Niall Horan pays himself €2.2m on back of sell out The Show tour
One of Ireland's most successful entertainers, singer-songwriter Niall Horan, last year paid himself €2.2m on the back on a sell out worldwide tour. New accounts filed by the Mullingar man's Jaredon Ltd show that pay at the firm increased by 20% from €1.85m to €2.23m in the 12 months to the end of March 2025. Horan enjoyed the €2.2m pay bonanza after a gruelling tour schedule in 2024 which commenced on February 20, 2024 in Belfast and concluded on October 9 last in Bogota, Colombia. One of the tour venues included New York City's Madison Square Garden where the concert was filmed. Underling how lucrative The Show tour was for the 31 year old, figures from trade industry journal Pollstar show that Horan generated €2.65m at the box office from three shows at the 3Arena in Dublin in 2024. Box office receipts are shared between artist, venue, promoter and ticket seller. Horan - who has amassed 39.3 million followers on X and Instagram and best known for songs like Slow Hands and Nice to Meet Ya - is a regular on Irish Rich List surveys after a career that was launched after securing a place on One Direction in 2010 from his appearance on UK TV show X Factor. In the year under review, Horan's Slow Hands and This Town each passed 1 billion streams on Spotify. Jaredon employs three people including fellow directors and accountants to the stars, Alan McEvoy and Barry Downes from the Limerick-based Livewire Business Management, which specialises in representing well known figures in the music, entertainment and sports industries. Pay to the three totalled €2.32m and included directors' emoluments in respect of qualifying services last year totalling €30,000. Cash funds at the company declined from €1.85m to €106,944. Arising from the €2.32m staff costs, the company recorded a modest loss of €39,863 last year. Accumulated profits at the end of March this year totalled €93,000. Away from the music studio, Horan has been busy investing in the likes of the expanding athleisure Gym+Coffee brand. Horan is also the founder of Modest! Golf Management that counts Ireland's leading female golfer Leona Maguire amongst the growing roster of golfers that it represents. Leona and her sister Lisa Maguire are both on the Modest! Golf Management roster which also includes three time Ryder Cup player, Tyrrell Hatton and young golfing stars including European Tour player Connor Syme, former Walker Cup player Jack Singh Brar, South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout and former Italian number one amateur Guido Migliozzi.

Niall Horan's Debut Single Is A Top 10 Hit Once More
Niall Horan may not be in the middle of an album rollout, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the charts. The former One Direction member hasn't shared a new full-length in nearly a year, but he still manages to stay relevant, engaging his fanbase and keeping his name on the weekly rankings with strategic releases and reissues. Many musicians disappear during downtime, but Horan is keeping his wins going, all without dropping new tunes. This week, Horan's strategy pays off once again, as the musician returns to a pair of charts in the United Kingdom with a track that's nearly a decade old — but somehow, still a hit in 2025. Horan's debut solo single "This Town" makes a somewhat surprising return to the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts in the U.K. The pop ballad, which helped kick off his own career years ago, is back in a huge way. "This Town" reappears on both lists this frame, settling at No. 8 on each of them. That's quite the placement for a tune that was released almost a decade ago. Earlier in 2025, Horan announced a repressing of "This Town" on seven-inch vinyl. Packaged as a double single alongside "Slow Hands," copies of the pair of tunes were restocked on his website. At the same time, he also made his The Show, Live on Tour deluxe vinyl available again after an earlier sellout. Apparently, that simple announcement — and the opportunity to own the single in a physical format once again — was more than enough to drive fans to buy. Thanks to those reissues, the track is experiencing a notable surge on the charts. This isn't the first week in which 'This Town' has performed well on either the Official Vinyl Singles or Physical Singles rankings. The tune has now spent just three weeks on the vinyl-only tally and four on the physical list. The cut has previously reached the top spot on both. Despite the fact that it was originally released nearly 10 years ago, the cut only debuted on these U.K. sales-based charts this February. That late arrival is due in part to its late-in-life vinyl pressing. When it hit, it became Horan's second No. 1 on the vinyl tally and, even more impressively, his first leader on the physical ranking after three earlier tracks peaked at No. 2. "This Town" was released in September 2016 as Horan's first solo single following One Direction's hiatus. It served as the lead track from his debut album Flicker, and quickly became a hit around the world. The emotional ballad reached No. 9 on the U.K. singles chart and climbed to No. 6 in Ireland, where Horan is originally from.
