I thought it was in 2007, a year before Madonna's 400m+ tour.
And a few years later Beyonce already grossed half of it, And your comparing Beyonce her first world tour to rihanna her 4e if you want to be fair you would have to compare the good girl gone bad tour gross to the 90 millioon from tbe.
Beyonce's tour 7 years into her career grossed 90m, Rihanna's tour 7 years in 140m.
even though within 7 years of her career Rihanna was already on album #7 while Bey only had 3 albums, 7 years into her solo career. I mean, how can you even compare the 2.
