Chart Scene: Travis Scott Tops LIVE75 With Final ‘Circus Maximus’ Shows

Travis Scott debuts at No. 1 on LIVE75 following the completion of his “Circus Maximus Tour” that wrapped on Oct. 30 in Auckland, New Zealand after a yearlong worldwide run. He sold 278,662 tickets at six performances in four stadiums during the final Oceania leg of the tour, averaging 46,443 tickets per show to earn the top ranking. His grosses from Australia and New Zealand reached $32.2 million for an average of $5.37 million per concert, also the highest average for any touring artist on the chart.

He kicked off the tour’s final leg through Oceania in Sydney with sellout crowds at Allianz Stadium totaling 78,572 on Oct. 17 and 18. With 41,814 of those fans present on the second night, the Oct. 18 show set a new all-time attendance record for a concert headliner at the stadium, according to a statement released by the venue. That same performance also featured a surprise appearance by The Weekend who was in the country on his own tour. He played two shows at the stadium the following week.

Scott headed to Melbourne for his second two-show engagement and performed for 111,247 attendees at Marvel Stadium, Oct. 22-23, grossing $12.6 million from both sellouts. Then he performed one concert on Oct. 26 at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium that grossed $6.1 million from an audience of 47,723 before heading to New Zealand for the finale. Auckland’s Eden Park hosted the last concert on the tour and welcomed a crowd of 41,120, grossing $3.1 million.

During its entire run, the “Circus Maximus Tour” racked up a box-office gross topping $200 million from 1.65 million sold tickets at 76 concerts. The shows were booked in arenas as well as stadiums and other outdoor concert sites in North and South America, Europe and Oceania.

Scott also lands on Global Live Boxoffice with 10 of his concert engagements ranked among the highest-grossing events of the week. His $12.6 million take from Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium is the second highest overall on the chart with only David Gilmour ranked higher. The Pink Floyd alum takes the top position with a $17 million box-office haul from five sellouts at Madison Square Garden in New York. Then, Scott’s Sydney event at Allianz Stadium follows at No. 3 with its $10.5 million gross.

The Artist Power Index also has a new top-ranked performer as Bruno Mars moves up four positions to claim No. 1. It marks his third time in 2024 to score the highest ranking, having landed atop the chart in the Jan. 22 issue and again in the Oct. 14 issue. This week, his ranking stems from having the top scores in both the Streaming and Social categories which contribute to chart placement as well as the fifth-best Airplay rank. He also earns the 10th highest Live score based on the final five stadium performances on his “Bruno Mars: Live in Brazil” tour that ran from Oct. 4 through Nov. 5.

He kicked off the trek through Brazilian cities in São Paulo, playing six nights through Oct. 13 at Estádio MorumBIS, then performed at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro on the 16th, 19th and 20th. Two concerts followed in Brasília at Arena BRB Mané Garrincha, Oct. 26-27, and two more at Estádio Couto Pereira in Curitiba, Oct. 31-Nov. 1, before a finale in Belo Horizonte at Estádio Mineirão.

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

CMA Album of the Year winner Cody Johnson earns “Noisemaker” status on LIVE75 as the touring artist with the largest move up the chart, jumping from No. 7 in the previous issue to No. 2 this week. The country star earns his ranking based on an average of 20,446 sold seats per show in an amphitheater, a stadium and an arena.

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