^ artist dont really make money off of album sales.
take for example avex. avex contracted ayumi to make music. She is paid wither you buy that single or not.
But it is up to the single sales on wither avex wants to renew that contract with ayumi. If she doesnt sell any singles (just for this example) then avex will not want to renew the contract and she doesnt make any more music.
labels are in the business to make money. pure and simple. and the labels make money buy selling CD's and what not.
EDIT:
oh and the label still gets the same amount of money, it's just lowered because the price is lowered. I guess a better way of saying it is that they still get the same percentage of money.
