Prince wins Billboard award for London O2 stint

from billboard.com:


The Police Win Big At Billboard Touring Awards
November 15, 2007, 9:00 PM ET

The Police reunion tour was the big winner at the fourth annual Billboard Touring Awards, held at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York.

The global trek by the Police, produced by TNA International, took home awards for top tour and top draw, which recognize the top-grossing tour and the top ticket-selling tour, respectively. Additionally, Kathy Schenker Management, management company for the Police tour, was named top manager.

The Billboard Touring Awards honor the industry's top artists, venues and professionals for the year, based on the Billboard Boxscore chart. They are determined by actual box office performance from Jan. 1, 2007, to Sept. 30, 2007. The awards reception wrapped the 2007 Billboard Touring Conference.

Other artist awards went to the Kenny Chesney Flip Flop Summer tour (with Sugarland, Pat Green, Brooks & Dunn and Sara Evans), which captured top package for the third straight year, and Justin Timberlake, who was named breakthrough artist on the strength of his FutureSex LoveShow tour.

Prince's 21-night, sold-out stand at the O2 in London received the top Boxscore award, and Larry the Cable Guy was named 2007's top comedy tour. In the venue categories, Madison Square Garden in New York was named top arena for the fourth consecutive year. Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo., and the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., took home top amphitheater and top club honors, respectively.

If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

if you dont care, why are you on the site, or reading this thread??

i dont really think most people are petty and single minded enough to let it bother them; why do people keep turning every topic back onto this boring, monotonous crap about 'this shit' that prince is doing?

all i can say is well done prince, how many other artists could achieve such a thing so late into their careers.
Wouldn't you love to love me?

WHEN WILL ALL THE NEGATIVE OR FORMER PRINCE FANS STOP WRITING ON THIS SITE.
HOW CAN WE MAKE IT A POSITIVE PRINCE SITE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OF PRINCE'S INTELLECTUAL WAY OF THINKING (OR BEHAVIOR)

HE IS WHAT HE IS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIM? FIND ANOTHER ARTIST

i have to say i think he still would be able 2 sell out 21 nights in london even if it was after this 'shit' cos 2 be honest i doubt many people wouldn't go 2 one of his concerts if they got the chance 2 cos no matter how much of a pain he is being his music/shows are still gonna be amazing and also the thing going on now is only affecting a small number of his fans

How does Prince's trying to secure his financial rights offend you personally?

I guarantee that if Prince tried to sell out arenas right now, he would do it without a problem. This nonsense going on right now would have zero effect.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
