Bandcamp Friday is back: The best VGM to pick up today

It's been a minute since Bandcamp last hosted one of these—four months, to be exact. 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, 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!
