The top two were beholden to that mess till like album 10 or some other such fuckery. (I'm not positive but 100 or 200 K per album seems to be a small amount, but I really don't know). I mean they don't get rights to the songs etc.??

Anywho, if AI is paying them on this schedule, then they do have some sort of say on their content, I suspect. I saw very little difference between ranked 1 or 2 actually.

How 'bout them apples!??

Wow! I did not know this! I wonder how much they get on their concert tours? I went one year and the place was sold out!
