does anyone know roughly how much music artists receive for each unit they sell (i.e. a £9 album)

I think royalties vary a great deal, depending on the terms of the contracts set up with the music companies. They also vary depending on the artistes input into the song - i.e whether they are just the performers or had a hand in writing the song as well.

Fees are paid differently to each artist, based upon their popularity, previous history and the deal they signed with their management Co.

On average, its around £1 per album at a wholesaled £6.50

is anyone here actually involved in the music industry (AnR preferably!)?

[BIF]

Sorry, only look after their security matters

[tim_s]

thanks for the replies, they're much appreciated.
