Christina Aguilera Is Top Paid ‘Voice’ Judge

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 17th, 2011

Christina Aguilera is the top paid judge of ‘The Voice,’ reports CTV.

The singer reportedly earns $225,000 per episode, compared to the $75,000 that Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton make.

That means that NBC is spending $450,000 on the judges alone, not including production or advertising costs. A little crazy, if you ask me!

The show has been a big success, though, pulling in over 10 million viewers per episode. I’m sure they are making the money back somewhere.

The winner of the show will get a $100,000 recording contact.

This proves my theory that being a reality singing show judge is the best thing you can do for your career. I mean, nobody remembers Aguilera flubbing the national anthem or getting a DUI – they all see her as a rich, successful TV judge now. Smart move.

Carrie Underwood Surpasses Kelly Clarkson As Top ‘American Idol’ Earner

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 20th, 2011

Carrie Underwood has officially become ‘American Idol’s’ top earner, surpassing season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson.

As of May 16, Underwood’s album sales topped 12,296,000 and she’s moved more than 18,482,000 digital tracks since winning season 4.

Clarkson is close, though, selling 10,600,000 albums and 15,900,000 digital tracks since 2002.

Underwood has also spent a healthy chunk of the last two years on the road, racking up more money from touring. While Clarkson’s international presence is stronger than Underwood’s, who plays mostly to U.S. and Canadian audiences, she’s devoted less time touring and more time working on her as yet unreleased fifth album.

To compare the two, Clarkson’s tour revenues since her win is around $32,000,000, while Underwood has pulled in twice that amount since 2006, around $66,000,000.

As for the rest of the idols, we have rocker Chris Daughtry in third place with 6,104,000 album sales, while Clay Aiken comes in at fourth with 4,990,000 and Fantasia at fifth with 2,809,000.

Clarkson and Underwood are definitely my favourite ‘Idol’ winners, so I’m glad they’re on top. Underwood is lucky she has the country music scene on her side – that genre generates so much money, it’s ridiculous.

Top Three In Box Office Don’t Want Budge!

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 8th, 2008

The box office is seeing a bit of Déjà vu with this weekend’s estimates. As it turns out, the top three movies for the weekend are the exact same as last week’s!

“The Four Christmases” comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn is still ranked number one for the second weekend in a row adding another $18 million to their culminating gross.

In second, up from third place last weekend is the first film of the “Twilight” saga, attracting another $13 million dollars worth of viewers which makes for a total $139 million in revenue to date.

And finally, in third place, swapping positions with the vampires this week is Disney’s new animation, “Bolt”, that made $9.7 million.

Can they hold their titles for a hattrick?
