Bad Bunny Dominates Monthly Touring Report, Achieving Record-Extending 10th Victory

Bad Bunny concluded his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour on July 22 in Brussels, marking a significant milestone in his career. As he awaits the final figures from his recent performances, he celebrates another achievement: Bad Bunny has reclaimed the No. 1 position on Billboard’s monthly Top Tours chart for the second time this year, third during this tour, and a record-extending tenth time since the chart’s inception in 2019.

Impressive Earnings and Attendance

According to data from Billboard Boxscore, Bad Bunny grossed $123.1 million and sold 773,000 tickets across 14 shows in June. This figure narrowly misses his previous record of $123.7 million set in September 2022 during the World’s Hottest Tour. With this accomplishment, Bad Bunny becomes the second artist to surpass $100 million in two separate calendar months, joining Beyoncé, who has achieved this feat six times.

Despite falling short of his personal best by less than 0.5%, he achieved a new career high for monthly attendance, surpassing 501,000 attendees from September 2022 by 55%. The disparity between his gross earnings and attendance can largely be attributed to geography; his record revenue from 2022 was bolstered by 11 shows in the United States, where ticket prices are generally higher.

International Tour Dynamics

In June 2026, Bad Bunny’s tour exclusively took him abroad, performing eight nights in Madrid, along with two shows each in Dusseldorf, Arnhem, and London. While ticket prices in these locations are more modest, the larger stadium capacities allowed for significant attendance figures.

Bad Bunny’s choice to exclude the United States from his 2025-26 world tour has been a topic of discussion. The results illustrate that his domestic grosses from the 2022 tour remain his career benchmark for a single month. However, his international appeal has mitigated the impact of reduced U.S. purchasing power, with the total gross for the tour reaching $429.7 million by July 5—already exceeding his previous largest tour by over $100 million, with six shows yet to report.

Record-Breaking Tour

This tour not only stands as Bad Bunny’s largest but also as the highest-grossing and best-selling tour in Boxscore history that did not include any performances in the U.S. His 31-show residency in San Juan last year is categorized separately from the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, which commenced in November. This tour has propelled his total career earnings beyond $1 billion, making him the first Latin artist to achieve this milestone.

Bad Bunny has previously topped the Top Tours chart in December and January while performing in Latin America. He also made history with three consecutive wins on the Most Wanted Tour in 2024. In 2022, he held the No. 1 position for two months during the El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo and another two months during the World’s Hottest Tour.

With ten months at No. 1, Bad Bunny extends his record for the most monthly victories among all artists since the chart’s launch in February 2019. Beyoncé, Coldplay, and Elton John follow closely, each with seven months at the top.

Top Boxscores Rankings

Bad Bunny secured four entries on the Top Boxscores, including the top position for his performances at Madrid’s Riyadh Air Metropolitano. His run there included ten shows, with eight occurring in June. These shows grossed $77.3 million and sold 498,000 tickets, while the entire engagement earned $96.1 million and sold 623,000 tickets. Even when adjusted for monthly figures, it leads its nearest competitor by more than three to one.

The second position on the Top Boxscores is held by BTS, whose two shows at Riyadh Air Metropolitano grossed $25.1 million on June 26-27. This achievement contributed to making the Madrid stadium the month’s largest venue, with total earnings of $102.3 million.

BTS’s runner-up finish follows two months at No. 1 on both Top Boxscores and Top Tours. They currently occupy the sixth position on the latter chart due to a limited run of just four shows. Their other two performances took place in Busan, with the Arirang World Tour grossing $290.9 million and selling 1.6 million tickets to date.

On the Top Tours chart, Bad Bunny is followed by Take That, marking the group’s highest appearance ever and fifth time in the top 10. The British boy band grossed $76.7 million and sold 585,000 tickets over 13 shows in June, previously reaching as high as No. 5 in April 2019.

Take That’s June performances included three shows each at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium and London Stadium, grossing $20.4 million and $21.5 million, respectively. Their entire schedule was confined to the United Kingdom, featuring ten shows in England, two in Scotland, and one in Wales.

Current Touring Landscape

The stadium season is in full swing across Europe and North America, with these events occupying all top 10 spots on the Top Boxscores and 23 of the top 30 positions. The only arena engagements on the chart include three shows by Kenny Chesney and No Doubt, along with Ariana Grande at Kia Forum and Rüfüs Du Sol at Madison Square Garden.
