Musicians earned $7.1 million from Bandcamp sales on May 1

On May 1, Bandcamp waived its revenue shares, directing 100% of revenue to artists in an effort to help musicians affected by COVID-19 and quarantine. That 100% ended up being record $7.1 million. Bandcamp first waived its revenue shares on March 20, which resulted in $4.3 million of sales, what was then the biggest sales day in Bandcamp’s history. The project goes on - on June 5 and July 3, customers can once again ensure that the money they spent on Bandcamp will directly support artists.
