London
(ANI):
Peter
Andre's
wallet
is
about
to
get
fatter
as
the
star
will
take
home
nearly
5million
pounds
in
2010,
thanks
to
his
successful
comeback.
Industry
sources
have
predicted
a
great
year
for
the
Aussie
crooner
after
he
delivered
a
top
five
album,
a
hit
sell-out
tour
and
bagged
a
series
of
lucrative
endorsement
deals.
"Our
forecasts
show
Pete
will
earn
between
4million
pounds
and
5million
pounds
next
year," the
Daily
Star
quoted
his
agent
Claire
Powell,
as
saying.
Andre's
record
Revelation
has
already
gone
platinum,
with
sales
of
over
300,000.
"We
are
all
absolutely
delighted,"
Graham
Stokes,
owner
of
Conehead
Records,
who
entered
into
a
1million
pound
deal
with
Andre
earlier
in
the
year,
said.
He
added:
"There
is
no
reason
his
musical
career
cannot
go
from
strength
to
strength.
He
is
a
highly-regarded
recording
artist
and
will
continue
to
shift
sales
over
the
next
12
months."
HMV
spokesman
Gennaro
Castaldo
said:
"His
star
appears
very
much
in
the
ascendancy
again
while
sales
of
Katie
Price
merchandise
would
appear
to
be
down."
According
to
Gary
Howard
of
Marshall
Arts,
concert
promoters,
Andre
will
cash
1.4million
pounds
from
ticket
sales
alone
in
2010.
"To
start
with
we
put
on
29
shows
but
they
flew
out
of
the
window.
In
the
end
we
put
on
37
shows
and
we
have
filled
them
all
except
one,"
he
said.
Howard
added:
"We
could
have
filled
100.
In
total
we
have
shifted
70,000
tickets
at
24-pound
a
pop,
not
to
mention
all
the
merchandise
sales.
I
had
three
of
the
UK's
top
promoters
working
on
the
sales
alone.
Peter
now
holds
the
record
for
the
fastest-selling
show
at
the
Indigo
club
at
London's
O2
Arena.
"We
filled
that
in
a
day
so
we
put
on
another
show
at
the
Hammersmith
Apollo,
selling
another
3,500
tickets.
That's
6,000
tickets
in
London,
not
to
mention
the
other
sales
around
the
country."
Meanwhile,
The
Perfume
Shop's
Nicky
Bates
revealed
that
Andre's
perfume
has
been
the
top-selling
ladies' scent
of
this
year.
She
said:
"We
are
excited
to
be
working
with
Peter
on
the
No.1
new
ladies'-fragrance
for
2009." His
agent
Claire
said:
"What
has
happened
to
Pete
over
the
last
eight
months
has
been
traumatic
but
the
business
side
of
things
has
been
amazing."
She
added:
"People
see
him
as
a
genuine
guy,
that
is
why
sales
of
his
records
and
endorsements
have
increased
tenfold.
Only
last
week
Pete
signed
a
deal
to
work
with
Coca-Cola."
