What website can you go to play a CD of your chose?

How do singers make money off their album?

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.


Why did alternative bands prefer independent labels?

It was easier for an alternative band or performer to sign with an "indie" label than one of the major labels. The independent labels were more willing to take a chance on something different or new. Some bands used their indie success to get major labels interested (like Nirvana), while others stayed true to the small labels that supported them early on. A few performers (like Juliana Hatfield) had concurrent deals with both an indie and a major.

What is the difference between a Major record label and an Independent record label?

Major - is a branche of some big record label. Independent - nor depend to any labels.. A major record label is like Capital, Universal, MCA, BMG, etc. which have a gross earnings amount. They also pay strict attention to the bottom line earnings vs. the talent. They have the set machinery in place to take product from concept to sales returns faster. Some labels don't have time to spend with the new artists or the long term artists since there amount of contracted artists are higher than an independent. Many talents who have been with a Major for many years after a certain decline in sales contracts are canceled. Some artists knowing this fact these days have started their own labels like Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, etc. The years of the Independent smaller labels has arrived in the years of 2000 because of the exposure of the internet and the talent's discovery that music has no time limited or age if it is good. Independent record labels have a limited staff but also more time to spend with each artist as their profit is based on the artists job of selling product.
