Lets say if you sell 100 ITunes Downloads in 2 years
ITunes maybe 0.70 a song
TuneCore $49.99*2 Yrs = $99.98
CDBaby $39.99 Flat = $39.99
TuneCore .70 * 100 = $70
CD Baby .70 - .07(9 Pct) = .63 * 100 = $63
TuneCore $70 - $99.98 = Lost $29.02
CDBaby $63 - $39.99 = Made $23.01
What if you sell 1000 songs?
TuneCore .70 * 1,000 = $700
CD Baby .70 - .07(9 Pct) = .63 * 1,000 = $630
TuneCore $700 - $99.98 = Made $600.02
CDBaby $630 - $39.99 = Made $590.01
If you think that you're only gonna sell 100 songs then go to CDBaby. 1000 songs? go to Tunecore.
I know its not THAT simple but, do what is better for your bottom line. Either way get back to work doing what you love

Pardon me, but I dont do the Internet Gangsta thing & I Dont hide my name & Face in anonimity just to get away with comments I would never repeat in public.
I also dont have to quantify my personal views to anyone or tell them to stfu. Its pedestrian and not welcome in a forum that fosters intelligent free expression.
I also question your motives as I see other comments up here that really say horrible things about Rihanna and her artistry whereas I dont disparage her at all and compare her to other great singers that I enjoy.

I dont know If 0.80 can fly here in the states. Im sure there are more upfront costs than just manufacturing to think about. so lets say $2.25 upfront which is still a big savings.
Can you trust that your UNSOLD CD's will be destroyed by a retailer? of course Not Dont be Ridiculous!
I can guarantee your CD's will end up in a Sri Lanka Walmart .. You think Cops DESTROY all the Weed & Coke & Guns they confiscate?
