File-sharing platform BitTorrent expanded its legal reach within the music community with its direct-to-consumer publishing tool BitTorrent Bundle. The Silicon Valley-based company has now unveiled its year-end report on the most legally downloaded artists of 2014 within the aforementioned service. Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, who released his second solo album, Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes, tallied 1.1 million downloads. Yorke said of the service, “It’s an experiment to see if the mechanics of the system are something that the general public can get its head around. If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work.” Diplo, De La Soul and Hundred Waters also made the top 10.
