Nikkei Entertainment Releases Its Concert Mobilization Power Ranking for 2016

Every year, Nikkei Entertainment magazine releases a series of rankings which arrange celebrities in various fields according to familiarity and interest. Later in the year, the magazine also releases a ranking based on concert attendance in Japan, ranking acts based on the overall amount of people whom attended their performances over the course of the year. This ranking is based on seating capacity for venues, not necessarily tickets sold.

Nikkei Entertainment made the decision to include fanmeet events in the totals this year, breaking with tradition.

That being said, Big Bang topped the ranking this year with 1,859,000 attendees at 60 concerts. They were followed by Arashi with 939,000 attendees at 32 concerts. Third place went to Kanjani8 with 875,000 attendees at 35 concerts.
