Hereafter is an interesting report from Léon:
We probably have already heard all kind of information concerning the amount of money earned by artists when selling their music on the iTunes Store. My label just added my second album to the iTunes Store couple of weeks ago (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=271184650&s=143442), and we just received the first report. Hereafter are the true figures:
Adding the album to the online store is carried out via a company entitled CDBaby (taking already its margin):
At the end what do we get?
- 0.947USD for a song sold on the French iTS at 0.99/track
- 0.637USD for a song sold on the US iTS at 0.99USD/track
- 8.94USD for the album sold on the French iTS at 9.90/album
I could not get the true sale figures for a complete album sold on the US iTS as not
