Pollstar has long been the industry standard for presenting boxoffice accuracy in the world of live entertainment, and while we have moved away from using estimated totals, we aim to properly represent any artist who is impacting the current state of touring in a major way – even when boxoffice data is unreported. Thus, we have used estimates for a handful of artists (*) so that their accomplishments will be chronicled appropriately.

The annual POLLSTAR ranking of the concert industry’s top performing artists is tabulated for all Worldwide shows worked between 11/22/18 and 5/22/19. All ticket sales figures are calculated in U.S. dollars and are based on reported information and extensive research by POLLSTAR.™ Copyright 2019.
