Last winter I decided to go check out some Calvin Harris sets online, because I heard a couple people mention how great of a dj he was. I found several sets from over the summer and into the fall, and they were all pretty much the exact same track listing and order. This draws the conclusion that he is not really djing at all. It is funny how people seem to just ignore these facts when I bring them up.

I don't get it....according to the article, the annual earnings estimates include income from live shows, endorsements, merchandise sales, recorded music sales, external business ventures...

I would think Armin would be higher on the list

Lets be real here, how accurate it is?

AMG is giving Tiesto a LOT more that Calvin, but I do think that Calvin tours more than him so maybe that's why he makes more but a 14mil gap??. But who knows...all I know for sure is that he's gone a long way. Calvin isn't the same guy that used to stay in Farley's guest room in downtown San Diego...
