Cassettes are having a comeback - Discogs sold 280,000 last year

Billboard believes cassettes are gonna have a revival, similar to the vinyl. In 2018, only 219,000 cassette albums were sold, while in 2020, on Discogs alone, cassette album sales were up a third, totaling 282,798. Big French cassette manufacturer RecordingTheMasters in 2019 was manufacturing around 9,000 cassette tapes a month. Now, they are at 30,000 a month. Apart from being cheaper and more practical, cassettes are produced at half the time it takes for vinyl.
