(ANI):
Canadian
pop
diva
Celine
Dion
has
emerged
as
America's
top
performer
after
beating
the
Dave
Matthews
Band
and
country
singer
Kenny
Chesney.
Compilers
Pollstar
said
that
Dion's
climb
to
the
top
of
America's
Ultimate
Top
10
list
was
due
to
the
combined
sales
of
her
album
as
well
as
her
concert
ticket
sales
which
includes
her
five-year,
sold-out
Caesars
Palace
stint,
A
New
Day.
Dion's
consistent
success
from
2000
to
the
end
of
2009
have
put
her
at
the
top
of
the
new
decade
countdown,
reports
the
Daily
Express.
According
to
Pollstar,
Dion
earned
326.4
million
pounds
in
concert
ticket
sales
during
the
decade
and
added
141
million
pounds
in
album
sales,
taking
her
10-year
tally
to
467.4
million
pounds
-
3.1
million
pounds
more
than
second-placed
Chesney.
Dave
Matthews
Band
finished
third
on
the
list,
while
The
Beatles
came
in
fourth
and
U2
rounded
out
the
top
five.

were
