The Bandcamp 2017 Year In Review

Bandcamp just published their 2017 Year In Review and it seems things are still going strong for the direct-to-fan giant. I wish they'd publish some more distinct numbers for the year* but, regardless, it's good to know that, all time, they've paid out $270 million to artists on the platform. The summary piece also takes some nice jabs at the streaming platforms and their dropping stream rates.

Bandcamp turns 10 this year and really helps to fuel both yk Records and We Own This Town, so I thank them for their service.

* EDIT: Brian points out that they do provide more numbers in another post but I just wasn't paying attention. Regardless, I'd love a more distinct breakdown of income for BC and artists within the given year, not all time.
