If you’re curious, nearly half a million cassettes sold last year, too, according to Billboard.

I'm more curious about who's still selling music on cassette and who's willing to buy it.

I've seen a few bands release a limited number of cassettes recently. For example, Rancid is selling Honor Is All We Know on cassette.

I guess it's just a promotional thing then. That makes sense.
