'Piece of Me' is still slaying everyone, with 92% of tickets sold on the most recent leg of Britney's Vegas show.
By Aaron Butterfield:
There's a lot of buzz about Vegas shows just recently. Jennifer Lopez has been sniffing around the strip, performing the suspiciously titled "The Best Is Yet To Come" at http://www.thecolosseum.com/news/detail/12288/superstar-jennifer-lopez-to-give-incredible-live-performance-the-best-; Mariah Carey is said to be http://www.breatheheavy.com/5-reasons-why-mariah-carey-should-absolutely-perform-in-las-vegas/ too. There's talk of who'd be better suited, and why this http://www.breatheheavy.com/lets-just-assume-jlo-and-mariah-carey-both-have-vegas-residencies/ move for either of the divas but let's be real - the fact that they're considering it at all is thanks to Miss American Dream herself. In the last year, Britney blazed a trail for young, working artists to perform on Vegas stages and it turns out she's still making some serious cash with her residency.
See just how much dough she raked in on the last leg of 2014:
Britney's four shows at the end of December (the 27th, 28th, 30th and 31st) raked in http://www.billboard.com/biz/current-boxscore of $2,799,641 and selling 16,895 of a possible 18,221 tickets, she ended the month 92% sold out. It's interesting to note too that Britney pulled in a whopping $700,000 per performance, in comparison J Lo managed a stellar, but much less impressive, $410,000.
Having already performed 57 shows in the year beforehand, these kind of figures are no mean feat. After the first two legs of the show sold out, critics were quick to claim that her sales represented the novelty of her act and that they'd soon dip. Well here we are, 12 months later, the novelty's worn off, and the Queen of hair-flips and watermelon bubblegum is still coming out on top.
The show picks up again this month, and it seems like she may be http://britneyspears.breatheheavy.com/britney-dropped-by-the-dance-studio-again/ (I mean at this point she could be rehearsing for another Twister ad for all I know, but it's nice to dream) so we'll be waiting to see how well a revamped (?) 'Piece of Me' sells into the new year.
But if I know Britney (which I suppose I don't but, again, don't kill my dreams) I would imagine her sales reign will carry on well into 2015, especially with a new single promised this side of the summer and an album sure to follow. ('Britney Jean' who?)
And if some new girls show up on the block, we'll be waiting to see who's the last one standing. But I know where my money is.
Who are YOU betting on?

Less than 7 weeks to go!
This really puts the sales 'dip' in perspective - glad to see Godney's still slaying and I reckon the new album will be good promo .
To be fair to her, she's probably making more money than ever at the moment.
I so wish I could go to see a show, but it's unrealistic.
I won't be able to go unless she extends into 2016 (fingers crossed).
And Aly I believe you are right. Minus the Britney era. She was ranked the most powerful woman in the world 2001-2002. And she raked in over 11 million on the pepsi adverts alone.
I can't really justify the expenditure!
I really hope I manage to somehow go in 2016. It's probably the least feasible thing ever for me personally but there's no harm in trying.
She premiered a new outfit on the latest leg for the MATM and Blackout section!
She looks fantastic!
The show looked so bad judging from BHs videos
4 weeks to go!!
THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
The show must go on!
During the opening number of her Piece Of Me show on Wednesday, Britney told the audience to "bare with her" because she's "a little bit under the weather."
Some fans think it's unprofessional for Brit Brit to tell ticket purchasers that, but some fans also live in mommy and daddy's basement. It's rare Britney goes off script, even if it's just a quick blurb about how she's feeling, so if the Queen wants to tell you she's ill, Godammit you pray you catch it!
Be lucky she didn't cancel altogether.
Her cancelling the show would be the end of my life tbh.
2 weeks today til I see Brit! Cannot tell you how excited I am!!
5 days!!
So happy I could die.
Have a great time Rob! (I'm sure you will though!) Very jealous and don't forget to report back when you're back!
Aaaaaahhhhh! What day do you leave? Where are you staying, etc?
Arrive Sunday afternoon, staying at the Signature MGM Grand, seeing Brit on Wednesday, then leave on Friday 6th!
How f***ing exciting!!!! Who are you going with? Any other shows you gonna see?
Well I'm here! Absolutely shattered after a long arse flight but loving it already! Seen so many billboards with Brit on! Roll on Wednesday!!
TAKE PICTURES
How the hell do I upload pictures from phone onto here!!? #feelingold
Use the photobucket app!
I really want to see this... I'm going to Vegas in April but IDK if there are any scheduled shows then
OMG OMG best night ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tell us moree
She introduced 'Perfume' as being on her PREVIOUS album!!!!!
You seemed really close! Looks brilliant!
Toxic performance.

