I'd also love to know the cumulative total for all ancillary products, starting with the 2010 Exile Deluxe in 2010. (I would include the 2009 T.A.M.I. DVD, but there's a lot of artists on that one).

And guess what? U2 continues to look up to the Stones to make Concerts more exciting. They are doing multi Nights in the same City. Like the Stones did on 40 Licks and 50 and Counting. They also have a Center Stage that the Stones have used since Babylon 1997. Bono just loves to follow and copy the BEST!

I am guessing you've never seen them live.

Actually I did see U2 on their Boy Tour (1st album) April 1981 @ Sam's in downtown Minneapolis. Sam's is now called 1st Avenue (where Prince filmed "Purple Rain"). They played about an hour and performed 3 songs twice. Because they ran out of material. A decent Show for a new band. I'm guessing before your time? Never had the desire to see U2 again.
I'm thinking of kick-starting a crowd funding project to help fund their retirement.Quote

Gross is impressive...However after all tour expenses, quite a different figure.

I think you can go back to 2009 and the GYYYO 40th anniversary deluxe release as the time this new gravy train started.
It's been a good run since then!

Unfortunately, we will lose to U2 again. Remember ABB grossed over 550 million, but sadly, the "Claw" destroyed our gross with over 780 million...U2, a horrible group by any objective standards, seems to resonate with the clueless masses out there today...

U2 would be filling up 80k seats in stadiums. I just don't get
their appeal. They are not in any way rock and toll.

Buying a ticket to see U2? Me not. They don't swing (poop drummer) and Lousy guitarist that Edge. Boring...zzzzzz. Could not even play a proper Gimme Shelter RIFF at MSG when MICK JAGGER joined a few years back. They had to put on an overdub guitar on the official release.><

100% correct.
I reckon Larry Mullen is the most overrated drummer in rock history!Quote

I can't believe that other artists use him for sessions.
A drum machine would have more feel!

When you truly sell every ticket available and that many people want to see you and you don't overplay certain market areas and even play songs from your new album... it's easy to see how U2 blew the Stones' record out of the water.
Just think - they're on tour again playing new songs from their new album.
Imagine that.
