more issues than Time mag
In fact, it's pretty ridiculous just how little artists make.
I know how exactly how much that one indie band that went on Mute...whatwas the name?? I kind of liked them, they have three guys, they had a song that ripped off UFO by ESG?
LIARS! They did not make much at all on their contract, and it was split three ways. I don't even know how three people could live on what they made for a year, tbh, without some kind of supplement, esp if you need to buy instruments and such.
Anyway, what happens is that artists after they get advance money, if the album doesn't sell and make back that amount (or some amount specified in the contract), they have to give it back. Just like writers. A lot of them are left making money by selling merchandise / on tour.
Those mega millionaires in the business, like Britney Spears, don't make the money from sales, but the sales do end up reflecting in the amount they're offered in renewed contracts. Also, a huge portion of income for artists like that is promotional stuff, crap merch (fucking gross perfumes), movie appearances, endorsement deals, etc.
