That video is advertising a digital distribution service which is owned by a well known record label exec.

The sales figures are quite exaggerated... 99% of artists never sell anywhere near the volume that Drake does.

I think it's important for artists to call out and quit pushing the mostly false profit models that the industry keeps pushing to put artists on a pedestal and to keep artists worshiping the big music industry machine.

If Russ was making $1m a week, he would not be doing self-produced promotional videos and tiktok posts about how to succeed in music. Even $1m a week for a well known music artist is not realistic in a good economy when Spotify only pays a fraction of a penny per play.
