I'm not the only one who thought Undertow was the best thing on SVII?

Oh and I thought Leona Lewis's album was dope, but that's just me....

The record w/ Katy Perry should push more physical and digital units. I feel strongly about that single.

Contradiction.

How so?

I think you more likely misinterpreted. Especially the way you highlighted in red 2 seperate paragraphs like it was a run on sentence. Y'all need disagreeance that bad in life?

Lol, as much as you like to spell check folk when you have no other leg to lean on in a debate, you don't understand the seperation of thought from one paragraph to another?

E-Grudges. lol. You following me around wishing I'd make a mistake, huh?

Funny most Americans don't know who Susan Boyle is, seeing as she's a lot more popular in the US.
The UK's is even worse, GaGa is queen over here.

LD, or anyone else that might know...

I know its impossible to be sure without knowing the details of each deal, but what do you reckon these people with a couple mil digital single sales are getting for royalties off each one?

Some of these folks look like they could be making much more off their single royalties than their albums depending on their contract. Is there a general relationship between album and single royalties? Like 5 points on an album and 3 points on a particular single? Or do artists usually get more points on singles than they get on their whole album? I know it depends on how much "clout" the artist has in negotiating, but in any company/industry there has to be some type of "standard" that negotiations are based off.

And are all singles covered with one initial agreement, or are they covered on a individual basis? I imagine that could be sticky because if the first single put out doesn't do well, they may not really push a second or third. Likewise if a single does much better than expected, the label would be more likely to push another. Is that all accounted for in the initial record deal?

Also, not related, but I'm starting to learn more about how labels were shafting artists with things like packaging costs of cassette/CD, free goods/promo copies and things like that. (Donald Passman ftw!!) Are labels still trying or finding new ways to take advantage of this stuff even in the digital download realm? Packaging is gone, and free goods should be a non-issue because it costs nothing to re-produce the song digitally.

Just curious,

Peace!

But notice Susan Boyle Digital Sales are not reflecting album sales. I think(gotta overstress cause dudes will swear I'm spouting what I think is fact) she hits a demographic of old folk who don't get their music on computers. That's what I was hinting at with prior posts about her music being "good" in the eye of the beholder. I can't listen to that mess, lol. JUST MY OPINION.

Most likely 3-6 cent on every dollar unless they indie or run their company, write, produce, ect. Then possibly up to 30 cent. Every deal's different though. I'm sure some would surprise me, digital is not my field, I've been watching though, it will be.