Her hair flipping seems on point LOL but her arms move are still not confident.
OMFG! Those pictures are amazing.
Please keep your hair like this Britneyyyy.
I have loads more and loads of vids too!!
Post them all!

Sure, it's slaying Vegas, just as a car crash slays and draws everyone's attention on the road.
Wish I could get 39 000 000 for miming and zombie stamping across a stage!!
She should just do this I think - 39 000 000 pre tax per year! She doesn't have to be forced into makin music and just goin through the motions with a cd again. The record company would be happy, she'd be (more or less) happy, and she could try to salvage her legacy by slooowly working on a kick-ass final retirement album like ITZ.
Beaverflopen
Your opinion would hold relevance of you liked 'Blackout' AT LEAST. Bye.
A couple of shots of Brit spotting her biggest UK fan in the crowd.
I love it when we see the artist look directly at cameras on tours and things!
Rob... SHE KNOWS YOU EXIST!
YES!
On the Circus Tour I was front row and when everyone got quiet for 'Everytime' I screamed "I LOVE YOUUUU", and she looked at me and said "I love you!".
Died multiple times only to revive myself and die again.

Kill me
I am so desperate to go again.
We should have a Buzzjack meet up in Vegas, tbh.
We should drag along Beaverhousen. He really loves Pink and he loooooves every BRITNEY album besides 'ITZ'.
slay
Yaaaaasssssss! That black outfit is so much better than the nude one.
Brit twists ankle at Vegas show.

she really boss on stage, such PRO! im glad that is not anything serious in the end!
she have apologized
Aww. At least she continued that show! <3
</3 that looked so painful!
Aww, I love how she said "sorry for hurting my foot guys", she is so so likeable!
I hope the Billboard Awards performance won't be cancelled!
She cancelled tonight's show too.
YESSSSS!

How does she do it?!?!
Pretty Girls breakdown >>> https://instagram.com/p/6CIYRMrmwI/
Also, https://instagram.com/p/6CK1nBLmyW/.
YES BRITNEY! <3 That 'Pretty Girls' breakdown
Also the second video is too cute! "You have a hot ass aswell!" <3
love PG <3
Omg! You have a hot ass as well! Dying!
She was definitely feeling herself Friday night. https://instagram.com/p/6JQLHPRYax/.
Well her PG breakdown seems to be catching people's attention.
I saw it on CNN for the entertainment wrap up. "BRITNEY, BETTER THAN EVER".
Like it would be so easy for her to still be huge on the charts in America if she were to perform like this at awards shows for promo.
Let's hope the Superbowl rumours are true. If she keeps her performance up like that, and has a killer hit single ready...
Work domination era part 6
"BEYONCÉ WHO?!??!" DECEASED!!!!!

