Wow @ this Hannah Montana girl! I've never even heard a song.

Its funny how you dont see any of the top "selling" artists nowadays even close to bringing in people to concerts, whats going to happen when Jovi and others cant tour anymore? I mean is there hope for the new generation in the LIVE world?

Good point. As i recal the Micahel Jackson's and the Madonna's of thier time always had the top selling tours. It's been clear that isn't the case in 00's. Timberlake is without question the biggest act out right now, and he's only 5th in the rankings behind 3 legends and the unstopable fource that is Hanna Montona.
