Mopey British Singer Figures Out Foolproof Way To Make Money Off Record Sales

Abigail Houldsworth, perhaps realizing that her dirgey cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” won’t exactly bring in the cash, has come up with an alternate way of realizing revenue from her music:

Seemingly taking her idea from the website Million Dollar Homepage, the singer has divided the front cover of her single into tiny squares which she sells for a whopping £150 a go.

Houldsworth, who records under the name Abigail’s Party, claims to have already made about £20,000 from ad sales alone–she’s even quit her job. We’re wondering if Houldsworth is going to have to step up her advertising game for her next release–perhaps a cover of “Relax” in honor of sponsoring merchant Rutland Recliners?
