Shakira:

Sale El Sol: 3.5-4 million WW
The Sun Comes Out World Tour: $53.5 million with 107 shows

Singles wise I they're about equal, leaning more towards Shakira, she had Waka Waka, Rabiosa, & Loca, but Britney had HIAM, Till The World Ends, I Wanna Go, and WB.

I'd say Britney overall considering Shakira had more promo because of the World Cup.

Don't forget "Scream & Shot," which is only about 1.5 million shy of "Waka Waka" despite not having the World Cup behind it.

$53.2 million vs $68.7 million. That's not including Piece of Me, which would nearly double Britney's tour gross this decade.

NOT TRUE

that $53.2 million amount is only her 2011 european dates

2010: $16.9M (north america only)
2011: $53.2M (europe only)

together that's $70.1 million and it does NOT even include all the dates

the 2010 european gross (21 shows) is not included in the pollstar stats

neither are her asian gross not to mention the latin america gross is not included either because she was part of a pop festival

2010 is considered the last year of the previous decade, hence why you would only include the 2011 gross.

Even if you wanted to include Shakira's 2010 tour gross, Britney is still at around $121 million for the decade. She wins either way.

2009 is considered the last year of the previous decade.

but how can 2010 be the last year of the decade when the modern calendar goes from 1 BC to 1 AD without a 0... 2010 should be the start of a decade



either way, it doesn't make sense to split shakira's tour and to count britney's SECOND tour when shakira only had one

not to mention $70.1 million is not even shakira's total tour gross... it only includes 48 dates and ignores 59 dates

that means more than half of the tour are not even included in the pollstar stats

There was no year zero, the first year was 1 C.E. and the last year of the first decade was 10 C.E. Years ending in 1 are the first year of the decade. Years ending in 0 are the 10th year of the decade. It depends how you define "decade."

The sun comes out tour grossed over 110 million tho. 59M is from the first european leg.

[Scraperwalker]

[taylor__fan]

Maybe in the US Britney was bigger but I shakira was bigger elsewhere

[Eternium]

Britney has sold more albums (Shakira has nominal catalog sales due to her lack of a GH), more singles and way more tour tickets (her gross will be 3x Shakira's by the end of the year).

Shakira has higher streaming.

The tour grossed 53.2 million WORLDWIDE in 2011(1-1-11 to 12-31-11) according to Pollstar. The 2010 North American dates grossed 16.9 million. That brings the total up to 70.1. That number only excludes 21 European dates from 2010. If she only grossed $16.9 million from 24 North American dates, how is it plausible that she grossed an additional 40 million just from those 21 missing European dates, to bring her total up to 110 million?

[Misanthrope]

Waka Waka is surprisingly bigger than everything Britneys done this decade. And Shakira's had some pretty massive hits in spanish speaking realms with her sale el sol album. britneys biggest feat this decade was femme fatale which nabbed her some serious u.s. radio/top40 cred again, but her sales werent massive or anything and the accompanying tour was okay. her vegas residency is impressive but her relevance scale is only so so.

i lean towards shakira because shes global, britney is always relevant but she flails about. and im really not sure how relevant she is if at all outside of the u.s. if any of her fans care to enlighten me go ahead, I really dont know.
