Jay-Z Makes Highest Grossing Tour List

Back in April, we reported Jay’s second leg of his BP3 tour brought in over nine million in sales. Pollstar has just released their mid-year report for 2010 and Jay comes in at number 12 with $22.5 million in overall sales. Don’t forget, Jay joins Em with four shows at Comerica Park and Yankee Stadium in September.

    jay-z is surprisingly a great entertainer and has a great stage presence, i saw him here in seattle at the key arena back in october with nerd and wale. wale and nerd sucked but hov was amazing, his sound was the best i have ever heard from a hip hop artist. I haven’t seen too many but i dont think anyone is F’n with Hov. sidebar:Nelly sucks Live

  10. Where's Wallace At? says:

    Nickleback grossed more than Jay? Ugggghhhhhhhhhh

  11. rocstar says:

    thats not even including all those festivals he’s been doing.
    festival money > arena concert money

  12. rocstar says:

    and if u look at the revenue per show, he’s in top 10

  13. Jay - Z says:

    I’m Still Not Touching Lil ‘ Wayne Tho…….

  14. Ben says:

    Its the R-O-C !! Bon Jovi stay gettin’ money.

  15. Young Hov says:

    Roc Nation

  16. flawda says:

    Lil Wayne had to do way more shows to make what Jay made, not to mention it was the Young Money tour, so he had to split that money.

  17. Donn says:

    Yes, Black Eyed Peas doing it big, i love them, and thats wat it is. JayZ and Black Eyed Peas holdin’ down for hiphop :). I haven’t made Taylor Swift’s concert but she’s a great performer as well, and John Mayer is the best. PERIOD

  18. GettinMoneyBothWays says:

    Yep, only rapper on that bitch! Hate on em if u want and talk about you’re “eminem” and “Nas” but them niggas aint doin that shit!

  19. Donn says:

    Black Eyed Peas are up there too, their HipHop, contrary to wat u guys may think about them, their album genre reads HipHop/Pop/Electro, and i love the Black Eyed Peas

  20. So Icy Boi! says:

    Lil Wayne tour last year made more money than Gay-Z

  21. Baker says:

    For people saying em aint doin those numbers are stupid because they know that he would be if he went on tour but hes smart and knows that if he goes on tour that he’ll fall back into drugs and nobody wants that

    @ ewdfdewf

    MAJORITY OF ROCK BANDS HAVE HUGE FANBASES!!!! JUST CUZ U DON’T HEAR ‘EM ON THE RADIO MUCH OR DON’T HEAR A HIT SONG DOESN’T MEAN THEY DONT HAVE A HUGE FANBASE!!!! DESPITE WUT U THINK, NICKELBACK GOT HITS AND ARE VERY POPULAR!!!! ANYWAY, LOOK AT BON JOVI!!! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE REALLY HAD A HUGE “HIT”??? AND HE’S THE #1 TOURING ARTIST THIS YEAR!!!! SAME THING GOES FOR PAUL McCARTNEY!!!! IT’S JUST THAT ROCK BANDS HAVE LOYAL FANS UNLIKE HIP-HOP ARTISTS!!!! REMEMBER, IT’S ROCK NOT RAP!!!! DO YA RESEARCH DUMMY!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  32. freeeeed says:

    shit only reason i would have went to the BP3 tour would have been to see young jeezy, h.o.v. is boring. and besides fuck paying almost 100 dollars for a concert ticket. also funny how this a post about -gay-z and all yall cant keep 50 cent name out your mouths

  33. NickeyBlack leaves comment says:

    @Freeed…. so u ratha hear Jeezy over Jayz? What songs are bumping from Jeezy recently? Jeezy is not the lyrical monsta like Jayz and they both real dudes but Jay is “gay” and “boring?”

    I couldnt stand in a crowd listening to Jeezy’s raspy voice for more then 5minutes, whereas Jay is clear as the songs he produces.

    50 still making bread his way, he may not be making hits but he making cash.

    BTW Jayz is doing for hip hop what Bon and Paul are doing for Rock, the only ironic thing is Blacks invented Rock and we lost all control and culture of the artform, You gotta appreciate Jay, he made an album last september and still touring with the BP3 logo, i guess he really laid anutha Blueprint.

    comment exhausted.

    @ mmkayy

    Bee’s tour ended in February.

    FYI- Bee made like 27 million in Brazil off of just 5 shows

  37. HA! says:

    Cosign @ blaqscorpio

    B’s tour in North America ended in 2009 so her numbers would not be on this chart. Her South America and Caribbean dates in 2010 were sold out. She raked in some serious $$. I have to say after seeing fottage from those shows she is really on another level in this industry –undeniably incredible and the best to do it from our generation.

    Good for Jay as well.
