Trim Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I reckon kano Wiley and dizzee are most likely top three followed by Lethal B, JME and a few others next after them in top earners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mickey Kane Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 True say if you're moving with a major, then you'll get the left-over change...Plus, they'd own the masters for like 50-70 years plus...Again, tryna go the traditional route in this age is suicide. Don't make the mistake of being basic and try a lil' innovation is what's best IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Radio Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm glad tbh, I always thought albums were too expensive. I happily download music just to spite artists. I dunno how people are making BIG money from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afroman Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 GETTIN RETAIL SPACE IN THIS DAY AND AGE AINT HARD.. face it, these HMV and co are under pressure and they are opened to offers more than b4. But movin units is another thing. Also major labels aint even that bad. Most people are just too desperate and inpatient when it comes to cuttin deals. If you have a good negotiator u can get more per album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVER STARISH Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Royalties for a spin on anywhere between kiss and radio one is not even half that 6-7 pound someone said.Certain So Solid manWileyDizzeeKanoStickyDavinceI would estimate have made over 100 grand from this music ting.Might have forgot someoneBut off my head now other than that?Psshhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bay_u Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 who gets the majority of the 6-7 pounds? the artist or the producer?or is it an even split? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mickey Kane Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 who gets the majority of the 6-7 pounds? the artist or the producer?or is it an even split?I swear the producer would get more but it'd depend if they were signed or not...Were the artist to be signed, then best believe some of those royalties would have to be recouped by his/her label...Not too sure with the producer, would depend if they were with a production company/publisher company.

OVER STARISH Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Producer gets most the pThen whoever wrote itThen whoever spits on itThere is no 6/7 pounds per minute that is DUCK TALESThe royalties and things like that count on wether the artist has sold their publishing and how many people are eating off them eg producer, manager and various different pars of that nature.

Greens Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 from time jus being played on kiss is 6-7 pound a MINUTE in royalties (or suttin like tht) u know theres peas to b made in this ting. lol at the non believers.FABUBU..lol u think if man were making that off royalties, they will bother making albums.. lolif this was the case I'd be back on this music ting, from when I was sick.I know for a fact a #1 UK single = million pounds in cash to you, not the record label, you. LOL you know for a FACT.Where does this money come from? Is there some sort of committee who hand out a miilion pound cheque to everyone who gets a #1 single?You can get to number 1 selling no more than around 30-40 thousand copies sometimes less. Singles sell between 99p to £1.99. The label then has to re-coup pressing, printing and distribution costs. I think you can work out the rest.
