Musician Economics 101

musicians&money

From Hypebot.  It’s no secret that the amount of money artists are earning from recorded music is declining.  But by how much? And as digital sales replace physical and streaming music gains traction do the numbers shift in the artist’s favor?  Infographic created by David McCandless of Information Is Beautiful from a spreadsheet of data.

    I saw this as well. Yer it’s interesting, I’ve been thinking for a while now the way musicians will make money from music has changed due to the internet. Sell a few thousand albums a year without the help of a record label and you’re on a full time wage. This is a good set of figures for musicians to look at, hopefully it’ll open a few people’s eyes…

    Artist/producer Eric “Roscoe” Ambel mentioned how Spotify was very unfair to artists on the Bottle Rockets message board and I found this as another perspective.
