Madonna Lands Top Tour Figures

Madonna‘s controversial Re-Invention trek has been named the year’s most lucrative tour after taking a staggering $125 million in ticket sales. According to tour statisticians at Billboard Boxscore, Madonna sold out 55 of 56 performances worldwide, with an average nightly take of $2.23 million. And that was by far the biggest live success of the year, despite comments from Elton John that attempted to discredit the pop superstar for lip-syncing parts of her show. Meanwhile, Prince’s Musicology tour drew more fans than any other artist, and grossed $90.2 million. Shania Twain was third with grosses totaling $62.5 million. Source: imdb.com
