"Capital G" is a song by Americanindustrial rock bandNine Inch Nails from their fifth studio album,Year Zero (2007). It was released on June 11, 2007 as a limited-edition nine-inch vinyl in the United Kingdom, serving as the album's second and final single.

Music and lyrics

[edit]

Though numerous reviews of the album speculated that "G" might refer to the first initial ofGeorge W. Bush,Trent Reznor has stated that the "G" stands for "greed".[3][4][5]

Release and reception

[edit]

"Capital G" was not released with aHalo number due to Reznor's increasing awareness of the overpricing of retail music, and his record label's alleged plans to overprice Halo releases to take advantage of Nine Inch Nails' dedicated fan base.[6] Art collaboratorRob Sheridan confirmed this fact:

It will not be a halo. It's a simple 9" vinyl release the record company really wanted to put out—Europe only, I believe. Side A is Capital G, side B is theDave Sitek Survivalism remix. It will be nice for the people who have the 9" collector box, but we kept a halo # off of it because it doesn't warrant one, and so regular collectors wouldn't feel any pressure to pick it up just for the sake of completeness.

— Rob Sheridan, The Spiral fanclub

The song was first played on radio on April 4, 2007. As of April 27, 2007, "Capital G" is listed on theMediabase Jump![7] and Taking Off[8] charts, which record the track's increase in radio airplay over seven days. "Capital G" officially became available for airplay on May 14–15,[9] although it received the most adds in the alternative category during the week of April 27, according toRadio & Records.[10]
