NIN trivia: What do the "halo" numbers mean that are found on each album?

i actually dont know exactly but every album, single, and greatist hits type album are involved. i think they are at halo 25 or 26 now.

Halo numbers are a system which orders official Nine Inch Nails releases. They correspond to the sequence in which the releases were made, and are named by the word "Halo" which precedes the number on the release.

Just Trent's inane numbering system. What I want to know is why does he have to use the word "halo?" I am surprised you like NIN, figured you would have considered them "too mainstream."

Halo 4 forever!!!!!! (Closer)

It's the official release numbers. And I do think they are at halo 24 or 25, with Capital G and Survivalism.

It's their system of numbering their releases but I think it also comes from the fact that a CD or record looks like a Halo.
