The artists get about 50p per full CD, if they have 5 in the band that is 10p each .....the record company get about 4-6X more than the artist(s)

Could you imagine say Lampard's agent taking £150,000 a week, and just giving old Frank £30,000 wages out of it? Cos that's the way the music industry works

Thats why many produce, write and publish themselves on their own labels.
If a band got to franks level i doubt thats the ratio they would get if they run their own label
