When you spell it out like that it shows just how insane it is!
- phillipseamore 6y agoWe'll technically most of the revenue from record sales goes to the label, which they usually use a part of to find and sign new artists (so other artists do benefit).
- jonplackett 6y agoHa, you’re probably right! I bet that’s what the main problem is anyway! I’ve been trying to work out some math and forgetting they’re all getting totally screwed but the label!
- enobrev 6y agoIt's definitely true that the label gets the majority, and Spotify in this case, but there is (usually) a per-record cut for the artist in the physical album version of this transaction.
