70% percent of Spotify revenue goes to the right holders vs ~40% of a CD sale. That artist must have signed really bad deal, or he/she is selling CDs themself which makes comparison really misleading.
- stonemetal12 3y agoAs far as I am aware it is pretty rare for an artist to also be the rights holder. Typically "signing with a major record label" involves signing over the rights. Who then hold on to them or resell them. For example, Michael Jackson owned the rights to The Beatles so that 70% went to him\his estate not members of the band.
