it’s Bandcamp Friday again and since everyone’s Spotify Wrappeds just dropped there’s no better time to plug your wrapped playlist into this online tool to see which of the artists you listened to the most this year have Bandcamps where you can support them directly.
Any purchases you make today or on any other Bandcamp Friday (the first Friday of the month) will go 100% to the artist, with no cut taken by Bandcamp itself. And buying an artist’s album on Bandcamp after streaming it on Spotify, even hundreds of times, means upgrading from giving them pennies to giving them the real money their work is worth. Spotify pays out something like $0.0033 per stream; if you liked a song or an album enough for it to have made your top Wrapped list, you should really consider spending the dollar or nine dollars or whatever it costs on Bandcamp, with the pleasing knowledge that you’re handing that dollar directly over to the artist.
