One Direction continues to roll in the dough (I’m picturing Simon jumping into a swimming pool of ca$h like Scrooge McDuck). Another $15M from 3 concert – Kaching! Still, Beyonce and Jay Z raked in some pretty impressive numbers – perhaps One D won’t be the biggest touring act of 2014. Never mind, they just made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the first act to debut at number 1 with their first three albums. What kid doesn’t dream of getting in that book?
In other news, Queen+Adam Lambert and The Voice (Oz version) both report from the Perth Arena. This amazing venue has a very elastic size. Q+AL racked in an impressive $2M and The Voice can be proud of its numbers given the general suckitude of reality singing competition show tours this summer.
