14k is only the tip of the iceberg.

I'm with adidass, those figures don't show it all.
Well it`s not really the point.It`s just showing you an example of the basic return from an album that sells 250,000 after one year & how easy a band can get into debt from the record company.
Obviously there are other factors involved such as radio play . songwriting , etc etc.And even then everybody takes their cut from those too.
It`s not fact , it`s just a guide to show you where all the money goes.
