Say what you will about Madonna and her MDNA concert tour—specifically the aging icon’s reportedly outrageous sterilization-team demands and her tasteless use of machine-gun choreography and swastikas, the reliably controversial singer managed to top all other concert acts in 2012 by grossing, on average, an estimated $3,465,640 per city in North America. This means that on average, Madonna’s concert tour grossed more than those helmed by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band ($1,362,627 per city), Justin Bieber ($1,177,615), and Bob Dylan ($467,504) combined. (Casual analysis of the Pollstar report suggests that Madonna’s gamble to price her tickets at a wallet-busting $160 on average—more than twice Justin Bieber’s ticket price—paid off.) Elsewhere, Billboard calculates that in total, the MDNA tour grossed just over $300 million, making it one of the top-grossing tours of all time.

In the meantime, it is still too soon to know whether the Grammy winner’s recent decision to scold smokers in her audience will curb sales for future concert tours.
