Trailing behind her female pop competitors at #46, Lady Gaga is behind Cher (#9), Miley Cyrus (#14), Dolly Parton (#23), Katy Perry (#26), Celine Dion (#28), Demi Lovato (#41), Taylor Swift (#42), and Britney Spears (#44).

The data shows Lady Gaga's average ticket price at $78.24 (clearly doesn't include giveaways or other sad attempts to fill the arenas)...

The leading lady and lucky #46
Wow! So much for the Queen of Pop! Maybe Lady Gaga should have released The Greatest Thing after all, then maybe she could ride off Cher's coattails for a while instead of Tony Bennett's.

Now that Gaga's North American leg of the tour is over, it should be interesting to see how the rest of the tour pans out. Her next stop is Eastern Asia, with two dates in Japan and one in Seoul, followed by Oceania (6 shows),Western Asia (2 shows), and finally Europe (30 shows).

What do you think her final numbers will look like?
