Top 10 Pollstar 2022 Worldwide Tours (Midyear)

  1. Bad Bunny – $120.1 million
  2. Genesis – $72 million
  3. Elton John – $70 million
  4. BTS – $69.3 million
  5. Morgan Wallen – $58.3 million
  6. Eric Church – $56.3 million
  7. The Eagles – $55 million
  8. John Mayer – $51.8 million
  9. Coldplay – $44.7 million
  10. Garth Brooks – $44.3 million
Elton John comes in in North American tours at number two behind the incomparable Bad Bunny. The Eagles and Genesis also make the top ten in North America, as do BTS, Morgan Wallen, Garth Brooks, Eric Church, and John Mayer.

For the most part, this brings up that artists are making most of their money by touring/live shows now. Before Napster (and other stealing software) they would get a large percentage from album sales. Now people don't buy albums as much and have services like Spotify and Amazon Music. I have Amazon Music an love it. I believe the artists get pennies on the dollar compared to album sales of the past.

From that list, a few were popular before Napster: 2, 3, 7.

Never heard of Bad Bunny (I'm 50 though). I picture Millennials and younger running around in bunny suits. This thought is disturbing.

BTS - boy band = I'd rather gouge my eardrums out than listen to this garbage.

Some Country artists - Country seems to be a popular genre now. I listen to it sometimes, often if my wife is in the car. I feel like today it's less 'country' and more soft rock. One of the few genres that seems to have good radio support which I'm sure helps sales.

I'm not a huge fan of Elton John. My sister offered me a concert ticket a few years back and I turned it down because it was a Sunday night. Wish I had gone now.

Also didn't know Genesis was still active. Wouldn't mind seeing them sometime.

I like, and have been "into", almost every musical genre in existence at one time or another. From Ozzy Osbourne, to Hank Williams Jr, to BB King, to Billie Holiday, to Bob Marley.

Rap/hip hop, and the most extreme fringe elements of heavy metal are just about the only things I can't appreciate.

But as for go-to, at this stage of my life, it's smooth jazz/Latin jazz. Here's a piece from a guy you never would have expected. Yep, he's "that" Slash.

What ya tryin to say, 50 is old? 😂😂😂 Im almost there but I know Bad Bunny and let me tell you, that shit is BAD. As in not good. Well, okay, truthfully the music I can tolerate but the way he ununciates his words is annoying. For that reason I call it the mumble flow of Latino music. Pisses me off.....ya, Im getting old lol

I mentioned to my wife that I'm middle aged now. She said I was middle aged when I was 40, not 50. So that made me feel old. Or if I'm telling a story about something that happened '20 years ago', she'll mention it's more like 30+ years ago. Then I realize she's right.

I was thinking of pulling up Bad Bunny on Amazon Music. Sounds like I shouldn't bother now.
