Last time I heard a number, bands got a single digit percentage of the sale of a CD.

Edit:

Quick web search shows I’m right.

Thanks. So if the artist is both the performer and the writer, they get about ten percent. So that’s one power of two accounted for. I think my assumption about the typical number of CD listens is also quite conservative.

I agree, I think it was conservative. So your root point appears valid.
