If there’s any doubt that Rihanna and Beyonce are two black women who are running the music game right now, the latest news from Pollstar should probably humble the naysayers.
The publication just released its annual Top 20 Grossing Concert Tours list, and Beyonce and Rihanna were the only two black women to make the cut.
Beyonce came in at number 2. The singer just started her Mrs. Carter World tour last April, but she has already pulled in $188.6 million. This means Beyonce had the best-selling tour in 2013 for a female artist.
Rihanna came in at number 6, and her Diamonds World Tour brought in $141.9 million.
Bon Jovi topped the list with $259.5 million.
Congrats to Rihanna and Beyonce for being the only two black women to make the list.
Awesome!
Bey and Rih are killing the game. I freaking love it.
I’m happy for both of them. They are doing some major things that black artists aren’t supposed to be doing in this current music industry. That’s something to be proud of.
Congrats to them both.
The haters weep…lmbo!
Anyone else notice that Beyonce’s new album has already caught up to Adele’s? Someone on here predicted that this would be her 21 and it sure is. I’m so happy for this chick. Love Rihanna too!
Wow Bey is already up there with Adele?! That’s crazy!
Wow. That’s impressive. I said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m not a stan and haven’t bought an album in years. But this one was actually very good and worth every penny. I hope she takes more risks and keeps making this kind of music.
QUEENS!!!!
It’s kind of crazy how both of them are winning at the same time. I’m proud of that.
I am not surprised. Say what you want about these two, but they have some very loyal fans and we always come through. As long as they keep their fans happy, they will continue to be successful. I’m soooo happy for Bey though. So many people were trying to count her out and say she was done. Not so fast.
Look at my fave slay. Navy baby!
Congrats to the both of them.
The Queen has spoken! Bow down!
what both these women have in common ? they always doing something they’re always hustling. they always have some thing line up . rihanna finish her tour she went straight to hollywood to do voice over for an animated movie. finish the movie and start recording next album. beyonce touring, drop album and will start touring again.while others all seems to be more interested to being socialite.
