Wasn't even the highest grossing RAP tour of the year...that would be Drake's tour
That's because The Throne tour was last year moron, the thread says "To Date" not "This Year". All they did this year was 22 shows in Europe, and they still made way more then half of Drakes total for 63 shows. Let's not also forget the Throne went by themselves, Drake had a lot of help, click your own link:
"Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, J.Cole, Meek Mill, Waka Flocka, 2 Chainz,French Montana (& on his European leg included Tinie Tempah, Rita Ora & Labrinth)"
"The tour placed Drizzy above such huge touring acts as Madonna, The Throne, Prince, Elton John & Paul McCartney
(who all has toured significantly less dates than Drake)."
It's funny how these media outlets try to place Drake among those names knowing damn well he couldn't fuk with any of them show for show.
Highest grossing... who gives a fukk
Highest selling would be a true testament, these tickets were expensive as fukk
That's not true because most times the artists limit themselves. If The Throne wanted to sell out a few more arenas I'm sure they could've, most high level artists don't whore themselves out year round like Lil Wayne. That's why he always makes these high grossing numbers, not because he sells more but because he does waaaaaaay more shows then most.
