Update on Friday’s Campaign to Support Artists During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Fans bought $4.3 million worth of music and merch.

The numbers tell a remarkable story: on a typical Friday, fans buy about 47,000 items on Bandcamp, but this past Friday, fans bought nearly 800,000, or $4.3 million worth of music and merch. That’s more than 15 times our normal Friday, and at the peak, fans were buying 11 items per second.
