The Police Pulverize Touring Competition

NME just released Pollstar’s annual top tour grossing figures, and the Police walloped the competition with their vicious three-piece nightstick of song. The trio collected over one hundred thirty million hard earned dollars, while Kenny Chesney, their closest rival, finished with seventy-one million.

Justin Timberlake, Celine Dion, and Van Halen rounded out the top five. I’m amazed Eddie and his brothers can still pack huge theaters, but than again, the entire group still being alive is a giant middle finger to DEA fatality statistics. Here’s a rundown of the entire Top 10...

1. The Police ($131.9m)
2. Kenny Chesney ($71.1m)
3. Justin Timberlake ($70.6m)
4. Celine Dion ($65.3m)
5. Van Halen ($56.7m)
6. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill ($52.3m)
7. Rod Stewart ($49.0m)
8. Genesis ($47.6m)
9. Josh Groban ($43.0m)
10. Rascal Flatts ($41.5m)
