For the final time this year, Beyoncé sits atop the monthly Boxscore charts with the highest-grossing tour and highest-grossing engagement of July. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Cowboy Carter Tour grossed $102.3 million and sold 392,000 tickets over eight shows during the month.
That’s three in a row for Queen Bey, one of only two acts to string together three consecutive months at No. 1, following Bad Bunny last year (March – May), and repeating herself after doing so on 2023’s Renaissance World Tour (July – Sept.). In total, she’s amassed seven months on top, tying Bad Bunny, Coldplay, and Elton John for the most No. 1’s. Those four artists have collectively ruled for 28 of the list’s 61 editions, dominating almost half of the last six years of Boxscore.

July also marks Beyoncé’s third consecutive month over $100 million. Including three months during 2023’s Renaissance World Tour, her grand total climbs to six. No other artist reported a nine-figure gross multiple times, with Bad Bunny (Sept. 2022), Harry Styles (June 2023), and Kendrick Lamar & SZA (May 2025) each doing it once.
Good things come in three’s: three months at No. 1 on Top Tours, three months earning more than $100 million, and a third straight month at No. 1 on Top Boxscores. In each of the three months that Beyoncé led the charts, she had three entries on the latter list.
Beyoncé rules Top Boxscores with her four-night stint at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium (July 10-11, 13-14). Those shows brought in $55.4 million and sold 206,000 tickets. It barely misses the mark of her tour kick-off at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium ($55.7 million), further outpaced by her stops in New York in May ($70.3 million) and London in June ($61.6 million).
On the opposite end of the top five, she follows with two shows each at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md. (nine miles from Washington, D.C.) and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Those stops grossed $27.4 million and $19.4 million, respectively, each selling more than 90,000 tickets.
All told, Cowboy Carter Tour earned $407.6 million and sold 1.6 million tickets over 32 shows, becoming the highest-grossing country tour in Boxscore history. More, it extended Beyoncé’s reign as the top-grossing R&B artist and Black artist in history, still among the top 10 acts overall. Locally, the tour set more than 40 records for gross, attendance, and sold-out shows.
Not only does Beyoncé repeat at No. 1, The Weeknd logs a second straight month at No. 2. In July, he earned $89.6 million from 604,000 tickets sold, looping from the West coast, up through Canada, and finishing in Philadelphia.
The Weeknd topped out at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. (San Francisco area). Two shows there (July 8-9) grossed $17.1 million and sold 98,400 tickets. Though the two Philly dates posted a smaller gross ($12.8 million), they sold more tickets, surpassing the six-figure mark at 103,000. Four hometown shows at Toronto’s Rogers Centre grossed $24.9 million and sold 156,000 tickets, but two of them fall in August, halving those totals for July’s rankings.
Those three engagements rank at Nos. 7, 15, and 17, respectively on Top Boxscores. The Weeknd’s other July dates line up consecutively at Nos. 22-25, each grossing between $10-10.3 million.
Through The Weeknd’s Aug. 12 show in Nashville, the After Hours til Dawn Tour has brought in $635.5 million and sold 5.1 million tickets since launching in 2022. Blasting past Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour ($579.8 million) and Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic World Tour (3.6 million tickets), it is now the highest-grossing and best-selling R&B tour in history.
While Beyoncé tops the monthly chart with more than $100 million earned, Imagine Dragons earns the honor of playing to the most fans during July. At No. 3 on Top Tours with $86.3 million, the Las Vegas pop-rockers sold 757,000 tickets across 14 dates.
Imagine Dragons’ July routing was the last section of the European leg of the Loom World Tour. As opposed to the arenas and amphitheaters in North America and Asia, the trek escalated to stadiums in Europe, pushing as many as 158,000 tickets over two nights in Paris on July 5-6. Wrapping almost exactly one year after kicking off (July 30, 2024 – July 26, 2025), the entire world tour grossed $239 million and sold 2.2 million tickets.
Two K-pop artists pad the top 10, with Stray Kids at No. 5 as part of their record-breaking Dominate World Tour, and Jin at No. 9. For the latter star, it’s the first monthly Boxscore appearance as a soloist, though he has led both Top Tours and Top Boxscores as a member of BTS. ATEEZ and ENHYPEN follow at Nos. 18 and 30, respectively.
After four straight months at No. 1, Sphere dips to No. 2 on Top Venues (15,001+ capacity). Its New York sister Madison Square Garden ascends to the top, with $26.4 million from a packed month of 16 shows. That count includes double-headers from Gracie Abrams, Matt Rife, Chris Stapleton and Tyler, The Creator.
