This isn’t the early 2000s anymore, and a lot of this discourse refuses to accept that reality. Back then, artists could survive and even thrive mainly off music because physical sales, radio spins, and touring actually paid real money. That model is gone. We’re in a streaming era where music often earns the least once revenue is split between labels, distributors, publishers, managers, and taxes. Even artists with millions of listeners can still make modest income from music alone unless they own their masters, publishing, and distribution outright, and even then streaming payouts remain low. That’s why music today often functions as promotion rather than the main paycheck. The real money comes from what that visibility unlocks, like brand deals, endorsements, campaigns, commercials, liquor partnerships, fashion, and licensing. Laughing at artists for selling tequila, donuts, or chicken just reveals a misunderstanding of how the modern industry actually works. The industry changed, the money moved, and artists who understand that evolve while others stay stuck arguing with a business model that no longer exists.
Best i.e. @ChloeBailey sat down with @terrellgrice in 2023 and revealed some of the real reasons that artists don’t always make a lot of money from music.
