Topic: $$$$$$$+€€€€€€€€€€€

I always wanted to know how the money from ALBUMS is divided.
The model I use is a "classical" band, like the Rolling Stones.
MUSIC and LYRICS by Jagger/Richards.
Performed by the Rolling Stones.
But how much money is earned?
The RECORD company, invest a lot of money in a Band. So I try to use numbers.
ALBUM/CD sale: 10.000.000$.
- Company: how much goes in their pockets?
- The BAND: not talking about music and lyrics, what will they earn?
- Songwriter & Lyric writer: what is their share, do they get both the same%?
It looks maybe silly, but chordie is my "last resort" to have more information.
A SECOND QUESTION
- I write a lot of songs = Music and Lyrics. The album sells 10.000.000 copies. I am not a member, I just wrote some songs. If you as songwriter see the dazzling sale, I am pretty sure that working in a factory, is finished.
I try to create a normal situation: a decent contract, without little letters.
