How much do artists get for an album sales of 1 $?

  • How many cents out of $1 do artists get?


    After paying

    -printing, box, CD cost

    -distribution cost

    -songwriter cost

    -label portion

    -etc


    Anyone has an idea?

    So that we can know how much our favs get when we invest $1.
