Thu Dec 29 2011 by Idolator Staff
Did you make it out to see any of your favorite music acts perform live this year? If so, you weren't the only one — entertainers raked in millions of dollars via touring, and we'd know, because we were at some of these shows! Although Bono & co. have not released an album since early 2009, U2 easily trumped the competition, raking in $231.9 million worldwide during 34 concerts, according to Pollstar. But Taylor Swift was not far behind, as her cameo-filled Speak Now tour garnered the #2 slot in North America and #4 globally. Who else made the cut? Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Kanye West & Jay-Z, and Rihanna, to name a few. See the rankings below.

Bono And The Edge Cameo In ‘Spider-Man’ Musical Music Video “Rise Above”
Thu Jul 28 2011 by Becky Bain
A music video set to the Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark song "Rise Above" surfaced online today, and beside the fact that the sleepy clip lacks any truly exciting footage (Backstage rehearsals! Skyscrapers! Shadows! Zzzz!), isn't this all a little too late? The show has already been torn apart, and any heat this song could have gotten as a single would have already happened when the fellas performed it back in May during the American Idol finale. Plus, we've already moved onto Andrew Garfield's Spidey. Still, hey — a Broadway show released a music video! Take that, Book of Mormon.
