BANDCAMP: CHANGE DEFAULT PRICING, BANDCAMP FRIDAY RETURNS 5/2/2025

 

 

 Digital music server BANDCAMP have raised default pricing as BANDCAMP FRIDAY RETURNS 5/2/2025.. 

 

 

 

 

FROM BANDCAMP: 

 Greetings,

We wanted to let you know about a recent change to our default pricing structure. We’ve updated the suggested default prices for digital music from $7 to $9 for albums and from $1 to $1.50 for tracks.

As always, the prices you pick are up to you. We’ve crunched the numbers and we recommend these new defaults for two key reasons:

1. Fans are already paying more to support artists. Nearly 20% of fans voluntarily pay more when albums cost $7 to $10, and they add about 61 cents on average. Albums priced from $7 to $10 deliver the highest revenue per release.

2. New industry standards require that digital albums be priced at $7.99 or more to be eligible to chart.

We’ve seen over and over that fans on Bandcamp are generous and intentional about their support. This update helps ensure your music isn’t undervalued by default—and puts you in a stronger position if charting is part of your goals.
