Celeb News: Pollstar Mid Year Top Tours Report 2011 - Page 5

Great numbers for Rihanna on that worldwide chart.

Gaga will obviously come out on top.
I'm aware that Rihanna's Loud Tour is expected to be huge in Europe, but Taylor is also continuing her huge tour in the US for the rest of the year....so I'm unsure where that would go.
Then I'd say Britney & Katy will battle it out. Katy is doing more dates but Brits more expensive.

Shakira at #11 on the World-Wide tours!

Isn't Beyoncé touring as well?

I'm sure she will tour but it won't be this year b/c she's shooting 'A Star Is Born' this fall so a tour wouldn't happen til 2012 anyway.

Yass I knew that Shakira would be in the top 20

The latin legend

And Rihanna finally making Pollstar

Gotcha! Now the worldwide numbers make sense.

So here is the lowdown.

Loud Tour has grossed 10.8 million from the first 18 shows.
Rihanna grossed 22.5 million from 24 shows (including the Australian leg from the LGOE Tour)

That means the 6 legs recorded from Australia grossed 11.7 million.
Yet 18 legs from North America only grossed 10.8 million?

That seems dodgy...it means the shows in Oceania grossed nearly $2 million each whilst NA averaged only $600,000. Yet so far the official box offices we've seen (for the Loud tour);

Air Canada Centre - Toronto 2 shows 24,764 / 24,764 (100%) Gross: $2,032,435
Bell Centre - Montreal 2 shows 26,452 / 26,452 (100%) Gross: $2,269,580
Target Center - Minneapolis 1 show 15,508 / 15,508 (100%) Gross: $1,261,730
Palace of Auburn Hills - Auburn Hills, Mich. 1/1 10,639 / 11,135 - $474,198
Staples Center - Los Angeles, Calif. 1/1 14,148 /14,148 - $1,045,114

That's already over 7 million from 7 shows.

I think their numbers are off.

The Toronto and Target Center grosses are fake.

Oh :-/ Well 3.8 million from 4 legs still leaves only 7 million from those remaining 14 shows.

Seems unlikely given that Rihanna tweeted that dates like Baltimore and Vegas were sold out.

My faves getting the money

Fearless

Taylor in both Top 10's.

Also, I have no idea who the hell Luis Miguel is.

Razzle

Taylor

BnPac

Now U2 are beasts.

And nice to see Prince there.

Deemy

Rihanna has only done 19 or 20 shows at most already that might be eligible. But 22.5M is already a promising number!! I want her to gross 50M from NA alone. That's our goal.

You must not know about Australia when it comes to touring. That country is a hotbed for mainstream and rock artists. Almost any pop star can go sellout a arena in Australia and get 1 million+ from the show. Plus the Aussie Dollar>USD.

I think everyone's neglecting something very important

11. SHAKIRA WORLDWIDE

proof that this gurl still sells worldwide even though she's irrelevant in anglo markets
