Rolling Stones get Guinness satisfaction

THE Rolling Stones may be ageing rockers but their pulling power is undimmed - they topped the charts with the world's most successful music tour in the latest edition of Guinness World Records.

Giving a handy boost to their pension funds, the group's A Bigger Bang Tour took $US437 million ($500.89 million) to give them a new record.

Madonna also made the annual compendium as the most successful female artist - her 60-date Confessions tour grossed almost $US200 million ($229.24 million).

That meant she earned more than $US3 million ($3.44 million) per concert.

Guinness invariably boasts a string of offbeat and bizarre records, and the latest edition which comes out on Friday was no exception with entries for the highest and deepest concerts.

British band Jamiroquai, fronted by lead singer Jay Kay, performed at 10,668m in a specially converted Boeing 737 to an audience of pop competition winners.
