In adopting a model tried, tested and mastered by ‘NSync ‘back in the day’, Beyonce‘s decision to launch a world tour before the release of a new album has seen her rewrite the rules set in place for promoting LPs.
For, in what’s likely to see her forthcoming effort stand as her highest selling release to date, the success of her ‘Mrs.Carter Show’ World Tour has seen her capture the attention of the general public- who purchased tickets for the show in their millions.
Millions, that now have caught the ‘Beyonce fever’ that gripped the world before the unveiling of 2006’s ‘B’Day.’
So, why we we’d put money on her album #5 outperforming her first four?
Good news below…
Billboard Biz reports:
“Beyoncé earns the No. 1 Hot Tours ranking with $44.9 million in box office grosses from her fall tour through cities in Latin America and Australia, taking the Mrs. Carter Show world tour past the $100 million mark in box office sales since launching in April. The overall gross from the ongoing tour is $104.3 million from more than 883,000 sold tickets at 59 performances, based on box office stats reported to Billboard. Kicking off on April 15 in Serbia, the tour played 23 venues in Europe and 24 in North America through the end of August before beginning tour legs in Latin America and Australia in early September.
The revenue reported this week comes from 19 concerts during the fall trek of the pop star’s world tour. Kicking off a five-city swing through Brazil on Sept. 8, Beyoncé performed in stadiums to begin her South American jaunt. The São Paulo market produced the best attendance among the Brazilian stadiums with more than 37,000 tickets purchased at Estádio do Morumbi. In October and November, the tour traveled Down Under to play six arenas in Australia and New Zealand, wrapping on Nov. 9 in Perth. The top-grosser was a run of four shows at Sydney’s Allphones Arena with $9.4 million (US$) in box office revenue. The four-night stand (Oct. 31-Nov. 3) was the arena’s highest-grossing concert engagement this year, topping box office revenue from multiple performances by P!nk, Bruce Springsteen and One Direction, among others.”
The H-I-V+ f**** are a stupid bunch hey??? Paying all that money to go watch TROLLyonce do the same sh*t she been doing since forever.
I though Lana stans were stupid, but the H-I-V+ f**** take the cake.
WTF did Bee do to Gaga? Seriously. And bringing in an Epidemic that kills MILLIONS and comparing THAT to her music fans. Are you Sir/Mdm/Trans Dumb or are you DUMB? #PrayYourOffsprings(IfAny)DontGetThatDisease #PRAY

She looked somewhat human, but she also had many a**-like features. This woman is not attractive at all, and she does look like a m*****.
Ch…just shut up
With all the hype, this tour better beat Madonna’s numbers.
Don’t worry sweetheart, it will!
Even if it does, how many shows she has to do to get those numbers, the double of what Madonna did, no comparison there, Madonna wins.
“the double of what madonna did”, in your dreams. Mdna tour had 90 concerts, not 50!
You’re transparent as hell. Don’t try to hide behind Madonna’s name because Beyoncé has outperformed Rihanna.
*Bowing down*
I’m seeing her this December and I’m super excited to see the Queen, Mrs. Carter!
This tour will be one of the highest grossing tours of ALL TIME!
Not even the late great MJ could grace a stage with flawless live vocals like the queen and still manage to out dance her backup dancers!
Beyonce you have reached an unreachable level and I’m blessed to even be living during YOUR time as Queen.
LOL@ “flawless live vocals” Most of her “vocals” are pre-recorded!! LMFAOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of them are pre-recorded!
Congrats!! No Surprise tho!!!!
I need new music in my life
Congrats.
This is so great , it’s a great tour.
Still No Posts about Rihanna Getting her ICON award At The American Music Awards ?
Bitter Much @Sam ?
Beyonce slaying riwhore like always.
Wow, just goes to show that talent goes a long way. Poor Riri, she has to slap her damn crabs down on that rank p**** every song just to get some funds.
Wow from 59 Dates
ALL HAIL LES QUEEN! <3
What ri have to do with this you haters need to realize ri is still making money all u food stamps recepiant need to quit ur hatred of rihanna beyonce is the queen of ghetto music so step back
I’m here for birdshit’s breakdown. Watch her seethe in 5,4,3,2,1
WTF did Bee do to Gaga? Seriously. And bringing in an Epidemic that kills MILLIONS and comparing it to her music fans. Are you Sir/Mdm/Trans Dumb or are you DUMB? #PrayYourOffsprings(IfAny)DontGetThatDisease #PRAY
Why can’t people congratulate without bringing up other artist? This site is so dang ratchet.
