Artists under contract are normally only allowed to record for that label exclusively; guest appearances on other artists' records will carry a notice "By courtesy of (the name of the label)", and that label in question may receive a percentage of sales through publishing.

List Of Highest-grossing Concert Tours
The following is a list of concert tours that have generated the most gross income. The data and rankings come largely from reports made by trade publications ''Billboard'' and ''Pollstar''.

Tina Turner became the first female act to achieve the feat, with her Wildest Dreams Tour (1996–1997).
