Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I-IV and Slip - both released under the creative commons license. DRM Free downloads available free of charge for both albums. Paid versions also available. I bought the Ghosts I-IV mid-level version, DRM free download with boxed CD set when it came out with additional extras.
As for Slip - Well, given that the Billboard 100 is like the UK Charts, and records the SALE of music. Slip made number 18.

The Slip made its Billboard debut at No.13. That said, and as foreverwar has pointed out, the rights assignments under creative commons were determined by the artist, not the public.
It's worthy of note that even dear old Trent had to rely on conventional distribution through RED for the physical product - so he went some way to proving that part of the business model isn't as flawed as the freetards would have us believe.