Beyonce is such a S***! Industry w****!
Not Flopara stan coming for someone when that ugly man with a wig will never see $100 million tour even with 2435453454135413545435 shows. Both Rih and Bey grossed over $100 million, when will 37kara? When will Cierror finally get a Gold album? When will she get a hit? And no, Body Part was not a hit. Loveeee Song outsold it even though it wasn’t even released as single. Countdown (a flop single from 4) sold more too. Flopara has been a flop for years. Not to mention that I’m Out and Overdose flopped harder. Go buy her album and help that 2 x toilet paper certified album.
Michael Jackson was more than a performer. He has CLASSIC albums that are still being played 30 years later. People constantly praise her work ethic & her live performances but what about the music? I remember one of the reviews from one of her shows praising the concert but they said the music wasn’t as good and wasn’t on the same level as her production.
Madonna did 88 shows, her longest tour ever, at the end of Beyonce’s tour how many dates will she do. She’s not on Madonna’s tour power level, she has to work a lot to even come closer to her.
LOL@you trying to bring up Madonna’s tour as a distraction. The real bottom line here is that Beyonce has outgrossed Rihanna, and with less shows. It’s no surprise tho. Bey has talent, Rihanna has crabs. Deal with it.
con grant to queen talente and hard work go far people never get tired to see talente beauty bey got it all I can’t wait to see her again dece long live queen bey very blessed and proud to be a fan for life thanks Sam for posting
What else is new?? She is a “black” female singer who is getting the white people money, white endorsements, blah blah…theres one every 50 years…nothing new. Boring much?
Beyonce is the best performer alive. She is simply more talented than any of her peers. Beyonce is a better performer than Michael Jackson & Madonna!
Yes, I said it better than MJ & Madge. Her voice is so powerful live, her stamina, energy, vocals, dancing, intense levels, rawness is far more surpior than Michael Jackson.
Beyonce deserves to get Madonna’s touring numbers. She is simply better than Madonna live. All Madonna does is run around shock people with stupid offesive acts & lipsynces.. Beyonce does not need smoking mirrors like MAdonna. Beyonce CAN SING DANCE AT THE SAME DAMN TIME WITHOUT MISSING A SINGLE STEP..
The only thing missing in Beyonce’s career is she simply needs BETTER SONGS THAT ARE MORE ENJOYABLE.
Beyonce’s music SUCKS thats what is keeping her back from being extremely huge. The public really does not like the GHETTO songs that floods her albums. Also, her ballads are sometimes sappy & forgettable until she performs them live.
IN OTHER WORDS BEYONCE NEEDS BETTER FAR BATTER MATERIAL
So you think Beyonce’s dancing compares to MJ? I don’t really see how you can compare the two. To me Usher, CB & Ciara are more comparable dancers to him. I’ll give her vocals but dancing not so much. If you look at any “best dancers list’ Beyonce is no where to be found. So what do you think about her dancing?
LOL SIT YOUR DUMB DELUSIONAL ASS DOWN. ON MJ’S WORST DAY, HE SHYTS ON FLOPONCE’S ENTIRE EXISTENCE.
FLOPONCE STANS ARE EVEN MORE DELUSIONAL THAN GAGA STANS
4Realdoe you mad cause your fave can’t sang on stage? B**** sit you dumb ass down.
Well duh she is a black woman. She’s gonna always have to work harder to get a white womans success
Sam I wish you would FIX YO FUVKING TACKY ASS SITE. WHY EVERTIME I TURN AROUND SOMETHING IS WRONG OR SOME F****** ERROR POPS UP OR WHEN I REPLY TO PEOPLE IT POST AS IF I DIDNT EVEN REPLY TO THEM..
FIX YOUR TACKY SITE & KEEP IT FIXED!
You always got something f***** up on this site. Either the comments section is f***** up or the log in system dont work or the page dont upload right or one of your staff members deleting comments and or putting up false thumbs up/down numbers…
A F****** MESS SAM
Samantha you’re always f**kin’ late
Anyway
“The Mrs. Ticketmaster Show” has surpassed $145.1M from 83 shows. With the 9 shows yet to be reported + 15 dates in North America, it’ll surpass $180M. With 2014 European, Asian and possibly African and 2nd Latin/Carrebian legs, it’ll pass $200 and maybe 250 million worldwide.
Yes sir!
