Although the star’s earnings took a slight dip to a reported $50 million, he still remained the highest selling act in country by amassing a reported $1.6 million, per concert! 2011-2012 Yet another impressive year of touring and recording for the artist, Chesney secured another $44 million from mid 2011 to mid 2012. 2013 On the tail of his 7th studio album, entitled “Life on a Rock,” this massively successful project solidified him as a serious contender as he earned the ranking of 2nd country artist with the most number 1 hits (behind none other than Garth Brooks), and according to Billboard, secured nearly $33 million in the process. 2014 The artist continued to reach new heights. Once again, one of the highest grossing artists of the year, all of the touring and performing seems to continue to pay off for the artist.
