most artists get their of money up front on a record deal that is to be re-couped by the record sales. That money is spent on studio time, mastering, promotional shit, etc. you can have an album go gold and still have each band memnber make less than 3 thousand from that album.
also, much of these sales figures are spread out over a decade or longe, and i the case of sonic youth albums, sometimes 25 YEARS
