If my attempt to copy the image below doesn't pan out because of the template of the blog (much like my previous failed Youtube video postings), then please go to the original website via the above link!
"Just how much moolah do musicians earn from online downloads and streams? For the artist to earn the US minimum wage ($1,160/month), they need 12,339 iTunes downloads or 849,817 streams on Rhapsody.
Lady Gaga apparently made just $167 from 1 million streams of Poker Face on Spotify—to earn minimum wage from that service, an artist needs 4,549,020 streams, according to statistics. Brain-fodder for the aspiring musician, for sure."

there are many serious flaws in this breakdown - some of which are cited in the comments on the blog. i wouldn't call it outright b.s., but the writer has some very misleading misinformation. it should be read (like most articles of this nature) with a critical eye.
