Her pre-YouTube hits have great views. "Sometimes" has more views than much bigger hits from 1999, like "Genie In A Bottle", "If You Had My Love" "Bills, Bills, Bills", etc.

Both "Sometimes" and "(You drive me) Crazy" have more views than "Genie in a bottle"

Glory sold 136,000 in 2016, so that leaves out 114,000 catalog sales. That's actually pretty good. In 2011, she sold 883,000 albums with 736,000 coming from Femme Fatale and around 20,000 from B In The Mix 2, which leaves out 127,000 catalog sales. Her catalog sales are on par with 2011 despite album sales and her popularity on the charts dropping massively since then.

It's worth noting it's US only - doesn't include money from her projects outside of the US.

Yep, Britney's summer Tour won't be counted there .... But still those were last year's highest paid solo female acts in America.

this sales are from May 2016 to april 2017 so catalog sales should be 85,000-90,000 actually

But hasn't Glory only sold 145,000 to date (<10,000 this year)? Wouldn't that mean 117,000?

"...Baby One More Time" has reached 100 million plays on Spotify. Her third solo song (fourth overall) to reach this milestone!

Britney is the first artist in Spotify history to have three different songs from three different decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s) reach 100 million plays. Best part is that they're all solo songs.

^ Legends only!

[GetBack]

I love that her profile really increased this year!

Is she the first artist to achieve this?

Anyway, this page reaches 100 pages. 100 pages of achievements of a legend's career of 20 years.

What did Beyonce do to earn so much money just from the USA?

And Britney is No. 8 among females with several dates of PoM, flopped album Glory? She is still making a lot of money

[chenrus]

Pollstar pubilised its 'middle year top 100 worldwide tours' of 2017, and britney ranks no. 34 with 25m.

However, the charts says it includes 39 shows with 30 shows from vegas (1 citiy ) and 9 shows from asia tour (7 cities), vegas this year grossed 17.42m, the first nine dates of asia tour only grossed 7.6m with 52,000 audience?????? Are they kidding us???

OR ITS FAKE?

[Instinct]

There's no way in hell she only grossed $7.6 million from two Tokyo shows, Osaka, Seoul, Taipei, Manila, two Bangkok shows and Hong Kong. That's literally $844,000 per show, almost on par with her Vegas shows. Someone needs to email Pollstar.

Her two shows in Bangkok made over $4 million. Are we supposed to believe she only grossed $3 million everywhere else? I'll wait for Billboard.

[Wayne]

She just may not have made as much as what you think.

Average ticket price i $145.04 - so high priced tickets with low attendance?

Seriously though - did we ever get boxscores for any shows so far?

[LiamPayne]

Britney played in Singapore on June 30 which is a part of first half of 2017. That should be 9 cities / 40 shows.

Anyway, even though Singapore is missed out, their total atendees seem way off. They said she brought in 168304 people but she brought 116057 people to Vegas show alone. There is no way that only 52247 people went to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philipines, Bangkok and Hong Kong. We know Manila date brought in 22k and bangkok dates brought in 20K. There is no way that 3 sold out Japan dates, 1 sold out Hong Kong date, and 2 sold well shows in South Korea and Taipei brought in less than 20k people. That was a huge mistake they made. Their estimation (?) was off which brings her average ticket price per ahow down.

How do we know that she brought in all of those people?

If you are talking about Britney Live In concert, it was not a secret about those sold out dates

Original Bangkok date was sold out hours after put on sale which made her team add another date with the same amount of tickets. Each date had 10,500 tickets. I bought ticket and went to one of the dates. That is how I know.

Manila show originally put 20k ticlets on sale but they were sold sold and her team had to add more tickets 2 times.

Each Japan date was sold out and each date had no less than than 10K people.

Hong Kong show sold out in less than 1 hour.

Taiwan didnt sell out for some weird reasons. I dont understand.

South Korea didnt sell out too due to it was a very busy night for concert goers. Both Taiwan and South Korea didnt sell out but both shows were way far from being flop.

[LiamPayne]

Britney Live In Concert was estimated to gather nearly 200k peope (198k). Excluding 55k from Israel and 7500 from Singapore, we still have over 100K people.

and not to mention that her tickets were expenaive as ****. while cheapest tickets cost $49 in Vegas, her cheapest tickets in Asia were $115 (Bangkok date) and $188 (in Singapore).

#30 - 17.4 million - Britney Spears

Average Ticket Price: 148.54
Average Tickets: 3,910
Total Tickets: 117,290
Average Gross: 580,733
Cities/Shows: 1/30

1,233 tickets more from Vegas according to Pollstar than Billboard reported.

Which leaves $7.6 million and 51,014 tickets sold from 9 Asian shows.

[Instinct]

She just may not have made as much as what you think.

I'd understand if this was Billboard, but Pollstar has made a lot of mistakes in recent times, so it's not like these are official numbers or anything. They're just estimates and the ticket prices will tell you they're wrong.

Ticket prices for her sold out show in Manila (in USD):

SVIP: $561
VIP: $457
Patron: $311
Lower A: $249
Lower B: $207
Upper Box: $114
Gen Admission: $52

= $278 average ticket price x 10,000 tickets sold (using the lowest figure) = $2,780,000. Obviously it's probably less than this, but this should give us an idea and I doubt this show grossed less than $2 million.

Ticket prices for her two sold out shows in Bangkok (in USD):

$355 / $236 / $192 / $133 / $103 = $203 average ticket price. The Bangkok site (ThaiTicketMajor) told us exactly how many tickets were available/put for sale (10,739), so $203 x 10,739 = $2,180,000. They added a second show because the first show sold out within 45 minutes, and the second night ended up selling out as well, so that's $4,360,000 from both shows.

Ticket prices for her sold out shows in Tokyo (in USD): $213 / $124 / $97 = $144 average ticket price x 13,000 = $1,872,000 ($3,744,000 from both shows)

Ticket prices for her sold out show in Osaka (in USD): $213 / $124 / $97 = $144 average ticket price x 16,000 = $2,304,000

Ticket prices for her sold out show in Hong Kong (in USD): $267 / $203 / $165 / $126 / $75 = $167 average ticket price x 16,000 = $2,672,000

So not counting Seoul or Taipei (which pulled $1-2 million gross each), you get $15,860,000 from 7 shows while they estimated $7,400,000 from 9 shows. I know it must be less than this, but you get an idea of how much they underestimated her.

[LiamPayne]

Instinct, why are you usingg 10k figure for Manila date? I know it was your lowest estimated figure but why dont you use anythif between 15k - 20k? We know that date sold no less than 20k tickets.
