"Unknown" musician Alex Day released his album on the same day as Timberlake and one day in, was ahead on the iTunes sales Chart. I'm sure that didn't last, but the guy reports making more than $5K/month on youtube and $15K/month from music and merchandise sales. That's not a Timberlake-sized fortune, but it is really quite decent money. He has not signed with a label and does not tour either. http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/18/how-a-youtube-sensation-beat-justin-timberlake-and-the-music-industry/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/18/how-a-youtube-sensation-bea...
