Scorp Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 The STANDARD in front as always And dddd take 200 million off JayZ and give it to his wife since we all know he only grossed that **** from OTR 1and 2 Drake outgrossing Rihanna??! Tina Turner the ORIGINAL STADIUM QUEEN. Sus was slaying 80k stadiums in Loubiton Pumps before half the list were even born. Kanye being such a touring force is incredible. Wow what a list

Reputation6754 Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Beyoncé and Tina was not expecting Chris Brown to be there...
Green Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I was going to ask about Michael Jackson and Janet but this is only since 2000
infrared Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Drake doing more than Rihanna surprises me Kevin Hart is so overrated
FAME. Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Chris in the top 10 still while unable to tour in some major places unlike anyone else a legend

Wow what a list I think that’s more like $370m.
Jjang Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Honestly in my book Tina is #1... Inflation and the surge in the touring industry really benefitted newer artists. Didn't know Drake's tours do so well.
onewillowsilk Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Remember when delusional ATRL folk kept insisting Drake doesn't tour well and can't even sell out arenas (based on absolutely nothing) because they're bitter about how he outdoes their faves easily every single year? It's also important to note than Drake has never played stadiums (which gross exponentially more money than arenas do) and has only gone on 4 (30-50+ date) arena tours and yet he's already that high Drake is the only person in the top 5 who is yet to play stadiums and has been touring for the shortest period of time (2012-2019) and yet he's #3 Edited February 27, 2021 by onewillowsilk

Lovett Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Beyoncé at #1, as she deserves. Third female ever to gross over $1 billion in touring.

How does that make any sense? You people don't know anything about his career and only regurgitate the things you see other people say about him which are mostly untrue. How is he the 3rd highest-grossing black touring artist of the last 21 years with only 4 arena tours to his name if any of his tours struggled? Maybe you should just focus on being a Swiftie and leave Drake's career to the people who actually know enough about it to have discussions about it.

I'm talking about the tour with Migos, a lot of dates weren't even done full capacity, @peterstyles13already gave the receipts 2-3 years ago, I can't remember exactly the details but I remember he wasn't doing that good. Also, it seems like he had 5 (?): Migos tour Future tour Views tour NWTS tour Take Care tour
Richie.Valdez Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Quick question, if there's a top grossing black-only touring list made. Would making a white-only be considered racist?

Also, it seems like he had 5 (?): Migos tour Future tour Views tour NWTS tour Take Care tour This is why you should keep away from talking about him/his career. He has spoken about not wanting to play stadiums because of how messy the sound quality tends to be. Everyone knows that arena shows are a better experience musically for fans. Funny for you to say someone who sold out the O2 arena 8 times, the Madison Square Garden 7 times and the Forum in LA 7 times (all in the same tour) can't play stadiums if they wanted. Like I said, you're a Swiftie. I don't know why you're pressed about Drake. Also, the "Views tour" was the tour he went on with Future. He gave Migos and Future co-headlining credit out of respect but if you attended any of the shows, you'd know who the real headliner was because they performed for 30-40+ minutes before he came on for a 2-hour set every night. Also, Migos and Future have only ever played arenas with Drake. On their own, they can't even sell out 3K capacity venues. He has only gone on 4 arena tours and those 4 tours have grossed almost $400 million. Only someone who is delusional would try to turn that into a negative. I'll say it again. Focus on being a Swiftie. Stay out of Drake's business because it's clear you know nothing about it. Edited February 27, 2021 by onewillowsilk
