Daft Punk’s ‘Something About Us (Love Theme From Interstella 5555)’ among Discogs’ best-selling Vinyl

Daft Punk ‘Something About Us (Love Theme From Interstella 5555)’ secured a top ten position on Discogs’ best-selling vinyl list for May. Moreover, fans recognized it as the closing single from Discovery, released on November 14, 2003, tied closely to the animated feature Interstella 5555. Consequently, vinyl collectors revisited the song’s emotional resonance, which the duo crafted during a creative home recording period between 1998 and 2000.

Furthermore, renewed interest followed the Interstella 5555 4K premiere in Los Angeles on October 3, 2024. This remaster event featured a Dolby 5.1 screening at the United Theater and a panel with Daft Punk’s creative director Cédric Hervet and former manager Pedro Winter. Afterward, an after-party with DJ sets by Busy P and surprise guests such as The Dare and Reggie Watts amplified enthusiasm.

Additionally, the vinyl single’s tracklist includes ‘Veridis Quo’ and ‘Voyager (Dominique Torti’s Wild Style Edit)’, complementing the standout A-side. Collectors appreciate these B-side offerings, adding depth to the release. As a result, the combination of nostalgia, visual storytelling, and exclusive edits propelled renewed sales.

In essence, Daft Punk strategic re-engagement with their animated film, supported by high-quality screenings and related events, reignited both fan and collector interest. Therefore, the May vinyl surge reflects not just nostalgia, but an intentional celebration of their artistic legacy.
