Making Money When CDs Don’t Sell | Future Of Music

“Perhaps no band has been more aggressive — or creative — with its licensing than OK Go. So OK Go manager Jamie Kitman sought licensing opportunities for the group — making deals for its music to be used in everything from TV commercials and video games to corporate seminars and cable TV “bumpers” (the music that’s used to come in or out of a program). Kitman estimates that when all the uses are tallied, OK Go will have granted more than 200 licenses and made old-fashioned hit-record money.”

The Suit: An Anonymous Executive Talks

“A band can sell a stellar 1 million records, grossing $4 million for the label, and against their $300,000 advance (plus another $200,000 advance spent on promotion), the band ends up still owing the label roughly $100,000. Not a penny in their pants, and if their next record does well, they may still have to pay off their old debt.”

Great quote, I felt the same way…

“I’m one of those guys who, when I was a kid, always saw myself up on stage, playing in front of thousands of people,” said Bowes, who’s been with Columbia Fields for about two years. The band’s first CD, “When the Night Falls,” has sold about 750 copies at shows and through online distribution with Cdbaby.com.

“The industry’s a little different now,” he added. “Bands don’t necessarily need labels to get in front of large audiences.”

Who needs record companies?

The companies were the gatekeepers between the artists and the audience.
