Motley Crue's latest single has sold more over Rock Band than iTunes, according to recent figures released by the band's management.
'Saints of Los Angeles', the first single from the glam rocker's ninth studio album, was released over Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Store as downloadable content for Electronic Art's Rock Band on April 15. A Reuters report revealed the song managed to secure 47,000 downloads on the Xbox 360 alone, whilst in the same period the song only mustered 10,000 downloads on services such as iTunes and Amazon.
It's not the first time that a band has released a single over a game, with Def Leppard recently offering their new song 'Nine Lives' over Activision's Guitar Hero III, and Metallica are rumoured to be debuting tracks from their new album over Rock Band.
