A song on iTunes is much more expensive than downloading a song on melon.

Western Artists don't make a lot of money from the iTunes charts much less kpop artists, this is a well known fact. If anything, iTunes is the one profiting.

Girl, you gonna go post this in all the threads about Melon charts?:

Korean Artists don't make a lot of money from Melon, this is a well known fact. If anything, Melon is the one profiting.

They earn more from Melon charts than they do from iTunes charts.

Edit: I realize I was not clear: Domestic charting earns them a lot more money in the end.

If you've never heard of SNSD, WHY are you commenting on threads about them?

Sorry, but I didn't know who SNSD is. I might be mistaken but I believe this thread is about Seohyun. I edited my post so you can go back and look if you want a clarification.

iTunes charts doesn't mean anything.

 

 Sweetie it really, really does.

 

Korean streaming charts are nice, but artists make so much more money directly from Itunes, especially with the setup SNSD has (I believe their receive 80% of revenue from foreign sales whilst the company gets 20% of that and then a larger cut of domestic digital sales). The company would also earn more revenue from that 20% cut and 10-15,000 international Itunes sales than from hundreds of thousands of streams recorded on Gaon.

 

Domestic streaming is useful for 2 things:

  • Music show awards/end of year awards
  • Indication of public popularity, leading to CFs ( CFs being the real money maker in Kpop outside of touring).

No, artists generally get 12-20% of sales, depending on their popularity and an artist may earn 7 to 10 cents after deductions for the retailer, the record company and the songwriter per sale. It may be a lot but nothing compared to domestic streaming.

P.S. All you've proven so far is that domestic streaming is more useful in the long run, more so than iTunes charts.