OMG FEEL YOURSELF!!!!!!
😭😭😭😭
HA BODY, HA FACE, HA MOVES, DA ATTITUDE... Is she taking female viagra pills?
There was a blind item not so long ago, it stated that their relationship was strictly business and that he was gay.
Liveney???
https://instagram.com/p/6tsWEsgiQl/
Did Brit actually know he was gay though? Like if it's business, what did she get out of it?
I wouldn't know tbh... It's all a big rumour, though. Nothing is (or will ever be) confirmed.
Man I really do love Do Somethin'. Such a f***ing epic song.
The only time a beard is required is when the young actor/singer is a hot teen. Charlie isn't someone who needs a beard. He's not even famous?
OMG
She's so cute.
Epic britishney slays so hard <3
Omg, omg...me and my boo are planning to go to Vegas for our anniversary and see Britney :woot:
wooo, lucky uuu
Does anybody here understands the seating chart...I wanna make sure I get as close as I can to the stage.
I just checked tickets and I got option for standing row 0 and seatings 11-12...is that good or bad?
Saying that the only people who have/need beards are young actors or singers is totally off the mark though.
It's true though?
Taylor Swift is rumoured to be the Queen of the Beard.
I got my tickets for October 21st show
She's killing it with the ponytail. https://instagram.com/p/7Pgu3SnRfw/?taken-by=philipal
Slightly off-topic but does anyone have that 1080p copy of the Onyx Hotel Tour; it was like 9GB in size.
Welcome back Primeney, we've missed you!!!
This is currently me at work tbh.
SLAY ME BABY ONE MORE TIME!
Has anyome seen the video with her gay friend? He does an impersonation of her and its quite funny?
This adorable laugh https://instagram.com/p/7PqxV7RNJY/.
Britney confirmed a couple of hours ago that 'Piece Of Me' will be extended for another TWO years!
nooo
Hey. She seems ridiculously happy there, so if she's happy with that. I am too.
I'm happy for HER, just not happy for ME lol. I want a new album
I do like what Vegas is doing for her confidence and dancing skills.
It's probably a business savvy decision.
Good for her! This gives me time to save up too!
Finally saw her after 4x of going to Vegas without seeing her - although I think she was only actually playing once when I went down.
The show was amazing - I went on the Labour Day Weekend but it was PACKED in there. Pretty much a sold out show.
I was amazed by her set - probably one of the best sets I've seen.
She was on point with her dancing, although my only criticism would have been that she should have re-recorded some of her vocals to sing a long to. I wouldn't expect her to sing live, I mean, come on it's Britney.. but a lot of the tracks just had the existing album vocals.. most of the instrumentals were re-worked, but I could have just brought my iPod and listened to that and watched the entire show.
If you were in charge to revamp the show's setlist for the new year, how would it look like?
Here's how I'd change it (note that there aren't major changes since it's a hits show, and her biggest hits are already there. Also, I'll try to be a bit realistic):
SECTION 1: No.1's
1. Hold It Against Me
2. Womanizer
3. 3
4. ...Baby One More Time/Oops!... I Did It Again
SECTION 2: Ballads
5. Everytime
6. Born To Make You Happy/Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know
7. Perfume
8. Lucky
SECTION 3: The Blackout
9. Me Against The Music
10. Gimme More/Break The Ice
11. Piece Of Me
SECTION 4: Neon Section
12. Scream & Shout/Boys
13. Pretty Girls
14. Ooh La La
SECTION 5: Freakshow
15. I'm A Slave 4 U
16. Get Naked (I Got A Plan)/Freakshow
17. Early Mornin'
18. Perfect Lover
SECTION 6: Circus section
19. Circus
20. I Wanna Go
SECTION 7: Jungle
21. Toxic
22. My Prerogative/Outrageous
23. Stronger/(You Drive Me) Crazy
24. Till The World Ends
ENCORE:
25. Work Bitch
New Freakshow outfit
d a m n
CCKDOPHJ KB{RK{W<$QIV_ B^
If she wore pants it'd literally be Slave.
I'm annoyed at the changes
The Vegas performance of Lucky is so good! I can see why their adding ILR&R as everyone will sing along

What is this Missy Elliott mix?!
Is she still on in August? I'm going to Vegas and I don't want to have to settle for J-Lo.
so yeah she killed last night
Shame about Lucky getting dumped though
It truly was a highlight for me out of all the other videos I've seen.
I wish she'd do Overprotected live again, but I guess judging by this video its probably too complicated for her nowadays
I'm speechless.
That Breathe on Me performance has left me needing a cold shower!
This is like stepping in a time machine
I really love that Missy tribute. Simple but perfectly executed and in line with the style of music.
Avril Lavigne & Chloe Moretz were at the show last night
Britney Spears
Huge confession... biggest @backstreetboys fan! Tonight was truly a dream for me. #Vegas #PieceOfMe
HAhahahaha
THE SHADE
I GOT TICKETS.
See you on Septmeber 2nd, Brit.
Britney’s Piece Of Me is the highest grossing show at a single location in the game right now. Brit recently kicked off a revamped, reimagined, remixed version of Piece Of Me in Las Vegas, and her changes paid off.
Billboard updated their current Boxscore numbers for her Feb. 13-14, 17, 19-20, 24, and 26-27 dates, which resulted in $4,007,691 gross sales and the No. 1 spot on their chart. On those days, Piece Of Me filled 28,540 of the total 34,488 seats available over the eight dates.
We’d also like to tip our hat to Jennifer Lopez, whose new show All I Have claims the No. 2 spot with $3,697,602 gross sales for her Feb. 3, 5, 6, and 9 show dates. All four performances were sold out, filling the 17,658 seats available over the course of the four dates.
But before you begin comparing the two pop divas, please note Britney’s first 16 Piece Of Me show dates sold out when her show first launched as well. Sorry haters! Britney is here to stay. #ExceptionalEarner. Read more at: http://go.breatheheavy.com/jmydi
Wish I was going again!!
Even though I'm flying to Vegas today!!
It's so far away from when I'm seeing her. I have pretty much the best seats that aren't platinum/VIP/Standing though I think so I'm so excited.
The setlist is pretty much perfect right now, I just hope she doesn't get rid of any of my favs by the time September rolls round.
I'd currently replace I Love Rock and Roll, Pretty Girls and Freakshow with Lucky, I Wanna Go and Hold It Against Me though.
I love the Freakshow performance; the choreography for the first chorus is great and she's extending her arms now compared to the first leg so it looks cleaner.
I am needing for her to add Get Naked, that'd make me happy. I know it's not gonna happen but one can dream.
