How do singers make money off their album?

Answer 1

From the sale of there CD's.... (not from illegal downloads.. lol )

Who ever said that is an idiot. Recording artists on major record labels usually make 10% and sometimes 15% of the retail sale price of their album. Sometimes a certain percent of that will be given to the producer of the record. The record label then takes 85 to 90% of each product sold, the label will then recoup the cost of the recording and production cost which they front to the artist. Artists on independent record labels can receive as much as 50% of the product sold at retail price. It isn't uncommon for artists to go into debt to their record label. CDs basically give the artist exposure and is not a revenue source. Artists make most of their money from touring and merchandise which the record label typically isn't involved.
