Re: [Global Album Chart] "Thriller 25th" is #1!
I'm sure I remember reading years ago somewhere that when MJ signed the huge contract with Sony in the early nineties, he got 25% of each album (not sure if that is retail cost or profit from each sale), which is a HUGE amount when you bear in mind lots of groups only get around 5% and that is shared between all of them, so basically about 1-2% for each group member!!!
I just wondered.!?
How much is MJ paid pr. CD sold??
It T25 has sold 600.000 copies in just 2 weeks, and the rest of the cataloug is selling better these days because of the release of T25, then MJ must make a hell lot of money!
If he gets like 4$ a CD that'll be $2.4 million just for the T25 sales soo far.
But does anyone know how much he gets paid??
