What percentage goes to the artist when you buy straight from iTunes?

For example, if I get a 4 song album for $3.96, how much should I expect the artist to get?

    The record company gets 70 cents out of the 99 cents (I think)...Apple makes more money than the artists do, so if Apple gets almost 30 cents, I imagine the artist gets around a dime per song.
