FolkLover1989 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Taylor really did so well on touring from the get go Honestly great 1
Heartbreak Prince Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Taylor about to move all of them down a slot.
FolkLover1989 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Wait just checked Taylor did Gillette Stadium with her first tour itself and over 50k+ capacity Demn 1
Kern Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Sticky is still the highest grossing tour of all time?
Aslan Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 The way Adele’s is higher because her team never released the gross for her stadium leg
EnterTheAttic Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Legend P!nk with 3 entries and about to have another 1!!
KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Lady Gaga being top 10 (for now) with her debut arena tour is crazy. The Fame was such a massive moment 1
Feanor Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Beyoncé, Madonna, P!nk and Taylor will all join the list with their most recent tours. The touring industry is booming right now, so hopefully plenty of new tours by old and new female artists will enter the chart in the coming years. 1

I wish she did one more weekend there though
jesus del rey Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Are the old tours' gross number adjusted to today's inflation? I think that'd be more fair for older tours like Sticky and Sweet
byzantium Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 If the eras tour reported its gross, I’m pretty sure it already is #1.

Alongoria13 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Sticky and Sweet being no.1 for 15 years is absolutely incredible. Such a fitting record for Madonna. The market has changed and others will take her place and that's okay.
halcyonday Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 You should adjust the numbers. Prismatic is at 250M.

Chartman Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 How many tickets will Beyonce and Taylor Swift approx. sell for their recent tours?
Taylena Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Reputation Tour could already be on the top if Taylor had bothered to actually do a world tour like she is now.
Ms. Togekiss Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 People pay UP to see Madonna her new arena tour will probably be super high too. I wanted tickets but they were too expensive
Jjang Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 interesting facts about Sticky & Sweet: - it happened during the 2008 financial crisis. - it has the highest average gross per date out of any tour in the 2000s. - it grossed almost $600m adjusted for inflation. - it broke Madonna’s own record for highest grossing solo tour of all time (previously held by Confessions tour) and she has been holding this record since 2006 which obviously Taylor will break with her current tour. - it happened 26 years into Madonna’s career and she was 50. Just overall such a triumphant era for her. ‘Hard Candy’ and ‘Celebration’ albums were doing their things too. And the fact that it wasn’t even “technically” her touring peak since that was late 80s/early 90s for her. 3