B****** Please only reason Madonna tour brought in so much because people paid 200 Dollars or much. With Beyonce she started off her tour with 45 dollars so it can be affordable. Now b****** sit. beyonce tour is about to gross over 150 Million. And Billboard already late on sales because she have gross over 145 Million in tour…
Shade that wash up b**** lol. Ciara is a f****** flop like always..
yessssss queen! bey is our queen and rihanna is our princess! 100 million+ grossing tours—b****** are slaying!!! cici needs to get her hateful ass stans, but baby girl is probably too worried about futures d*** to be concerned. kii.
LOL
The b**** slays live you can’t deny that. And you know you are the s*** when the only way people can try and discredit you is with Madonna the Queen (who charges like $200 a ticket)
Congrats Bey. Britney did this after her 2nd world tour.
Don’t worry Pop, no one cares anyways! Have a good one 🙂
Don’t worry Pop, no one cares anyways! Have a good one!!
🙂
THE MRS WIG SNATCHER TOUR! I THOUGHT SHE WAS LOCAL?
If MDNA charges $200 a ticket and Bey charges $45 and MDNA still out grossed her… How is Bey slaying her. But congrats Bey. The tour has actually brought in around $120 million from 85 shows. She still has 20 shows left. She’ll probably bring in around $145-150 million when the tour is done. MDNA’s revunes are much larger than Bey’s. Bey’s average venue size was around 20k while MDNA’s was around 35k
bey > madge.
Awwww… Mad much. Loveeeeeee Song was a single, it just never had a video. Countdown reached the Top 10 on the R&B/HH and was never released to Rhythmic or Mainstream radio… So when you throw shade. Make sure it’s correct
Madonna is like nearly 60 and yall are comparing someone with over 30 years of experience to Beyonce who is just 32 and a black woman.
Beys doing this OFF HER NAME ALONE. Give her credit.
And off 59 shows? Aw looks like yall can no longer use the ‘more dates’ excuse.
The real shade is that aftef 50 yrs Diana has never headlined a major tour and Mariah’s only toured in the US at small venues. Ciara has performed at stadiums in Africa, Australia and South America. Go look on youtube, Ciara live in brazil, south africa, zomambique and australia.
Congrats Beyonce! This is huge for a Black artist. I don’t know why Britney and Madonna stans are trying to throw shade. Beyonce outgrossed Britney’s highest grossing tour with less tour dates lol. Madonna has four decades worth of fans, I don’t recall her doing these numbers at the age of 32! So keep it cute. Also, Congrats to Rihanna, her first tour grossing over 100 million after 7 albums. That’s a huge achievement.
And MDNA didn’t get the 2 highest grossing tours by a solo artists off her name. The Sticky & Sweet Tour grossed $420 million even though Hard Candy flooped and The MDNA Tour grossed $350 million even after MDNA flopped
Performance and energy wise, I will say she is closer to MJ than Chris and Ciara. Sure they are better dancers than her, but they don’t come close to her energy and stage presence! Michael had them all.
@ Antonio your numbers are false ..
1) Pollstar: $55.6M / 36 dates
2) Billboard: $89.6M / 47 dates
So that’s $145M+ / 83 dates reported
Cierror could never lol
Congrats.
Beyonce better performen than Madonna, that’s why Rolling Stone ranked Madge #1, as the best female performer, Bey as second, Madonna need visuals because what she does is art, Bey is a great performer but she hasn’t done anything remotaly close to art in her shows. Are we serious about this?.
Give it a second… he’ll probably post after she accepts it tonight so he can have a video or something with it
Im so proud of her. Congrats Queen Bey.
Madonna needs so many visuals and tricks, because she can’t on stage a capture an audience with her voice, dance moves, and stage presence like Prince, Janet, and Michael could. I love Madge though, just my opinion.
Pure slaying off her name and talent alone no new music and still killen it!!
Yass mother bey slay.
Congrats to Beyonce, but her fans need to stop the “she’s better than MJ/Madonna” nonsense. She is LIGHT YEARS behind them in talent and concert tour grosses. If you wanna really go there,
*MJ was named 2013’s highest paid celebrity, dead or alive, with the highest grossing tour of 2013, dead or alive.
*MADONNA has the 2 highest grossing tours of all time by a female artist, and 2 tours in the Top 10 highest grossing tours of all time by ANY artist.
until Beyonce can achieve either of these accomplishments, it’s idiotic to say she’s better than MJ or Madonna, because SHE’S NOT. This generation needs to learn how to congratulate their faves without disrespecting the Legends.
