Prince: Top Moneymaker of 2009?

He did it in 2004 with the Musicology tour.
He's actually selling Lotusflow3r instead of giving it away like Musicology.
Can he do it again in 2009 or perhaps 2010 if he tours?
Miley Cyrus is the only real contender I see for the title.

He'd better start a huge tour right away if he wants to do that!

Uhhhh you are either are not aware or have forgotten that a little band from Dublin,Ireland is kicking off a major world tour this year. They're selling out stadiums in minutes.....

Of course Michael just cancelled his return shows until 2010. But had already sold $100 mil

Springsteen has been on the road since the 1st of the year and has dates throughout '09

Coldplay is world touring supporting Viva La Vida.

I love his Royal Badness but

I dont think it's going to happen for '09.

Oh please! When the tallies from the sale of Eminem's new cd are calculated come Tuesday...that will dispel all notions of what you're hoping for! The lines for his new cd were utterly ridiculous! shrug

Of course, I'm a Liberal! I'm an American, damn it!

This country was founded on the premise of Liberty and Justice for ALL...remember?

wtf was madonna doing in 04??

RIP 1958-2009 broken Michael Jackson

The PS3 is cheaper and thinner, but still won't play anything that made it famous. It's like if Prince was a game console.

World Touring


The Re-Invention World Tour was the sixth world concert tour by American singer-songwriter Madonna, visiting North America and Europe. It included dates in 20 cities, selling out 55 of 56 shows and attracting more than 900,000 fans. In the fall of 2004, Billboard Magazine awarded Madonna Backstage Pass Award in recognition of having the top grossing tour of the year, with ticket sales of nearly $125 million. [1]

What tour? I don't expect Prince to tour again. Do shows, yeah, but not a tour.

There has LONG been a rumor of a box set, but I don't think we'll see it. The GH is volume 3, and will cover all material not covered on GHV2, or Immaculate Collection. I wish they'd just do the box set. SO many goodies in that. It was supposed to happen before, but we got Remixed and Revisited instead.

She's doing the 2nd leg of her Sticky and Sweet Tour.

Um, he didn't give Musicology away. He "sold" it in the ticket price. Every ticket sold counted for a CD sold, which is why a dreck filled album made it to #3. Let's not forget that 3121 was a #1 album withOUT that trick.
