Wow thats a lot lower than I expected the label ripped the kid off, this single sold like crazy, he got nothing, They are like this with young kids they need people with them to make sure they don’t get dooped like this if he has more singles forget the albums cause they will be low. The label would of made all the money. This kid got played bad. Atleast he got some pay. But wow alot lower than I expected. The song is crap anyways but he should of definitely made more,