Lol its not even Beyonce stan who said that, it was a LAMB (Mariah Carey fan)^^^^
LIES. FLOPONCE STANS ALWAYS SAY SHE IS BETTER THAN EVERYBODY. TOO BAD SHE CAN’T SELL RECORDS LIKE EVERYBODY LOL
And if you think Beyonce is better performer than Madge you are entitled to that opinion. Because Beyonce IS a better all rounder she is just not as artistic but art =/= performance skills its two seperate things. So its debatable.
Why are people being up Madonna? Is she on tour right now and one of Beyonce’s competitors? No. So bringing her up not only is pointless, but seems like a diversionary tactic to make people forget that Beyonce’s show is literally wrecking her actual competition — namely Rihanna. I see you Navy. Madonna is irrelevant to this conversation.
LOL LIES. REMEMBER BEYH-I-V+, BILLBOARD ISN’T A CREDIBLE SOURCE, & THEY DON’T TRACK CONCERT GROSSES OR TICKET ATTENDANCE. REMEMBER WHEN Y’ALL WERE SAYING THAT WHEN RIHANNA’S TOUR PASSED $100 MILLION? LOL
The things you have to read, Madonna has no stage presence, she can’t dance, Janet’s voice is better, ok, i give up.
The slayage. DEATH at people comparing her to the greats because you know she slays all her peers right now. Beyonce is not stupid, she knows at some point radio will not support you forever no matter who you are, she makes sure she has s*** to fall back on. She has got her acclaim and her carved a powerful name for herself. She will be one of the people who will always make money from Touring because she is an excellent performer. Other artists would never be able to Tour without all the hype. Beyonce can. And shes proved this.
Anyway congrats this was inevitable.
In my humble opinion, her best Tour was her I Am Tour, you can tell that she is a mother now but the kiii is she is still lightyears ahead of most.
Let’s not go there and be as ignorant enough as to even try and downplay to extremely important legends of the music world as MJ and Madonna.That’s just pure delusion to even try that.
Anyway knowing how bitter people are on this site no doubt they will try and belittle this accomplishment. Just know what it took most Hit single,New albums and stadium dates to do Beyonce did with none of that. Who else could do this at only 32 with only 4 solo albums to their name one of which didn’t even do commercially well? I always say the best part about a B fan is she never has to go out her way to shut people up. She just does her and her accomplishments and success speaks for itself. Now that is power.
CONGRATS JAY Z! THIS TOUR WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN A SUCCESS IF IT DIDN’T HAVE YOUR NAME ON IT!
@Queenhanna your point? It still wasn’t a Bey stan who made that comment. You sound pressed darling.
LOL B**** YOU’RE THE PRESSED ONE IF YOU KEEP CHASING ME TO RESPOND. FLOPONCE STANS ALWAYS SAY SHE’S BETTER THAN EVERYBODY. NOW DEAL WITH THE TRUTH AND STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND LOL
LOL DADDY KNOWLES BOUGHT THE GRAMMYS, SEAN CARTER PUT HIS NAME ON THE TOUR TO SELL THE TICKETS, WILL FLOPONCE EVER DO ANYTHING ON HER OWN? LOL
Thats REAL power in her name.
LOL YOU MEAN HER HUSBAND’S NAME LOL
Not this fake Gaga stan hiding behind Rihannas name doing the most as usual.
If its because of Jay Zs name why is his Tour not doing as well as wifes? The pathetic excuses are hilarious. Remain pressed.
LOL HE’S DOING A STADIUM TOUR, DEAR. FLOPONCE CAN NEVER SELL OUT A STADIUM TOUR.
DON’T PRETEND THAT JAY Z ISN’T PULLING THE STRINGS THAT DADDY KNOWLES PASSED TO HIM. REMAIN PRESSED THAT FLOPONCE CAN’T SURVIVE WITHOUT A MAN DOING THE WORK FOR HER LOL
@Queenhanna Uhmmm but you responded to me first babe. To a comment that was not addressed to you.
LOL AND YET HERE YOU ARE AGAIN. I MUST HAVE HIT A NERVE TO HAVE YOU FOLLOWING ME AROUND LIKE A LAP DOG, KINDA LIKE WHAT FLOPONCE IS TO JAY Z LOL
SLAY! THE QUEEN STAYS SCHOOLIN HEAUXS!
So why isn’t it doing as well ‘dear’?
YAWN…HER MUSIC IS STILL HORRIBLE.BEYONCE CAN SING BUT HER SONGS SUCK..I HAVEN’T BEEN INTERESTED IN BEYONCE SINCE DC.SHE HAS A GREAT VOICE AND THATS IT. ANYWAYS CONGRATS ON THAT TOUR.
