Comments on: Who pays for the singer’s music videos: the artist or the label?!? http://www.acideyeliner.com/music-videos-artist/who-pays-for-the-singers-music-videos-the-artist-or-the-label Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:49:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: JoHo http://www.acideyeliner.com/music-videos-artist/who-pays-for-the-singers-music-videos-the-artist-or-the-label/comment-page-1#comment-2478 JoHo Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:46:59 +0000 http://www.acideyeliner.com/music-videos-artist/who-pays-for-the-singers-music-videos-the-artist-or-the-label#comment-2478 The label covers all of the direct costs involved in recording and promoting a band, including music videos. These days, though, artists often have to surrender the rights to music they create. The label makes all of the money from album sales and performances, and pays a portion back to the artist. So, it is really the artist who ends up paying for videos out of the profit that they make. Big artists often pay more, to cover the small artists that don't make it big. The record label covers their music videos as well, but the low profit return on the sales of the smaller artists means that the label needs to make up the difference by taking more profit from the big artists.<br><b>References : </b><br> The label covers all of the direct costs involved in recording and promoting a band, including music videos.
