Adele, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber,
and Drake earned top
nominations for the 2017 Grammys, so it makes sense that 2016
has already been good to them.
Vivid Seats, a ticket resale marketplace, analyzed its data
to determine the
most in-demand artists of the year, based on the average
ticket price sold on their site.
Adele's fans, especially at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, didn't
hesitate to shell out some serious money to see her tour for
"25." While pop stars and country artists certainly drew crowds,
one musician from "Margaritaville" proved he could still
dominate.
