Chris Brown Completes Rare Three-Peat Atop Monthly Boxscore Charts

Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX wrapped over a month ago, but is still generating new chart highlights. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, its seven shows in October grossed $46.8 million and sold 286,000 tickets, scoring yet another month at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Tours chart.

When Brown was No. 1 last month, he matched a Boxscore feat only previously achieved by Bad Bunny and Beyonce by linking two consecutive months with a reported gross of $90 million or more. Now, he joins them in another elite club, as the only acts to ever string together three consecutive months at No. 1 on Top Tours.

In fact, Brown immediately follows Beyonce’s three-peat from May-July, capping a six-month stretch of only those two superstars atop the list. The streak ends here, as he had no concerts on the books for November.

Brown’s October routing mostly stuck to the American Southeast, selling out stadiums in Atlanta; Birmingham, Ala.; New Orleans; and Raleigh, N.C.. But his stop in Washington, D.C. was the biggest, playing to 121,000 fans over three nights (Oct. 5, 8-9), combining for $20.7 million.

Those shows at Nationals Park give Brown his first month at No. 1 on Top Boxscores. He’s the first artist in venue history to report an engagement with a gross of more than $10 million (let alone $20 million), attendance of more than 100,000, or a string of three shows.

Since launching in June, Breezy Bowl XX grossed $295.5 million and sold just under two million tickets (1.983 million) over its 49 shows in Europe and North America. It’s the highest-grossing and best-selling tour of Brown’s career, more than three times over.

Guns N’ Roses follows at No. 2 on Top Tours, with $35.2 million and 346,000 tickets from 11 shows in October. It’s the second highest gross of the month, but the hard rock legends sold more tickets than anyone else.

GNR stakes their claim with the Latin American leg of the Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things Tour. The biggest one-night stop was the Oct. 25 performance at Sao Paulo’s Allianz Parque ($5.2 million; 47,600 tickets), but Buenos Aires in Argentina was the band’s ultimate winner, with $7.8 million and 73,300 tickets over two nights (Oct. 17-18) at Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco.

The tour began on May 1 in South Korea, playing throughout Asia and Europe over the summer. Those 27 shows grossed $95.6 million and sold 823,000 tickets. The October and November shows push the tour’s total revenue well over the $100 million mark, with one show in Mexico City left to be reported.

Yesterday (Nov. 24), Guns N’ Roses announced its 2026 world tour with headline dates in Brazil, Europe, and North America. It will continue a consistent pattern of touring for the band since reuniting in 2016. Since then, it has grossed more than $980 million, surely surging beyond $1 billion with next year’s tour.

Brown and GNR’s totals are significantly down from top honors in September, marking the end of stadium season in North America and Europe. Still, the top 30 is strong, with a total gross of $568.7 million and attendance of 4.5 million. Those figures are up 7% and 6%, respectively, from October of last year.

Two rap acts follow in the top five, with Travis Scott and YoungBoy Never Broke Again at Nos. 3-4, respectively. It’s relatively rare for a rapper to be in the top five, but the one-two punch of Scott and YoungBoy lengthens a strong 2025 for the genre, marking the third month where two such artists (with significant history on the Top Rap Albums and Hot Rap Songs charts) have paired up simultaneously. Tyler, The Creator did it in February with Drake, and again in March with j-hope.

They took wildly different paths to the top five this month. YoungBoy played 18 arena shows in the U.S., stacking up to $32.8 million in the second month of his first headline tour. Scott played five stadiums in Asia and South Africa, pushing his sprawling Circus Maximus Tour to $265 million since launching in 2023.

Lady Gaga rounds out the top five with $31.9 million and 185,000 tickets sold while in Europe on The Mayhem Ball. It’s her fourth month in the top 10 this year, stretching back to May when she hit Singapore’s Indoor Stadium for four nights. Through her Paris shows (Nov. 17-18, 20, 22), Gaga has grossed more than $225 million and sold 1.1 million tickets in 2025.

Last month, Tate McRae and Benson Boone made their top 10 debuts on the monthly Top Tours listing. This month, McRae ranks even higher (at No. 6) as her $111 million Miss Possessive Tour came to a close. She passes the proverbial baton, as another young woman in pop hits the top 10 for the first time: Laufey is No. 10 with $19.2 million and 180,000 tickets sold.
