From Ellen T – Mr. Pop… My class is throwing a 20th reunion and in my research was – wondering – what were the top touring acts for 1990?

Mr. Pop History – In order:
New Kids on the Block, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Grateful Dead, Janet Jackson, Aerosmith, Hammer (as in M.C.), Motley Crue, Phil Collins and Eric Clapton.

New Kids on the Block did $74.1 million in concert business that year.

This was way before Hip-Hop and Rap were any major money players. Boy – has the world changed since 1990.
