Gross is good for press etc but what matters in business is profit.
Bob Dylan/Guns N Roses £150m claim https://chartmasters.org/best-selling-artists-albums-and-singles-of-all-time/#comment-50515
You stated Queen "doesn't sell Box Sets at all", they may not be hugely successful Box Sets but they do release them and they do sell.
I guess you understand that was calculation error, i didn't mean it was the amount due to Dylan, you thinking so? I'm finnish and i speak Finnish and Swedish here. English is not needed here. You are looking for mistakes and been satisfied when you find some.
Look at Discogs for the sales of Queen box sets (collected) and compare it to the Beatles, Dylan, Stones, Floyd, Bowie and chart positions and compare it to the Beatles...
Platinum Collections is not real box sets, the price is less than 20 euros.
The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Bowie fanbase is more mature and they often have the money to spend on luxury. The Queen fanbase is in South America and in poorer places and they use streams.
You said "Artist gets publishing royalties for the songs, which are calculated based on the income of the concert. Eg. Guns’n Roses has performed Dylan’s Knockin on heaven’s door 878 times. Average audience size say 35000 persons, ticket price 100 Euros. 3,5 million euros per concert. 878 x 3,5 m Euros= approx 3 billion Euros. 1 song from concert is 1/20 part = 150 million Euros. Much more than streamings"
That isn't a calculation error, it's not understanding how royalties from live performances are calculated.
I'm not looking for mistakes, I'm pointing out that some stuff you say, is just not true or correct, like "Turnover is what matters in business".
Queens fanbase is obviously not just in South America, they are one of the most successful acts in Europe, if not the most, with around 100m albums sold there. They have also sold more physical product than any of those you mention except The Beatles.
You must be a bit childish. Like a small child in the grip of some mistake. I'm not bullshi...r.
