December 27: Fewer readers in the United States and why it matters
You deserve an explanation, so please don’t skip this 1-minute read. It’s Saturday, December 27. Our fundraiser will soon be over, but fewer people are seeing our message this December and we’re short of our goal. If you’ve lost count of how many times you’ve visited Wikipedia this year, we hope that means it’s given you at least $2.75 of knowledge. If everyone who finds Wikipedia useful gave $2.75, we’d hit our goal in a few hours.
It’s been 25 years and Wikipedia is still free. It’s still created by people, not machines, and we don’t run ads or put up paywalls because we’re not here to make a profit off your attention. In other words, it’s still the internet we were promised.
Less than 2% of our readers donate, so if you’ve never given and Wikipedia has provided you with at least $2.75 worth of knowledge, donate today. If you are undecided, remember any contribution helps.

Stack-o-Tracks is an instrumental album release by the Beach Boys containing backing tracks to fifteen of their songs spanning their career to that point. As it was issued during one of their lowest commercial ebbs in the US, Stack-o-Tracks became the first Beach Boys album to fail to reach the US charts. Until 1992’s Summer in Paradise, it would remain their only official release to have this distinction.
The US versions of the album included a booklet with the bass lines, lead lines, chords and lyrics (to sing along with), whereas European editions contained just the lyrics and a different cover. Stack-o-Tracks quickly disappeared and was out of print for two decades. In 1990, Capitol Records re-issued it on CD, and again in 2001 – both releases without the booklet that accompanied the vinyl edition.
Stack-o-Tracks was only available in Duophonic, or fake stereo.
