I believe Taylor Swift only appeared here recently due to signing a deal with Pepsi (i think it was Pepsi).

 

Some interesting names on there, surprised U2 are top! Just shows how big they are when they have a fairly quiet year and still be the biggest grossing artists.

Just shows how retarded some fowk are when it comes to music.

 

How the hell has Sade made a career oot of one song fae the 80s?

A lot of it is based on endorsments I would imagine.

 

commercial music is utter gash, there is no point even bothering to listen to the charts anymoe.

There isn't anyone in that top 10 that I would pay money to see. In fact I'd not go and see any of them for free.

Roger Waters I definitely would pay to see.

 

Taylor Swift....She would get it, so would happily pay for a private show from her.

No involving music eh take it?

[E-P-K]

Since 2009 when U2 starts the 360 tour, 110 shows later, the tour has grossed $736M...

[tup]

I thought this was going to read:

 

1) Wanking off.

 

2) Picking your nose, and eating the bounty.

 

3) Howkin tattie bogels oot yer lugs.

 

4) Pulling dangleberries and winnets from the hairs in your arse.

 

5) Excavating, then smelling, the stuff that gathers in your belly button.

 

6) Picking dead skin off your feet before making sandwiches for all the family.

 

7) Sniffing your own oxsters for BO.

 

8) Taking all your picked toenails and fingernails and pouring milk on them, like muesli, before scoffing the lot.

 

9) Pishing in the shower.

 

10) Following through after a watery fart.

I know who the ones in bold are but no idea who the rest are

I think number 10 is actually Slade and it's just a typo.

 

I'd pay to see them no problem.

#9 Andre Rieu. uncanny resemblance of MT in 15+ years.

After 15 chin reduction operations maybe.

[OddJob]

Andre Rieu is an excellent musician and puts on a superb show

[OddJob]

What's wrong with that like? Not every musician has to strut around the stage like Mick Jagger do they?

[StandFree1982]

Andre Rieu - No doubting that the boy has got musical talent, but he just looks like such a smug, upper class, looking down his nose at folk cunt.

[amancalledbuck]

Bland, MOR shite.

 

The amount of auld grannies we've had coming in for a bit of Andre is unbelievable.

[Roo]

Just shows how retarded some fowk are when it comes to music.

 

How the hell has Sade made a career oot of one song fae the 80s?

 

Isn't Sade absolute MASSIVE in the States still though

 

And (I could be making this up) but haven't there been a couple of recent high profile samplings of her work? That's always good for the back catalogue

seen bon jovi twice, u2 once, take that once (u2 and TT were freebees like)

 

surprised they are only 2nd like coz theyve not long finished a world tour that took 2 years to do.

 

having just googled it, turns out bon jovi were last years top earners because of that tour.

[Lang Bar]

Aye but her love was King, nae just ony common cxnt!

[RUL]
