The sales of cassettes, however, remain much lower than those of vinyl records.The total number of cassette tape sales has risen from 3,823 in 2012 to more than 195,000 in 2022.It is said that the spike has been driven by recent releases from major acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Harry Styles and Florence + the Machine.Per the BPI, all 20 of last year’s biggest-selling cassettes were released in 2022.Mark Burgess, Founder of Flashback Records in north London, told Sky News that cassette sales had “shot up” at his shop post-pandemic.He said the old-school format appealed to younger music fans in particular due to its “collectability”.“Because cassettes are a smaller format, it’s easier to set up a collection,” he explained.
“Also, people like to have an album of music that’s sequenced in the way an artist originally intended it to.”In 2022 vinyl outsold CD for the first time in 35 years, figures released back in January revealed.According to BPI spokesperson Paul Williams, cassette tapes are currently enjoying a similar resurgence.“Not long ago, people would have written off the cassette, but I think you have to learn the lessons of the vinyl market which had an incredible revival,” he said. “It’s something at a lower level, but it is happening now with cassettes.”As NME‘s Sam Moore wrote back in February: “For many artists, the attraction of releasing their music on vinyl, CD or cassette centres around the notion of furthering their creativity and, of course, fostering a more physical connection with their fans.”In 2020, Glass Animals drummer Joe Seaward told NME that, for his band, the

Mike McCahill Guest Contributor Ahead of the “Coronation Concert” – aired on the BBC on Sunday as the climax of the weekend’s royal celebrations – all the talk was of who wasn’t going to perform. Multiple A-listers (Adele, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles et al.) were reported to have declined official invitations, and their wariness around hitching their brands to what often feels like Britain’s longest-running soap opera, currently scattering followers after a succession of unsavory plotlines, now seems understandable. Tonight, as we were confronted with the concert’s arbitrarily assembled ensemble, it’s clear we were probably only a few refusals away from witnessing the Duke of York bashing a tray with a spoon.

Emiliano De Pablos Spanish super-indie production-sales companies are stepping back in time with vigor, building on opportunities opened up by streamers’ growing market flexibility to retain IP and sell territory-by-territory.

As budgets reduce, projects’ producers are forced to court ever more partners. That often means partnering on productions. “We accustomed customers to enjoying high-quality series with large budgets. In the new context, it is increasingly difficult to continue in this vein if you don’t partner,” says Onza’s Carlos Garde.
