The album is now a catalog item, having spent its last week on the main chart on Nov. 23, 1985, but is still eligible to appear on Top Soundtracks. Until this week, this classic release had peaked at No. 10 on the soundtracks chart, back in February 2007. And despite not appearing on this tally since August 2007, “Purple Rain” re-enters this week at a new peak position. How did it suddenly reach No. 9? Simple: the album was briefly on sale at Amazon.com for $1.99. [Edited 1/19/09 11:10am] [Edited 1/19/09 11:13am] Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..!

That is high-larious. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

From what I remember, most artists get around 6 or 7 percent per album, but some high-profile artists (like Madonna) get upwards of 10 percent per album. Keep in mind that artists usually don't see a dime until all the recording and promotional costs are recouped by the label. The real money comes from touring. |
