AMY MACDONALD - MACDONALD EARNED NOTHING FROM NUMBER ONE ALBUM

MACDONALD EARNED NOTHING FROM NUMBER ONE ALBUM

The thrill of topping the U.K. album charts has waned for Scottish singer AMY MACDONALD, because she hasn't made a penny from her number one record.
The newcomer hit the top spot last year (08) with her debut release This is the life.
But MACDonald insists she's yet to enjoy the trappings of fame, because all of the money she earned from the album and her subsequent tour has been swallowed up by costs.
She writes on her Twitter.com page, "I have yet to make one penny from album sales. People don't realise how much it costs to make and release an album. You don't have a proper idea about gigs. The money is all swallowed up by promoters and agents. I haven't made money from gigs".
