  17. Keri Qween June 29, 2016

    Didnt this get posted already ?

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 29, 2016

      Why do u care?? I CAN’T WAIT FOR KERI’S STADIUM TOUR, ITS GOING TO BE LIT.

  18. B_Roni June 29, 2016

    It’s a shame that most people on here aren’t smart . If you actually researched what you were arguing about instead of listening to what you hear in the media , you wouldn’t sound crazy. As a fan of Rihanna and Beyonce, both are doing great . Even if Rihanna sold every ticket she still wouldn’t be selling more than bey or the other acts. Why? Simple her arenas only seat 20 thousand capacity and some are less than that . Secondly a1/4 of the arena is blocked out because she isn’t facing that part. Her ticket sells are 85 dollars average meaning that even if she completely sold out every arena in the U.S., she still would be making 1.5 to 1.8 million a night. So I don’t get the hate . Simple math shows she is doing fine.

    • B_Roni June 29, 2016

      Average 88*

    • SWISH June 29, 2016

      finally some logic. if they would read a book as much as they argue about petty matters they don’t have control over, they would understand this.

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 29, 2016

        Yes, the hive is dumb and stupid. So answer this question…WHY THE HELL DID RIHANNA, WHO IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST STARS AT THE MOMENT, FAIL TO SELL OUT HER ARENA’S IN THE US??

    • bash June 29, 2016

      So shade…but the blocked off seats are more than made up for by the ppl on the floor

    • Common Sense June 29, 2016

      But here’s where that logic gets destroyed. Kenny Chesney’s (who has a far more limited audience than Rihanna) average ticket price is $20 lower than Rihanna’s as Are Ricky and Maroon 5 all are grossing more than her nightly. The only 2 artist touring stadiums in the top 10 are Bey and Bruce. Rihanna is still being out grossed NIGHT NIGHTLY by artist with lower average ticket prices who are also doing arenas. The stadium is no excuse.

  19. #JACKIE June 29, 2016

    Ricky Martin? Kii has he even had a hit since Living La Vida Loca? Not him outgrossing Rihanna. I can’t!

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 29, 2016

      EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! A NINE WEEK NO 1 AND YET..LOL

      • #JACKIE June 29, 2016

        ?

    • Lea June 30, 2016

      @Jackie, Gul didn’t Ciara get served the last time she was on tour trying to perform promise?

  20. East African girl June 29, 2016

    This year Beyonce play victim black card and media helped her promo “FORMATION” was good for her and Used black community including her husband been Cheater.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 29, 2016

      OK.

  21. cocobutta June 29, 2016

    I know this my girl Bey moment and post (see ya Sunday Bey) BUT GURLS let me tell you BRANDY SLAYED ME last night and was a honor to see her live in the Indigo2. Full to capacity and she defo a showgirl as well as tonal vocal beast. Low riffs gave me the shakes.
    Just wanted to give her some deserved Kudos.

    Sidenote: One her bvs TRIEEEED it about he singing doing the splits. Those crushed balls affected couple of his notes ??

  22. Lisa jones June 29, 2016

    You can hate on bey all day. She may not be creative but her drive and work ethic keeps her at the top. Bravo Bey!! Not part of the bey hive!!

  23. FASHION_ICON ~ Anti&Lemonade June 29, 2016

    It’s average revenue for a night…not the complete boxscore nothing can be said for now
    And not Selena Gomez outselling jackie tour in one night with average numbers…

  24. JOHNVIDAL June 29, 2016

    Congrats to Mariah Carey. Somehow she´s been becoming a touring act these last couple of years. Something she has never been. It´s like it is gthef irst time she is really trying, and she´s not doing bad at all. Which is not easy if she didn´t establish herself as one when she was at her prime, like others did (Celine for example). So congrats. She´´ s been getting a lot of confidence on stage lately. And great voice.
    Congrats to Beyonce (don´t care about her). But she is the most successful female overall right now after Adele. And it´s been like that since Lady Gaga stopped being in that first/second place. Beyonce is proving to have a lot of longevity. Rihanna has never been top2 success wise (overall). Talent wise she is not even top100 taking into account all the artists we know 🙂

    • SWISH June 29, 2016

      lmfaoo rihanna’s name stays in your mouth more than your own fave’s

  25. Selenator *Kills Em With Kindness* June 29, 2016

    Oh I miss read that, I thought Rihanna was close to $2 million a night. Regardless, over $1 million a night is not flopping by any means. She’s not doing as well as Beyonce but that doesn’t mean she is flopping lol. I believe Katy Perry’s Prismatic World Tour was averaging a million a show too, with some hitting $2 million and she ended up grossing over $200 million. Rih will do the same. Beyonce is coming for the record books though. She is a touring force.

    I’m predicting the Revival Tour will gross between $50-65 million at the end. Some of her dates are reaching near $1 million a show. This will definitely be her best selling tour. It’s also rumored that Revival is getting a re-release, and Im here for it.

  26. Truth June 29, 2016

    LOL@Rihanna’s pitifully ranking here. #8? Sheer comedy! She’s about as good at selling tickets as she is selling albums.

  27. XoMoDe June 29, 2016

    Oh Riri…gurl those #’s a baaaaadddd! Ha.

  29. Avi June 29, 2016

    So I take it ET couldn’t get Samsung to buy her concert tickets too?

  30. Naz June 29, 2016

    Not bad Mariah. She’s doing verry well in Vegas. That number is pretty high for a vegas show since she is performing in a 4,100 seats theatre. She is working very hard this year, from Vegas shows to European and African Tour then back fo Vegas and scheduled to resume the Sweet Fantasy tour in South America then back fo US for her Christmas show residency. Well done Mimi. ??????

  31. King B June 29, 2016

    Congrats “Localyoncé”. Selling singles, albums and tickets effortlessly 20 years into her career. I love how she doesn’t have to become a s**** by doing 100 dates but effortlessly gross that much. Same for OTR tour, where she only did 20 dates, if Im wrong. While a certain boss had to tour how many dates? 100? 90? Some can’t even tour, oh well she can’t even get a release date. I bet the “songwriter’s” income gonna drop since everyone running to Sia now.

  32. King B June 29, 2016

    Anyway, congrats to Global Superstar for breaking another record. Even though Bey actually had 23 top 5 hits in her whole career. But the difference is that, Bey can actually sell albums and tours. As usual, Keri does not have any record in the record books. She can’t even win BET smh.

    • Naz June 30, 2016

      That is Mariah Vegas number babe. 598K per night in Vegas is quite good actually if you considered she is performing in a 4,100 seats theatre.
