It's been a minute since Bandcamp last hosted one of these—[four months, to be exact](https://nowplaying.cool/today-is-bandcamp-friday-heres-the-best-vgm-soundtracks-you-can-grab/). Time flies, right? As you know, here at NOWPLAYING, my main focus is on game soundtracks hitting major streaming platforms. But let's be real: artists, and video game composers in particular, can't make a decent living on streaming royalties alone. That's precisely why I *always* include Bandcamp [in my nwpl.ing links](https://nwpl.ing/collection), and why Bandcamp Fridays matter so much.

Today—and today only—the platform is waiving its revenue share, sending 100% of all sales straight to the artists. Did you know that for most independent composers, a single album purchase on Bandcamp earns them as much as roughly a year's worth of streams on Spotify?

Support the artists you love.

Now, let's dive in. We've got a ton of incredible VGM to get through today!
