You’re telling me Springsteen made less than 32m? I don’t believe it.

Madonna can ■■■■ off, never tours here.

I've said worse on here. Sometimes things make mad.

Todd McKenny unlucky.

Surprisingly, there were only 4 people there I've never heard of.

 

F***ing Bieber? F***ing $58m? F***ing people should be streilised if they pay him one f***ing red f***ing cent.

Is being streilised something the Khmer Rouge did to people?

 

Noonan must have been furious if he made that spelling error. Like, real F***ing angry!

 

Sh** f***ing yeah! I want this guy publicly garrotted.

Actually an even bigger question again is, who the fark pays money to see/listen to Coldplay??  Zzzzzzzzzz..... 

There are a lot of mentally ill people in the world. 

What am I doing with my life? If that list is anything to go by all I need to do is get an autotune machine and get the cans out. God uni was such a waste of time, all its managed to do is get me a centrelink paycheck…

Thanks ........ coffee out the nose!

Nup, Arts. Otherwise I guess I could've been like Carostooge Wilson cross bred with Katy Perry; spitting vitriolic crap from my mouth through an autotune machine with the cans out......

Kenny Chesney & Toby Keith must be country singers, because Ive never heard of them. Pretty sure Tim McGraw is country too but I couldnt tell you what he sings. The rest Ive heard of at some point, Tiesto is a Dj / electronic produder or something isn't he?.

 

I'd like to know what the figures are based on. As Soulnet asked is it income from record sales or just income in general. If someone gets 20M for being a judge on a TV singing competition does that count in their total?

 

And is it profit related at all, or just income based? Madonna made a crapload but it would have cost a lot to do a world tour with a huge entourage and pay them all a years salary or whatever. I know they are skinny but it still costs a lot to feed the bastards.

 

And if you are a young artist then you probably won't have a very good record deal, so you could sell a heap and only make a few hundred k, whereas more established artists have a bit more clout and can demand a bit more...

Toby Keith sure is. And a pretty racist and xenophobic one at that based on what I've heard of him.

 

The figure would have to be total income. There's no way Roger Waters would have made that amount of money off royalties from Pink Floyd but he did have a big tour.

Was expecting KISS to be on there with the amount of merchandise they stick their name to...

I was in Nashville on a tour in '97 and I went to the Grand Ole Opry etc and Opryland which is a theme park nearby. It specialises in 3 things - country music, NASCAR and clogging your arteries.

 

I had no frigging idea of any of the country singers, except for Garth Brooks - who happened to be on that night, nor of any of the NASCAR. The Seppos were aghast.

Most people under the age of probably 30 would know who Tiesto is. Trance music pioneer of the late 90s to mid 00s who's now a fkg sellout flog.

I'm amazed 1D are that low, personally.

 

They're on EVERYTHING.

 

EVERY

 

 

THING

 

 

Oh and LULZ that any one on that list is any more or less of a sell-out than the rest.
