Sorry dude, but you're way off on this one.
Bands make almost no money with album sales, pretty much all of it goes to the record label. In some cases (depending on the contract) the band only gets about 20 cents per album...
That's why nowadays bands are obliged (of course some do it because they want) to have radio-friendly songs or to release 4 or 5 singles from an album to fill up the record label's bank account...
...And that's also why record labels suck... And why most music nowadays also sucks... And I could go on...
Bands make most money thanks to Tours, Merchandise, etc... NOT from albums sales.
