That's an interesting idea, but doesn't it suggest that the better a song sells, the less revenue the artist receives?

No, we have a fixed portion that goes to the fans, and the artist decides how much that is. Also, early buyers get bigger cuts, so it pays not to wait if you like a song.

Reads like you've got all the incentives right, to stimulate both purchasing itself and the proliferation of buyers interested in bringing in more buyers.
