Only Adele makes that kind of money without leaving her house.
Everyone else has to tour the country/world non-stop.

Adele scales these Moneymaker heights with no help on the touring front in terms of revenue or album promotion.

Swift is a record-selling powerhouse, moving nearly 3 million physical units and more than 1 million digital albums, and a staggering 15.6 million digital tracks, driven by the release of Red and its mega-hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." The bulk of Swift's sold-out Fearless tour took place in 2011; had it been fully in 2012, Swift's ranking would be significantly higher.
|
Taylor had a few shows in AUS/NZ but just as Adele she made it mostly on album/singles sales.

something is weird with Billboard and Gaga in this. According to the disclaimer at the bottom ". For box office, we credited each artist with 34% of gross receipts, typically what's left after the promoter's fee, the artist manager's cut and other costs are subtracted." By Billboards own reported numbers that would put her well up on this list. On the other hand, if in fact Gaga did drop way down in income in spite of her heavy tour, then you know they would have made a headline about that, or at least mentioned her in the main article. They didn't mention her name at all. Something odd is going on there.

Those were the numbers for 2011, we don't have 2012 numbers yet.
In 2011 Beyonce had an album out and A LOT of promo, Roseland, Glastonbury and other performances like BBMA, VMA etc.
In 2012 Adele literally did nothing but 1 Grammy performance.

She didn't tour the US last year. That's why she's not on the list.
One thing's for sure, this list is not for singles artists.
