| Wilco's
music is typically categorized as alternative
rock and alternative country. Despite their career
long association with a major record label, they
are generally associated with indie rock.
Influenced by The Byrds and Fairport Convention,
the band considered Sky Blue Sky to be less experimental
than previous releases. Wilco streamed the album
online on March 3, 2007, and offered the song
"What Light" as a free MP3 download.
Sky
Blue Sky was Wilco's highest debuting album
on the Billboard 200 at number four. The album
debuted at number four on the U.S. Billboard 200,
selling 87,000 copies domestically in its first
week. Sky Blue Sky was also an international
success, peaking at number 7 in Norway, number
21 in Belgium, number 23 in Australia and Ireland,
number 26 in Sweden, number 32 in New Zealand,
number 36 in Germany, and number 39 in the United
Kingdom.
The
band licensed six songs from the Sky Blue Sky
sessions to a Volkswagen advertisement campaign.
