But today I’d like to share specific numbers, and that is how I earned on the album sales. Just in time as I recently got a financial report from the label.<\/p>\n<h2>How many copies sold<\/h2>\n<p>The album was released in two formats: digital and physical. Label — Digital Om Production. At that time Bonzai Music was taking care of the digital distribution, whilst Arabesque Distribution for the CDs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"side-quote\">940 tracks and 140 CD copies sold so far<\/p>\n<p>For the first quarter, people downloaded 940 tracks and purchased 140 CD copies.<\/p>\n<p>Is that good enough or not?<\/p>\n<p>Let me answer with the fact: the album was #1 on Psyshop and #2 on Beatport top charts for the whole month:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/dsokolovskiy.com\/blog\/pictures\/2000-years-ahead-top-charts.jpg\" width=\"1603\" height=\"1113\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<div class=\"e2-text-caption\">“2000 Years Ahead” in the top sales charts. Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bptoptracker.com\/release\/2000-years-ahead\/1922602\">bptoptracker.com<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Overall, the album spent 18 days in the top-10 and 69 days in the top-100 on Beatport. Sitting in the charts for more than two months considered as quite an achievement.<\/p>\n<h2>How much I’ve got<\/h2>\n<p main>Now comes the more interesting part. To be clear, all numbers below are <i>net<\/i>, i.e. after the deduction of the stores and distributors commission, which is roughly 50% depending on the platform and region. For example, when you see $1,99 retail price per track on Beatport, the real income from it is about $0,9. That’s the numbers I’m operating below.<\/p>\n<p aside>Stores take 20—50% cut from retail price<\/p>\n<p>So, this is what’ve got from all sources — digital sales (including streaming), physical sales and sublicensing:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-table\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"width: 160px; display: block;\"><i>Revenue<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<td> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Digital sales<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\">+€815<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Physical sales<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\">+€610<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Sublicensing<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\">+€200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Total revenue:<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\"><b>+€1625<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>A thousand and a six hundred euros sound nice, right?<\/p>\n<p>But revenue ≠ profit. The album also had some expenses on production and promotion that we have to take into account:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-table\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"width: 160px; display: block;\"><i>Expenses<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<td> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mastering<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\">-€225<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Artworks<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\">-€200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CD printing<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\">-€300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Logistics<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\">-€100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Marketing<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\">-€100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Total expenses:<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right\"><b>-€925<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Now let’s calculate the profit: €1625 <i>(revenue)<\/i> – €925 <i>(expenses)<\/i> = €700. But we’re not done yet since all profit splits between the artist and the label — that’s a typical deal in the industry. So, then: €700 \/ 2 = €350. And that is how much I earned before taxes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote\">€350 is how much I’ve got a year later for the first quarter of sales<\/p>\n<div class=\"question\"><p><b>Added in 2021: <\/b> I want to emphasize that all numbers above are given for the first quarter of sales only since the release date. For the last two years since I wrote this post, my total net profit from the album is over <b>€1500<\/b>, mainly due to streaming.<\/p>\n<\/div><p>Now we can make a few conclusions:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>Once again I’ve got a confirmation of my own words that a music producer cannot make a living on the music sales alone. <a href=\"\/blog\/all\/the-truth-about-music-sales\/\">I’ve written about it earlier<\/a> and talked on my master class.<\/li>\n<li>Music release is not only income but also expenses. And whilst you may not gain profit at all, it will cost you something for sure.<br \/>\nIt’s important to mention that in my case the label took all expenses since we already worked together and I got a trustworthy reputation. Keep in mind that not every label would want to invest a thousand dollars if you are a new producer with a debut release.<\/li>\n<li>People still buy CDs!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Why I’m telling this<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps, not everyone aware of that, but we actually have a problem in the music industry: many young producers expect to make a living on the debut release sales, then they see a financial report with a 2-digit number (or nothing, at all), start to accuse everyone around and eventually quit their career.<\/p>\n<p>I’m sad to see these things happen all the time and hence why I share my experience on how things work behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>I’d love to tell you that “I released my album and bought a house”, but the truth is after a year of hard work and a fantastic appearance in the charts, the album sales directly gave less than a monthly salary of a janitor. That’s the true story.<\/p>\n<p>That’s why you need to remove the pink glasses and start working hard — a something that musicians do not really like to do. And threat your music releases simply as a portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2>Bonus: stats<\/h2>\n<p>A financial report is not only about the money, it’s also a lot of juicy data.
