for example chamillionaire he sold around 2 million worldwide and he signed his label to universal so how much would he get on average ? 3 dollars? 4 5 dollars a cd? keep in mind he signed his label to universal so he said on his website that he gets twice as much as artists who are signed to major record labels

I assume that it varies depending on what sort of deal you have but what’s a typical percentage? If you fancy breaking down the CD cost into what would go to the retailer, label etc. then I’d be really interested to know. Do artists selling CDs at gigs take a larger percentage of sales?
