iTunes 'Paying The Beatles Direct Royalties'January 6, 2011
![]() The band's back-catalogue made its long-expected debut on iTunes in November last year. The potentially ground-breaking agreement means The Beatles royalty split could be more than for regular artists who sell their music online. Normally, a record label distributes royalists to artists and publishers after collecting the wholesale revenue from retailers. The typical figure for a major artist is 20%-25%. But, according to Reuters, the Beatles record label EMI may be treating the iTunes deal as a licensing pact, which means the revenue split would be more lucrative. Spokespeople for EMI and Apple Corps refused to comment on the report. (by Jason Gregory) See also: |
