However, speaking to BEAT, Allen stated that the single didn't earn her as much as people may think.
When asked how much one could expect to earn in the music industry in 2014, she replied: "Nothing. Everyone assumes I made millions from the John Lewis single - I probably made £8k."
It's because it was a cover so obviously she wasn't going to make much from it. So a single for 99p sold 500,000 copies so made 500,000
So she made 1.6% of the money which is pretty standard
She's not complaining. She's only correcting people's wrong assumptions that a hit song = millions. It was a cover, she wasn't a writer. It's not shocking. I once again love her honestly.
