BILLBOARD’S ANNUAL LIST OF MUSIC’S TOP 50 EARNERS

Sting is featured on 15 since he “grossed $52 million on his 2004 world tour, and he kept ticket prices at a relatively low fifty dollars on average. He funnels the cash through his production company, Steerpike, which pays him around $34 million a year”.
The additional comments regarding Sting’s current cd sales is less positive: “CD Sting’s catalog sales -even for Police classics- are surprisingly low.”
