According to the BBC:

Cassette tapes have experienced an unlikely surge in popularity in recent years. A number of artists including Lady Gaga and The Killers have released their music on them.

According to the Official Charts Company in the UK, the sale of cassettes in the first half of 2020 increased by 103% compared to the same time period the previous year.

And in the US, according to Nielsen music, sales of cassette tapes grew by 23% in 2018 compared with the previous year.

First time smiling in a RIP thread.
Seems like he was THE player of players since he actually was behind the format itself.
He should've dubbed it Impact Disc since it's made such a massive footprint.

Thank you Lou Ottens!

I still love the cassette, even though I don't currently own any cassette players.
