The Music Industry Report
Billboard Boxscore made a recent tally of 2010’s top grossing shows thus far, and Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 tour took eight of the top 35 spots. Of the eight, Jiggaman’s best-selling show closed out at #10 overall after it grossed $1,322,831.
To give some added perspective on how much an artist can make in two weeks of touring, Jay-Z’s tour, which featured Jeezy and Trey Songz, grossed a total of $9,731,218 between March 11-24. Hov’s recent deal with concert-giant Live Nation, who famously signed him to a “360 deal” worth a reported $150 million, and also organized his 2008 tour with Mary J. Blige, which grossed $34.5 million, is likely responsible for the rapper’s high live performance profits.
Like always, with help of her little monsters.
