Profitability of Christian music

I removed a bit with a citation from the body of the article that said the band were unprofitable "despite" selling at least a hundred thousand records by the time they split up. The way this is presented is making a ton of assumptions about the music business that don't stand up to scrutiny. Within a few years of Shout breaking up, Nirvana would sell eight million copies of Nevermind; for his troubles, Kurt Cobain only received a million dollars. That's a dollar for every eight CDs he sold. And it took some time to get that far, even for how popular the album was. Read Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana. A statement like this in the article demonstrates a lack of understanding of how record industry politics work (and if it actually came from the source, as in the source itself phrased it that way, that's incredibly tacky of THEM and we should avoid parroting their mistake).
