Adele Triples Drake’s
Sales, followed by Beyoncé, Maroon 5 and Kanye West, With Country
Acts Showing the Strongest Representation; October’s ‘Desert Trip’
Joins Coachella as Top Festival of the Year
StubHub, the world’s largest ticket marketplace, today announced
the top concerts of the fall season, as determined by sales from
its more than 10 million ticket listings per month. Following her
top-selling summer position, Adele continues her dominant year by
outselling Drake at #2 and Beyoncé at #3 this fall, putting her on
pace to outsell pop diva Taylor Swift’s 2015 fall tour schedule and
become the top-selling artist of 2016.* In addition, the Desert
Trip, a two-weekend festival featuring rock legends, such as The
Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, proves that legacy
artists remain a powerful draw, outselling the next-highest fall
festival (Austin City Limits) by more than 5 times (530%) and
becoming the #2 overall festival for 2016 behind Coachella.
