Is $100,000 off an album considered a success for an artist under a label? Guess it depends on the artist but I'm just curious.

If you're on a label and made a quarter off each album sold you'd have to sell 400k units to make $100,000. Yikes. And still no ownership.

A quarter off each album?

you be lucky to get a quarter..


in the height of hip hop sales... when nikkas could shyt out platinum


you might get 10 cents an album... AFTER you recoup...


but then shows was 100% and everythig else

which is why labels started 360 deals


"oh hell nah y'all nikkas ain't gonna make your own money on the side and not care about the records you drop.... we gonna have our hand in EVERYTHING you make... now work ******"
