"Some breakdowns I found online claims that each song give apple 0.34$ to cover all those expenses, and 0.65$ go to the labels. Of those 0.65$ 0.10$ go to
the artist and 0.025 to producers. So 0.525$, or more than half the price goes to the labels, after deducting the costs for the artists."
That may be true for artists with major label deals, but independent artists get a much higher percentage. For example, artists who use CD Baby to put their
stuff on iTunes get 59 cents out of the 99.
