The album was first mentioned by Brandon Flowers in an interview with Billboard in late August 2007.[13] Rolling Stone revealed the name of the compilation in its "Smoking Section" on September 6, 2007.[14] Sawdust was inspired by B-sides collections such as Oasis' The Masterplan, the Smashing Pumpkins' Pisces Iscariot and Nirvana's Incesticide.[15]

"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."[16]

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 Edit

Sawdust debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200, selling 82,000 copies in its first week.[17] The album was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on April 4, 2008,[18] and had sold 493,000 copies in the United Kingdom by August 2020.[19] It was also certified platinum by the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) for sales of 15,000 copies.[20]
