Either way, my link has as much proof that a large percentage of that payout was an advance as yours did that the advance was linked to multiple records and other conditions.

ah but that the rub, you made the claim that record companies invest in artist in advance of them being a success,
and you just admitted you don't know for sure
i said there has never been any documented proof of that ever
my statement is true as long as there is no documented proof (which is obviously the case if you and i both don't know for sure)
your is a bald face lie until you actually do know for sure.
