Sawdust is a compilation album by American rock band the Killers, released on November 9, 2007, by Island Records. The album consists mostly of B-sides, but also includes a number of previously unreleased tracks. The songs on the album were recorded between 2002 and 2007.




Background



The album was first mentioned by Brandon Flowers in an interview with Billboard in late August 2007. Rolling Stone revealed the name of the compilation in its "Smoking Section" on September 6, 2007. Sawdust was inspired by B-sides collections such as Oasis' The Masterplan, the Smashing Pumpkins' Pisces Iscariot and Nirvana's Incesticide.
"Our most metal song is 'All the Pretty Faces' on Sawdust…" observed guitarist Dave Keuning. "That's a part of who I am. When you're in eighth grade, you're into AC/DC and Metallica. And any guitarist who says they weren't is fucking lying."
The UK and Australian editions of the compilation included an additional track "Change Your Mind" as it was replaced with "Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll" on original release of Hot Fuss album there.




Commercial performance


Sawdust debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200, selling 82,000 copies in its first week. The album was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on April 4, 2008, and had sold 493,000 copies in the United Kingdom by August 2020. It was also certified platinum by the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) for sales of 15,000 copies.
