→Halos
'''Halo numbers''' are the numbers assigned to pieces of the NIN [[Nine Inch Nails]] discography in the order that they are released, so that a collection can be neatly ordered, supplied, and bragged about. Halo numbers are sometimes modified for variations of a release, such as the different versions of ''The Downward Spiral''. Some Halo numbers are shared with promotional items; Halo 10 is shared with the "Hurt" and "Piggy" promo CDs and Halo 16 is shared with the "Into The Void" promo CD. There are also promotional releases that are given 'Seed' numbers and other [[Trent Reznor]]-related releases from [[The Null Corporation]] that are given 'Null' numbers.

===[[Strobe Light]]==="'''''Strobe Light''''' was [http://www.nin.com/pub/strobelight/ announced] on April Fools' Day 2009. The only real clue to this album being a prank is that it was not assigned a Halo marking, as it would have been Halo 28. As part of the joke, the album was said to have been produced by [[wp:Timbaland|Timbaland]] and feature special guest singers such as [[wp:Jay-Z|Jay-Z]] and [[wp:Fergie (singer)|Fergie]].
