Thanks for your comment. I am sure that someone from TuneCore will reply to this post and put your fears at ease. Best of luck with your Erotic poetry! I have an erotic poem I am working on, it starts out with "Hickory Dickory Dock..." -- now I just need a second line, any advice? Haha - just kidding! MJ Hi Mz Ologist! Thanks for your comment.

But after my research and running across all these accusations, I am somewhat taken aback and is now very reserved in my elation. I would not mind Peter Wells or Jake Smith or even Tia Morita sending me an email that includes a telephone number so that I can have a person to person conversation that may or may not subside my fears. Basically I need some additional information about Tunecore that will lead me in the right direction and keep me from being one of the negators or negative vibrators in these blogs and ripoff/scam reports. I dwell on Love and Positivity and Negativity is a definete sign of avoidance for me. Look forward to getting an email soon form one of the Tunecore crew. To all of you. God Bless. remember GOOD BUSINESS ETHICS RESULTS IN GOOD RELATIONSHIP AND LIFE'S LONGEVITY.

We abide by our Terms and Conditions, and they're very clear: no hidden fees and never a percentage. I'm quite happy to let months and years go by, as they already have, with no "facts" coming out, because they don't exist. We paid out $40 million to artists last year alone. They seem to be very happy. We're among the largest catalogs in the world now, and project to eclipse EMI in share by the end of the year. Somehow, the worst we ever see is an occasional citation-free mini-rant on blogs. So let's do just as they ask and wait: we'll keep helping artists, paying them 100% of their earnings and letting people into an industry that was heretofore closed off to most musicians. Let's see if the next five years have been as amazing and happy as the last. Thanks! --Peter peter@tunecore.com With pleasure, MJ.

Thanks for your response, but could you be more specific on part of the question? I understand your concern that the average may be skewed by the extremely high numbers at the very top, but how much did the top 20-40 performers / artists each earn last year? I am not looking for names, unless you want to volunteer them. Thanks Fredd PREVIOUS QUESTION: Can anyone tell me what the average earnings are per songwriter per year who uploads his or her songs on TuneCore? Is it a $5.00 average, $500 average, $10,000 average per sonngwriter per year? $.50 or $.99 / song doees not really reveal that. And how much do the top 20 songwriters / singers earn each per year? Please clarify. Thanks! Fredd Hi Peter!

We do have some very high-marquee artist, like NIN and Aretha Franklin and Jay-Z. Obviously, their numbers are going to be enormous. On the other end of the scale, we do have people who put their music into the stores with no intention of selling much, simply because they want to be there--they don't market themselves, don't build a fan base, etc. It's a perfectly valid choice, but again, it throws off the numbers. Further, you ask about SONGWRITERS, which is totally different from account holders. After all, it's up to the person who manages the account's money to pay songwriters whatever their arrangement demands. So ultimately, no distributor is ever going to have numbers like that for you. Hope this helps! --Peter peter@tunecore.com Fredd, numbers like this are misleading. We do have some very high-marquee artist, like NIN and Aretha Franklin and Jay-Z.
