Yes, it's way more than I expected. I wonder how sustainable it is...

#5An artist with a sales rank of 17,000 on Amazon is making $138,567 on Pandora! Wow!
I wonder how much Pandora makes (or loses) on that artist.

Based on another stat in the article, only 800 artists earn than $50k per year. That means that while that artist is only ranked 17,000 in sales on Amazon, they happen to be in the top ~500 on Pandora.

That's a very interesting phenomenon. I wonder what the explanation is for it.

That they're more popular on Pandora than Amazon.

#9A middle class living (depending on how many ways it's split) as just one source of revenue isn't a bad deal. Not to mention there's a promotional aspect to streaming on Pandora as well.

Pandora is a music discovery tool that is not based on popularity. That is, if you tell Pandora you like a certain type of music, Pandora is about as likely to play similar obscure music as it is to play similar popular music. Other similar services such as Spotify or Last.fm base their music suggestions on the person song graph rather than on the attributes of the music, so they will primarily suggest very popular music (which I will flagrantly assume is well correlated with Amazon sales rankings).
Edit: Oh, I see. I assume these artists just have much better music than they have marketing. It would be interesting to know what sets them apart, though.
