She broke her record of concert attendees by selling out the Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with over 60,000 tickets sold.
According to Billboards, from the 53 shows, Bey grossed $53.5 million and drawn 667,509 fans from the mostly 15,000-seat arenas.
The tour grossed $86 million from 93 concert shows and 108 show total grossed $119,5 million."

Is this confirmation that Beyoncé's receipts and Destiny Child's receipts are to be kept separate now?

Why is it that in every thread over 3 pages you always get these 'why is this thread not closed yet ?' people coming in droves. It's annoying.

But the inference was Beyonce needed a big televised event to move tickets, yet it doesn't really speak to why the 2nd North American leg sold out 4 months after the Super Bowl... to say nothing of the Australian leg and the 2nd European leg.

Hun, I just clocked that. When Bey did the SB it was all kinds of "local" on ATRL. But now it's responsible for her slaying Europe, Australia, and South America. Gotta love the ATRL logic when it comes to Bey.

I'm not shading anyone, I was clearing up with Billboard facts on the comment. 
You clearly didn't read that I wasn't even commenting on the Super Bowl thing, it was that she wasn't selling out on her previous shows. But I 'fangirled' today as you put it, so you must not have an updated calendar.

The SB, an American tradition. Helped Bey grossed more then 150 millon outside the US. I remember once upon a time, on ATRL, when the SB was called local. It doesn't matter where Beyonce played. She was going to slay regardless because she's Bey and her power and name increases EVERY year.
You can not and will not win an argument that's based on incline vs. decline.

All I'm going to say is that, regardless if you think that the Superbowl is "local," if you don't think that it helped her sell tickets:

This thread was made before and I said Gaga.
This thread is made now, and Bey had the MCWT and On The Run, currently doing well. She established herself as an amazing touring artist, and definitely is ahead of Gaga but not by a huge margin.
Anyways, Beyoncé. But both are impressive nonetheless.

'She was grossing similar number before the Superbowl anyways.'

Check her previous shows on Wikipedia, a majority weren't sold out, that's all I was saying.
I know that The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour wasn't announced until after the Super Bowl.

It did help with the US sales, we are not denying that. But what about the WW sales?
"Due to the high demand, one extra show was added in Amsterdam, one extra show in Antwerp, two extra shows in London and a third date in Manchester
Phone firm O2, which was behind the pre-sale of the UK shows, said it could have sold out London’s O2 Arena 150 times with the number of website hits with a spokesman noting the "unprecedented level of demand from O2 customers looking to buy tickets".Following the frenzied rush for tickets during the general sale, the UK tour had completely sold out within three minutes.
Tickets for Rock in Rio became available for general sale on April 4, 2013 and within two hours, the first day of the festival, in which Beyoncé was headlining, had sold out all 65,000 tickets. 20,000 tickets had already sold out from the pre-sale a few months before. It was revealed that Beyoncé set the record for the highest number of concert attendees in Brazil for the year 2013, with more than 230,000 fans attending her 5 shows in the country
On July 7, 2013, Beyoncé's performance at the Essence Music Festival broke the attendance record with over 70,000 people in attendance."

Depends on the title of the thread or what's being asked. If the thread is about solo albums sold or solo tour gross, obviously I would only count solo. However, if the thread is asking about total career receipts, albums and tours etc, that would include DC as well.

The only correct answer is Beyoncé.
Gaga is no longer much of a touring force (or a force in any department) anymore.

But your friend AHemsworth was denying it.
And I'm not trying to dispute the fact that her worldwide numbers are impressive. The Superbowl probably didn't do much to help her worldwide, but to say that it didn't help her in the USA is delusional.