Yasss I went she is absolutley amazing. She deserves all her success shes one of the biggest black Touring acts ever and I can see why. She could do another Tour next year with an album of new music and it would slay most. Beyonce is the bomb, haters will always search for excuses. Seethe because she doesn’t need 7 eras to her name, endles damage control on twitter to sell and do well. The fact she is being compared to MJ on stage should say enough.
Congrats. You can discredit her all you want the figures remain the same.
She is a true boss b****.
If Beyonce 5th album lands at number one, she will be the only artist in history to have her first 5 albums debut at number 1 on Billboard. She’s tied with DMX and Britney Spears with 4 right now….
I’m so proud of Bey! She works so hard and it’s great to see an artist getting what they deserve. I saw the tour in July and I didn’t want the night to end. I’ll be seeing her again in December! Bey’s truly amazing!
You replied to me first and continue to reply to me so you’re doing even more stalking doll.
complete utter death at you coming for the mother f****** ICONIC diana ross. are you really comparing an irrelevant flop singer who only had one successful album to a legend? let me school you real quick queen—diana Ross was THE first black popstar ever. did ciara headline these so-called stadium tours? i didnt think so! shes barely relevant in the projects of atlanta and she damn sure aint poppin internationally. and im not even going to start on legendary queen mariah. has cici ever had a headlining tour anyway miss antonio?
Wooo hooo go Bey!
diana ross – over 100 million records sold. billboard entertainer of the century. beyonce now has the torch and carries it well. b**** — when the f*** will ciara?? waiting…..
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha SLAY QUEEN! SLAY QUEEN! The woman is PURE UNSTOPPABLE FIREEEEY SLAYAGE!!!!! Who does this??????? Off no new music? And suppose to be an Flop??? LIVING LEGEND! And lmao @ the ongoing miserable struggle. How did Madonna or MJ name pop up? Could it be that she SLAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS your favs so bad! The only way you can deal, is to name drop Music mortals lmaoooooo. No disrespect towards Madonna but critics have been callin KING B the female MJ or the Head Female Performer in Charge of any many years. That’s based off raw stage presence commmanding the stage and “I’m not Human Energy”. KING B produces better stage presence, performs and has a better voice! Tina Turner and KING B are the only two who can come close to MJ throne. Just keep BOWING because she is THE UNDISPUTED QUEEN OF THE STAGE! #2013/2014…….THE YEARS OF BEYONCE
All I care about is that Beyonce is #1 and Rihanna is #2. Even though I think there a more deserving tours that should have that runner up position over her.
Congrats to her. I guess she wasn’t joking when she said “strong enough to bare the children, then get back to business. ”
Why people bringing up Madonna beats the f*** out of me.
Yessssssss Miss Ross! School these Irrelevant Lesser H*** stans lmao. Ciflop is barley hanging on to a career and her stans act like she’s this boss bish bwahahahahahahahaha. Ciflop will never here the word Iconic in front of her name like the Legandary Diana Ross.
i like how rihanna is brought up and its not even an article about her tour
@MC just the same happens to Beyonce in almost every post. Theres no need to point that out, nothing knew.
Congratualtions I can’t say Im surprised shes a bigger Touring force than all her contemporaries now. Funny because people were quick to shade this Tour and now look…
When Bey means business, thats exactly what she gets.
Besides Gaga, i’ll give it to Gaga her Tour numbers slay.
Every word she sings is flawless, hater.
Go Bey!
Shut up Ciara stans!
So I’m guessing Billboard is reporting “facts” since it’s Beyonce. Remember what the H** said when Billboard reported Rihanna’s figures?
The H** are so transparent. Not only did the lie about the MCS being sold out, they have a double standard.
Congrats. Bey killing it as usual. Continue to seetheeeeeeeee!
Damn all yall try to down Beyoncé as a force, she’s doing all this with no new album supporting. That’s some s*** not everyone can do unless they are over a certain age and been in the game for decades. The girl slays.
mwah 🙂
With high quality performances like she does, it’s a no brainer for the public to go watch it
Congratulations Bey! And still more dates to go. It just goes to show that talent and true performance will win anyone over. You don’t need gimmicks and quick fix hits to stay relevant. I’m excited to see what album #5 brings, I hope it continues to grow like she has, with new sounds and styles.. at this point she has nothing to prove.
Go worry about selling Ciara’s raffle tkts to fund her next mixtape.
