The whole point of the article is saying 80% of bands only make £200 a year.

A band only needs a few hundred fans to easily get above that.

Let’s do some math:

100 fans listen to their music only 5% of the time.

100 fans x £10 x 12 months = £12000.

Your 5% of their listening gives you £600.

3 X higher than 80% of bands. And with only 100 fans. And only listening to your music 5% of the time!

Sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that I was disagreeing. Yes, I agree with you.
Haha. Sorry! I though it was a sarcastic yes! It was good to actually work it out anyway for my own peace of mind :)
