Speaking to Q Radio, she claimed that she generates most of her revenue from other ventures, such as licensing songs for use in television shows.
"I don't make any money out of record sales at all. I make money out of touring and syncs, publishing," she said. "My songs being put on Grey's Anatomy, things like that.
"I don't make any money at all from selling an album, which is probably why I feel so angry about doing all this promotion because I am not earning any money out of it, someone else [is] and they don't have to live with the lasting effects."
Earlier this month, the singer told Word that she had only earned £50,000 from her debut LP Alright, Still, despite the album selling over two million copies worldwide.
Her new album, It's Not Me, It's You, is released in the UK on February 9.
