Who gets what from recording music?

First to answer this question, I must explain what a royalty is.  A royalty describes the percentage ownership of future revenue from a given product. In the music industry, royalties are not always earned the same way, meaning the way a recording artist earns royalties is different than the way a songwriter/ producer earns royalties. For the most part the recording artists get only a small portion of the royalties unless they are "hugely successful commercially".
