Who are they?

 

I would expect an artist like Camilla or Dua to not bring in much profit factoring in all the promo/TTH spots needed for their single/records to take off

Any of them who can't sell concert tickets.

Normani 

Jesy Nelson 

Tinashe 

 

comes to mind 

Ciara 

Depends for who…. Themselves or the labels.
 

For the labels? The one’s own their masters. 
 

 

The answer is 100% not Miss Taylor. The amount of profit she earns off of the physicals copies she sells to children is just absolutely indescribable. She sells her music (no thank to her romantic interests) like nobody ever has before in the history of music (since the 1940s at least). Sometimes, late at night, I cry to Taylor songs.  I, then, play them over and over so I can cry about them with her, and then fall asleep with her with tears in my eyes over and over and over again.

ok?

Camila. 100%.

Between Spotify payola, fraudulent TTH placements, and endless chances to jump-start an era?  If I found out 10 years from now that Epic (already cash-strapped as they value-engineered her debut album (scrapping Max Martin, Ed Sheeran, StarGate, etc. records and replacing them with Frank Dukes)) was using Future's income to keep the label afloat amidst the Camila hemorrhage of money, I wouldn't be surprised.

Maybe? But only because her catalog is very small and she raked out her own money to film the "Wild Side" video. 3B streams with no album in sight must account for something, though.

her bottom line must be ... I don't even have words for it. Her net income after taxes must be absolutely, astronomically, unreliably, unsurmountably, ... HUGE.

Dua.. Girl has a BUDGET

And you get none of it.

 

ot: it has to be that Chloe girl.

Artists that don't write or co-write songs, as buying songs is costly. Also those that hire hit producers like Max or Luke on the regular as they're expensive.

Also other factors, like do they need a big PR team or payola.

Katy Perry. EMI put its last breath into producing and marketing Teenage Dream, then it collapsed and was bought by UMG despite the record breaking era.

Nah. Beyoncé has taught those girls well: allow endorsements and sponsorships to pay for EVERYTHING. 

 

Neutrogena, Pepsi, Trident Gum, Doordash, Garage Clothing, and Fendi probably paid for those videos, leaving them to pocket the music and film money.

Halsey 

 

(tho that was more her label's fault for being dumb)

Not my fave

Are you sure? I've heard conflicting stories that she either owns Warner Records to now, or got her LaFace Records albums when she left Epic for Warner as well. Not sure which is true.

Did she even generate $25M in her whole career?
