Are you kidding me, no artists gets $5 per sold record. If you sell a lot and have a really good deal you get around $2 (britney spears kinda big).
The records my fathers band have recorded give them about $.5 for all of them (six members). They barely cover their production costs with that...
This link always gets mentioned in relation to artists/labels and who gets what, so here it is.
Thank you for sharing that, btw. I enjoyed the read...
edit: fixed link
