Céline Dion reaches peak of the decade's Utimate Top 10

January 18, 2010

All she had to do was stay in one place instead of touring like other top acts. Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews Band come in close behind in combined album sales and concert revenue for the decade.

 

What's the formula for success in the rapidly shifting music business? Roll the dice, then stay put.

 

That combination put Celine Dion atop the ultimate edition of Calendar's annual Ultimate Top 10 list, a ranking that combines artists' album sales revenue with their take at the box office.

 

Dion earned the title of Ultimate Top 10 champ for the decade that recently ended, thanks in large part to the money she piled up from her five-year engagement at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where audiences are used to paying big bucks for big stars.

 

Her gamble to perform in one place for an extended period paid off big for the Canadian pop diva.

 

The Ultimate Top 10 isn't meant to be the final word on artists' finances. With merchandising, product endorsements, song placements in movies and TV shows, ring tones, website subscriptions and myriad other income sources, musicians today have seemingly limitless ways to bring in money. But by combining two of the biggest revenue sources, the Ultimate Top 10 is a good indicator of which artists fans are spending the most money on.

 

The overall decade results suggest there's still considerable long-term value in allowing artists time to build extensive catalogs and encouraging them to support those recordings by touring regularly.

 

The Ultimate Top 10 of the Decade:

 

1. Celine Dion, $747.9 million. Dion pulled in $522.2 million in concert-ticket sales for the decade. Adding $225.7 million worth of album sales during those same 10 years, she trumped all comers.

DO NOT STEAL MY SIGNATURE

"It's hard in a recording studio, because I'm infront of a microphone, I have to imagine all of you and then I'm able to sing the songs for you...Now I'm still infront of a microphone, with all of you right infront of me, to see all of your faces, That's why I still do it!" (wild applause) thankyou for the flowers - Celine after a flower moment 9-22-08

"I looked in the audience. There were no strangers. Everybody was singing and cheering and hugging. That was a beautiful picture to look at."

"I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business."

"I don't listen to my own music at home."

"On her baby: He's 16 months old and he eats soap and paper. What's going on with kids?"

"On her son again: I smell his feet; they have a scent that's a bit like vinegar."

"As long as my fans enjoy my music and I'm happy in myself, my life and my music, that's all the truly concerns me."

"I am the youngest of 14 children, so I rarely got a chance to speak. If I have an opportunity for talking, I talk."

"So far so good. We take it a day at a time."

Great news!! But I wonder where they get the $522.2 million in concert-ticket sales in the last 10 years.

I thought she grossed over $400 million in Vegas and over 200 during the TC tour...? :shrug:
