When buying an album, what method should I use to ensure that the majority of the money goes to the artist?

A while back, I read an article by a “minor” music artist (not a hugely popular one) who said that he gets mere pennies from Apple through his album sales on iTunes.
But I never heard any other artists corroborate this story, or never saw any breakdown of where my money goes, so I can’t be too sure the legitimacy of his statement.
Do digital download from Amazon allocate a greater percentage of the cost to the artists? Will a physical CD somehow get the artist more money? Is there some other digital download website that’ll feed the artist even more than Amazon or iTunes?
What is the optimal way to financially support the people who make the music I love?
