Checkout this useful video for any independent artist thinking of signing with a major label.

GWOP Magazine staff works directly with indie artists on a daily basis, this video provides valuable information on how major artists are pretty much in debt to their label after selling 1 million copies (which is above average in 2011). For example, Beyonce’s latest album 4 only sold approximately 300k copies the first week of its release. Watch full video below:

*Note: The video shows how an artist can still owe money after going platinum. These numbers are estimated and artists don’t all have the same deals.
