‘Random Access Memories’ by Daft Punk is the Most-Collected Release on Discogs

As Discogs celebrates 750 million records catalogued on its platform, it has distinguished Daft Punk’s 2013 album as its most collected.

Daft Punk‘s final studio-length album, Random Access Memories, keeps on earning the French duo new career firsts despite them breaking up years ago. In December, its lead single, “Get Lucky” featuring Pharrell, broke 1 billion streams on Spotify. Now, Discogs has declared the entire effort its most-collected record.

The online database and music resale marketplace included this and other stats in a feature published to celebrate that 750 million records have now been catalogued by its users thanks to the Discogs Collection Tool. To be fair, The Beatles were the most-collected artist at 4.7 million records across the long-defunct band’s full discography, and Pink Floyd‘s The Dark Side of the Moon was the most-collected master release (meaning across all reissues) at 575,000 copies. The original 2013 double vinyl release of Random Access Memories ranks as the platform’s most-collected at 68,000.

This isn’t the first time Random Access Memories broke records on Discogs. In 2019, it topped the platform’s list of the 200 highest-selling albums from the 2010s.

Discogs’ milestone report also includes a number of other interesting figures. The average user’s collection is apparently 200 items, but the largest on the platform sits at a whopping 634,000. Unquestionably buoyed by recent years’ resurgence, vinyl was the most popular format of 2023 at 73 million items collected (70%) with CDs coming in second at 24 million (23%). In the same year, rock was the most popular genre collected at 53 million (53%) with electronic coming in second at 22 million (22%).

Random Access Memories was Daft Punk’s fourth studio album, following landmark releases Homework (1997), Discovery (2001), and Alive 2007. The now-defunct duo comprised of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo may have a fifth album on the way if comments by Quinn, a Random Access Memories collaborator, are any indication.

The double LP version of Random Access Memories itself currently sells for between $23 and $130.73 on Discogs’ resale marketplace.
