In response to "Interesting. I thought the artists got a higher percentage from amazon and itunes that that. No wonder artists can't make any money selling music " by pmb

Remember, that's royalty from us to the artist for the cover. As an original artist, you'd be getting the 0.70 from 0.99 via Tunecore from iTunes

that 0.09 is just what my wife has to pay to the original artist to cover their song.

Sorry, when you said 0.70 cents I thought you meant less than a penny, but apparently you mean 70 cents. That makes more sense (and cents). -- nm - pmb May 22, 08:49 3
- Ah. No, it's Spotify/streaming that really is kinda crappy. 1/10th of a penny usually per song. I'm sure it adds up when you're getting - oblique May 22, 08:51 2
  - Actually I think it's even less than that and it doesn't really add up. Last year's most streamed song (Avicci "Wake Me Up") was streamed 128 million - pmb May 22, 09:05 1
    - I think you're right. I had my decimals mixed up! :) -- nm - oblique May 22, 09:06
