Praxis Records Sales Charts 2020 – Physical and Digital

An overview over the retail sales through our various channels in the year 2020. Physical products include vinyl, print, cassettes, CDs etc sold via the Praxis Online Shop, the physical Praxis Shop @ Disconnect Store Berlin, seller PRAXISRECORDS on discogs, and physical sales via the Praxis Bandcamp. In contrast to the monthly charts we publish in our shop blog, the charts here do not include wholesale/B2B sales.

Digital sales (below) are the digital sales on our bandcamp page.

The order of the first 7 on the physical sales chart turned out to be an extremely close race, with the sales in the physical shop tipping the balance in favour of the most recent issue of Datacide. The most sales of Inferno to Zero were in the Praxis Online Shop, while Slaughter Politics did best on Bandcamp. Sales on discogs are much more evenly distributed with no clear “winners” (and the platform doesn’t allow for sales of print items).
