The biggest money making acts since '97

Boy bands draw grown-up paydays

The heady pinnacle of the teen-pop explosion five years ago casts a long shadow in the pop world. 'N Sync, though long gone from the charts and arena stages, still holds the record for combined concert and album sales revenue since Calendar began compiling the list in 1997.

 

'N Sync racked up a whopping $212.9 million in 2000 and finished in the Ultimate Top 10 for four consecutive years, taking No. 1 honors twice. So it's no surprise that the youth-pop sensation has generated the most money on that list over its nine-year existence: $529.6 million.

 

At No. 2: Backstreet Boys, with $520.5 million. Neither the group's 2005 reunion tour nor its album ("Never Gone") made a big impression on year-end rankings, but they added enough to the group's 1998-2001 take to push it ahead of Céline Dion for runner-up honors. Dion's $517.3 million makes her the only other act to crack $500 million.

 

The rest of the Ultimate Top 10 finishers through the years: Dave Matthews Band ($408.5 million), U2 ($376.4 million), the Rolling Stones ($375.4 million), Britney Spears ($346.7 million), Eminem ($333.2 million), the Dixie Chicks ($283.6 million) and Shania Twain ($282.8 million).

Not as rich as u2 or the rolling stones. They both own the rights to their songs. They get huge royalties from having written them so most of the money made by them, they get. Rolling stones probably being the far richer of the two though....

And yet people still say "oh Celine's gone, dead- never to be heard of again- her albums all flop now..." and yet all these lists and polls show Celine to be at the top in the world.

 

She still is the best.

We might kiss when we are alone... When nobody's watching... We might take it home... We might make out... When nobody's there... It's not that we're scared... It's just that it's delicate... We might live like never before... When there's nothing to give... Well how can we ask for more... We might make love in some sacred place... The look on your face is delicate

It's a consolation. I'm glad we have some similiarities.
