During the Spring and Summer of 2007, Taylor Hicks embarked on his first ever 100+ city nationwide tour that spanned 8 months (February-Sept 2007). According to sources, his tour grossed roughly $3,819,000. He was the only headlining act from the American Idol Season 5 lineup and THE most successful one on tour from that year. Don't forget that. Not bad for someone who didn't have the luxury or push of a hit single on the radio. Simply, he put people in their seats because of his extraordinary live performances.
This stat doesn't even include the merchandising (CDs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and teddy bears) sales, so yea, he's doing quite well I suspect! Next time he's in your town (hopefully sometime later this year), don't hesitate to go see him. It's a guaranteed great time!
