"Typically, something like 15% of the retail price goes to the performers"

That's absolutely bullshit. If an artist is a know name and sells millions, they *might* get $1 per record sold.

That's right. $1. That's about 6%.

If you are not known or have a bad contract, you don't, in reality, get *anything at all* as "expenses" are higher than your share and in reality you'll end up *owing money* to record company.
