according to Pollstar editor-in-chief Gary Bongiovanni, there were no other notable flops. Even if acts failed to sell out shows, they made up for the shortfall with hefty ticket prices, he said. Barbra Streisand earned the most for the least work. Her two shows each in New York and Los Angeles grossed $27 million, placing her 14th on this year's list. Her top ticket price was $2,5000. Rounding out the top 10, as measured by gross receipts, were Texas country trio the Dixie Chicks at No. 6 with $47.3 million; Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at No. 7 with $45.9 million; reunited folk veterans Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young at No. 8 with $42.1 million; metal heroes Metallica at No. 9 with $42.0 million; and teen star Britney Spears at No. 10 with $40.5 million. Turner wrapped her 95-show, 88-city tour near Los Angeles on Dec. 7. She had announced in June that she would leave the road after 44 years because she did not want to get to the point where her stage antics were no longer dignified.
