This Artist Recording Agreement is a contract used by a record company to enter into a contractual agreement with an individual, group or band for their exclusive services as a recording artist for that record label. The royalties paid to an artist under this agreement are based on a percentage of the retail list price suggested to retail stores by the record label. There are calculated deductions and reductions to the royalty rate that reduces the artist royalty. While the label makes more money under this type of royalty calculation to the artist, it is more difficult to calculate the royalties.  If you are looking for a simpler way to calculate royalties that provides the artist the ability to be paid a royalty faster, we recommend checking out the Artist Recording Agreement (Net Profit Royalty). We do have an Explanation for this contract to assist you in understanding the terms and provide an explanation how to fill it out along with some nifty negotiating tips.
