The 1975 And Billie Eilish Help Cassette Sales See A 15-Year High

Vintage is all the rages these days. Vinyl has seen a major resurgence in recent years, and it looks like cassettes sales are starting to increase as well, all thanks to acts like The 1975 and Billie Eilish.

A recent study conducted by Official Charts shows that cassettes are currently seeing a 15-year high in sales, with The 1975's latest release, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, boasting the highest sales in the format with 8,000 units sold. Of those, 7,000 were sold in its first week, making it the fastest selling tape since July 2002. Eilish's debut album WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? lands at No. 5 of the Top 20 highest selling cassettes since 2010, with 4,000 units sold, and tops the list for top selling cassettes in 2019 so far.
