Not to mention the royalties from the soundtrack, which also sold an insane amount of copies. All tolled it seems that the Landslide cover moved a fraction of those numbers. Like, maybe a fifth of that much.
BTW, Christine isn't making bank off her songwriting roylaties anymore. She sold her publishing to Sony in the mid nineties for a paltry 4 or 5 million dollars. Not sure about the details of the deal, but the publisihing rights, she sold. Though she would still be getting performance royalties, which are different. |
This may sound stupid, but what exactly do you mean by performance royalties?
