Can anyone tell me why there are no big artists on Bandcamp? I wanted to use it as my main app for listening to music but many artists I like are not on there… I heard that their labels prevent them from putting their music on Bandcamp. But that doesn’t make sense to me. Selling music on Bandcamp is financially better for artists and labels than streaming services like Spotify, right?

@kayleigh_beard_music maybe their contracts prevent it?

@Zenie Yes I can imagine. But why?

My guess is Big Labels have Big Deals with Spotify, and Big Artists generally traded their catalog for fame and riches to get there, and now have no control over their product, they just work the factory floor.
Sun Ra Arkestra, on the other hand, is all over Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Dime etc because they feel speading their message is more important than any pittance payments.
