BAD BUNNY HOPS TO THE TOP

THE SUPERSTAR’S WORLD’S HOTTEST TOUR GROSS HAS PUT HIM ATOP BILLBOARD’S MONTHLY BOXSCORE REPORT FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 2022

- —ERIC FRANKENBER­G

AFTER MOUNTING THE BIGGEST LATIN TOUR in Billboard Boxscore history earlier this year with $117 million for his El Último Tour del Mundo dates, Bad Bunny is now conquering stadiums with his World’s Hottest Tour. It becomes his second chart-topping trek of the year — and third month leading Top Tours, after doing so in February and March — grossing $91.1 million and selling 404,000 tickets throughout August, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.

Bad Bunny amassed the total despite only playing nine shows, averaging

$10.1 million and 45,000 tickets per date. While other artists near the top also played to massive crowds at U.S. stadiums, their grosses, though still impressive, range from $5 million to $7 million each night.

World’s Hottest Tour, though, went stratosphe­ric, pushing eight figures per show on the back of Un Verano Sin Ti, Bad Bunny’s album that has logged 12 weeks (so far) atop the Billboard 200. Released in May, it arrived after the tour had already sold out, though the added momentum of new music may have boosted resale demand.
