Sorry, I should have posted the link:
The interesting bit are the details for each artists.
The tour income is not "gross profits". It's the artists share after costs (as calculated by Billboard).

Giles don't talk like an ignorant fool. 2 black singers Beyonce and MJ is 10%
of the list and a decent entry for people of colour so shut up!

The one name on this list that had me going WTF is André Rieu, anyone else share the same surprise
The numbers are gross revenue so shouldn't be confused with profit. According to various reports the production costs of U2's tour were so high it made a cash loss in 2009. This will change in 2010 as they are still touring to turn things around.

Wot ? No P Diddy, Black Eye Peas, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg etc? Guess the "new" black singers aint as popular as they thinks they is.
