Fans spent $4.3 million on Bandcamp during last Friday’s artist fundraiser

Last Friday, Bandcamp waived its service fee on sales for a day, putting more money in the pockets of musicians who have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. According to a statement from Bandcamp today, fans spent $4.3 million over the day, with over 800,000 pieces of music and merch sold on the site. "That’s more than 15 times our normal Friday," the company said in a statement, "and at the peak, fans were buying 11 items per second."

Of course, you should keep the sales on Bandcamp going throughout the pandemic and beyond. Start here with these 16 great projects.
