Posted June 11, 200718 yr PINK BREAKS MINOGUE RECORD DOWN UNDER U.S. singer PINK has shattered Australian KYLIE MINOGUE's home record as the female artist to sell the most concert tickets in an arena tour Down Under.

June 12, 200718 yr Doing the maths based on punters forking out an average of $90 each to see the chart-topping US pop/rock chick, that adds up to more than $27 million in the concert tour kitty. And you can throw in a few more mega-bucks from merchandise sales. :o
