The whole point of the article is saying 80% of bands only make £200 a year. A band only needs a few hundred fans to easily get above that. Let’s do some math: 100 fans listen to their music only 5% of the time. 100 fans x £10 x 12 months = £12000. Your 5% of their listening gives you £600. 3 X higher than 80% of bands. And with only 100 fans. And only listening to your music 5% of the time!
