Travis Scott debuts at No. 1 on LIVE75 following the conclusion of his “Circus Maximus Tour,” which concluded October 30 in Auckland, New Zealand after a year-long worldwide run. During the final Oceania leg of the tour, he sold 278,662 tickets across six performances in four stadiums, averaging 46,443 tickets per show to take the top spot. His earnings from Australia and New Zealand were $32.2 million, averaging $5.37 million per concert, which is also the highest average of any touring artist on the chart.

On October 17th and 18th he opened the final leg of the tour of Oceania in Sydney to a sold-out stadium with a total of 78,572 spectators. There were 41,814 fans in attendance on the second night and the Oct. 18 show set a new all-time attendance record for a headlining concert at the stadium, a statement from the venue said. The same gig also featured a surprise appearance by The Weekend, who was in the country on his own tour. The following week he played two shows at the stadium.

Scott traveled to Melbourne for his second two-show appearance, performing to a crowd of 111,247 at Marvel Stadium on October 22-23, grossing $12.6 million from both sold-out performances. He then performed a concert at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on October 26, grossing $6.1 million in front of 47,723 spectators, before traveling to New Zealand for the final. The final concert of the tour took place at Eden Park in Auckland and welcomed a crowd of 41,120, grossing $3.1 million.

During its entire run, the “Circus Maximus Tour” achieved gross receipts of over $200 million with 1.65 million tickets sold at 76 concerts. The shows were booked in arenas as well as stadiums and other outdoor concert venues in North and South America, Europe and Oceania.

Scott also lands at Global Live Boxoffice, where ten of his concert performances are among the top-grossing events of the week. His $12.6 million win from Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium is the second-highest win total on the chart, with only David Gilmour ranking higher. The Pink Floyd alum takes the top spot with a gross of $17 million from five sold-out performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Then comes Scott’s Sydney event at Allianz Stadium at No. 3 with a gross of $10.5 million.

The Artist Power Index also has a new top performer: Bruno Mars moves up four positions to No. 1. It’s his third time in 2024 that he’s achieved the highest ranking, after being ranked all the way in the Jan. 22 edition landed at the top of the list again in the October 14th issue. This week, its ranking is based on the top results in the streaming and social categories, which contribute to chart placement, as well as the fifth-best airplay rank. He also has the 10th highest live score based on the final five stadium performances of his “Bruno Mars: Live in Brazil” tour, which ran from October 4th to November 5th.

He started the tour of Brazilian cities in São Paulo, playing six nights until October 13th at the Estádio MorumBIS and then appearing at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro on the 16th, 19th and 20th. This was followed by two concerts in Brasília at the BRB Mané Garrincha Arena from October 26th to 27th and two more at the Estádio Couto Pereira in Curitiba from October 31st to November 31st. 1, before a final in Belo Horizonte at the Estádio Mineirão.

Only one other tour headliner has a top 10 debut at LIVE75, as the Eagles enter at No. 5 based on ticket sales at the band’s four November concerts at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The total number of tickets sold for the shows reached 65,531, averaging 16,382 per night. Revenue from the four shows totaled $18.5 million, averaging $4.6 million per concert. This makes the group the only headliner to gross an average of $4 million. Scott’s $5.4 million average is the only one to top $5 million, while two artists, Billie Eilish and P!NK, follow with gross averages of more than $3 million per show.

CMA Album of the Year winner Cody Johnson earns “Noisemaker” status on LIVE75 as the chart’s biggest-rising touring artist, jumping from No. 7 in the previous edition to No. 2 this week. The country star earned his ranking based on an average of 20,446 seats sold per show across an amphitheater, stadium and arena.

He sold 31,341 tickets over two nights at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion near Houston, followed by a concert at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, attended by 39,539 fans. He then sold 10,906 tickets at Penn State University’s Bryce Jordan Center.
