U2 is tops again in concert and music-sales revenue



U2 amassed $160.8 million for 2011, well ahead of runner-up Taylor Swift, whose combined earnings came to $126.8 million. Lady Gaga was the only other act to top $100 million, posting $109.4 million to place third. Country music road warrior Kenny Chesney landed in fourth place with $98.5 million. The year's blockbuster album and singles sales champ, Adele, pulled in at fifth place with $92.8 million, a figure that certainly would have been higher if vocal cord problems hadn't forced her to cancel big chunks of her 2011 tour itinerary.

Among the noteworthy trends last year?

Here are the numbers:

1. U2: $160.8 million. The Irish quartet wrapped up its stadium tour in grand fashion, leaving behind the highest-grossing tour of all time, according to Pollstar. With just $3.2 million last year from album sales and $1.6 million from track downloads, the band piled on an additional $156 million in the final round of shows on its 360 Tour.

2. Taylor Swift: $126.8 million. Swift turned 22 last month, but she's already become an international star, selling out arenas and stadiums across the globe. Her $97.7-million North American tour gross was topped with $20.4-million worth of album sales and $8.7 million in digital track revenue.

3. Lady Gaga: $109.4 million. The chameleonic pop chanteuse burst out of the gates last year with the fastest-selling album in nearly six years, ultimately yielding $31.1 million in revenue from album sales, plus an additional $14.6 million from 12.8 million digital downloads. That was still considerably less than the $63.7 million she earned while playing 39 shows for her Little Monsters in arenas and amphitheaters around the continent.

4. Kenny Chesney: $98.5 million. It wasn't a big year at retail for the favorite son of Luttrell, Tenn., who logged just a shade over $9 million in album sales, plus $4.9 million in downloaded tracks. But Chesney keeps packing them in on the concert trail as one of only three acts -- along with U2 and Swift -- to sell more than 1 million concert tickets last year. That brought him $84.6 million in concert revenue.

5. Adele: $92.8 million. Adele's throat troubles left her with just 15 concerts in North America that grossed $2.5 million. So the vast majority of her Ultimate Top 10 take is the result of the stunning numbers posted by "21" and "Rolling in the Deep." Her album sales figure out at $74.1 million, with nearly $16.2 million more from sales of 14.2 million digital tracks.

6. Lil Wayne: $87.6 million. New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne divided things nearly evenly last year, posting $44.4 million on the road and about $43.2 million from album and singles sales. He also bucked the long trend of rap faring poorly in the concert business; with the success of the Kanye West/Jay-Z tour, other rappers may now reason that success isn't utterly dependent on record sales.

7. "Glee" cast: $65.7 million. OK, so the cast of "Glee" isn't technically a performer, but the collective from Fox's hit show delivered solidly at the cash register and the ticket sales window. The group tour brought in $27.1 million, while sales of albums and tracks added an additional $38.6 million, nearly half of that from individual song downloads.

8. Kanye West/Jay-Z: $65.6 million. The hip-hop dream team came together and stayed together long enough to craft a hit album, "The Throne," and a tour that overflowed with chemistry -- and hits. As a duo, they rallied for $48.3 million in concert and an additional $17.3-million worth of album and track sales.

9. Bon Jovi: $63.1 million. This New Jersey outfit keeps on rocking and rocking and rocking ... . There was no new album last year, and just $6 million in album and single sales. But on the road, the band had another nice day with $57.1 million at the box office.

10. Katy Perry: $58 million. Santa Barbara's cheerleader-turned-pop queen led the field in sales of downloads, posting a record 15.2 million tracks last year, which allowed her to slip past some tight competition from Britney Spears and Elton John to take the No. 10 slot. Her tour gross of $28.4 million, combined with album revenue of $12.3 million and $17.3 million in downloaded hits, ought to offer some comfort in light of her recent split with hubby Russell Brand.

Taylor Swift Wins Favorite Country Artist at 2012 People’s Choice Awards
By: Amy Sciarretto | Yesterday



Someone better tell Taylor Swift to add a wing onto her house in order to store all of her awards, since she just added another one to her copious collection of trophies and statuettes. The singer won the Favorite Country Artist Award at the 2012 People’s Choice Awards, which were televised this evening (Jan. 11).

Swift’s award was not televised, as was the case for most of the night’s music awards, and she wasn’t in attendance. That means you didn’t miss the ‘Ours’ singer looking stunning in a red carpet dress or dropping her jaw in shock, or making her super adorable “I can’t believe I just won” face, which has become her awards show signature.

Swift notched the big win despite some hefty competition in the form of Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum and Rascal Flatts.

The album will be produced by Grammy-winning producer T Bone Burnett and released before the movie hits theaters on March 23. Burnett and the group the Civil Wars got together to write an original tune for the CD with Swift, the first single, “Safe and Sound,” which was released to iTunes on December 23. The tune shot to #1 on the iTunes singles list within 24 hours of release. Arcade Fire will also serving up some fresh new tracks on the soundtrack as well. They collaborated with Burnett on Horn of Plenty and the Decemberists, who’ve offered up the original song “One Engine.” While the rest of the artists and tracks remain unknown the rumour is that the soundtrack will feature all new songs based on themes that figure into the movies storyline.

The Hunger Games is based off the popular young adult novel by Suzanne Collins and follows the path of 16 year old Katniss Everdeen who enters into a vicious televised tournament to save her sister from the fate and is pitted against 23 other teens in a post-apocalyptic society to fight to the death for the entertainment of the masses.
