That really depends. If you recover your fixed costs, sure. What to the top artists represent in terms of percentage of sales? It's probably more than 90 percent of the sales from less than 10% of the artists. For them, your argument is probably true. I would imagine it takes significantly longer for independent artists, especially niche artists, to recover their fixed costs, especially since music sales are basically a popularity contest.
