  • 84 points HermionesBook

    Pleasantly surprised to see Kylie on this list. I’m so glad I finally got to see her in concert this year. Such a fun show

    Also saw Gaga twice and it was such a good show

    I saw Kylie too. Couldn't stomach ticket prices for Gaga.

    the Gaga prices were ridiculous but it's easily one of the best concerts i've been to. i went with my best friend and we made a mini trip out of it so it was worth it in the end lol

    Same! No idea when she’ll do another tour that big and especially tour in America. There was no way I was going to miss it

    Saw her in SF and LA. Never thought I’d see her live in the US again and to do it twice!

    Thiis description for Justin Timberlake: "-Tour: The Forget Tomorrow World Tour -Where: North America & Dublin"

    Barely a world tour if it's just NA and ONE European city, is it?

    He already said it was going to ruin the world tour.

    the majority of the tour took place in 2024, those dates are the 2025 ones being reported (which also aren't all there for some reason, he also had non-festival concerts this year in Mexico, Lithuania, Estonia, Norway, Poland, Austria, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey)

    This list is pop. Maybe there's another one for Latin?

    Shakira is pop, wdym?

    parent root

    She mostly sings in Spanish, which has her competing with a different set of artists for a different audience in different regions than Madonna. Some overlap but only because they're both big enough to be globally known.

    So popular music is exclusively English now?

    When the language shifts…. the genre doesn’t. “Latin” is not a genre 😒

    Shakira is one of the biggest pop stars in the world and is on a massive stadium tour.

    The genre may not change, but the audience does.

    Latin is a separate category at the Grammys, so clearly not everyone agrees with you.

    Lol the Grammy’s dont think “Latin” is a genre. There is no “Latin” category. 

    The awards that have Latin in the name also include the genre. For example, they have a  “Latin pop album” category where the genre is not for debate, it goes in the “latin” category specifically if the majority of lyrics are in Spanish.

    My point was that the Grammys have separate categories for pop and Latin pop, etc., so Latin music is in a separate category.

    Super excited to see Ed on top! He always puts on a great show. Great showing by Sabrina. I was surprised to see how well Backstreet Boys did! I almost flew to Vegas to see them.

    I still cant believe the demand of BSB in the US. Although im not totally surprised, theyre fun to watch, saw them on the DNA tour! The Sphere is the perfect venue esp with the Millenium concept of them being in outer space. I miss male artists or western groups that has interesting concepts! There's so many cool things you can do with the effects.

    Another that im surprised with is Justin Timberlake, with how much he grossed in ticket sales. From what I seen he really used the moving stages often.

    With this list mostly are from the 00s-early 2010s which are great to see the longevity of the artist! And i also grew up listening to these artists.

    i know how insanely expensive the Sabrina Carpenter tour was, unfortunate because it was a very well-put together performance with great planning and execution! but yea i can see how it’s one of the highest grossing pop tours

    Yeah I wanted to see her in Chicago but ticket prices were close to $500 and I unfortunately couldn't justify it after only spending $300 to see Taylor.

    Unpopular take, but I’m so ready for Gen. Z stars to start playing in stadiums soon.

    Somebody’s got to since the Boomers on down won’t be here forever. I sure as fuck do not want the lineage to stop with the Millennials being the last group.

    I'm a 40something who saw Kylie but I agree. The only fresh artists on this list are Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae, maaaybe Dua Lipa.
