BTS lands No. 2 on Billboard Top Tours for July with $102.5M from just 8 European shows
Eight European shows across London, Munich, Brussels, and Paris landed BTS at No. 2 on July's Top Tours chart. Billboard counted them among only three acts ever to clear $100M in a single month.
BTS ranked 2nd on the Billboard Top Tours chart for July, pulling $102.5 million (approximately ₩141.4 billion) from eight European concerts on their BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'.
The Weeknd took first place with 16 shows. Half the dates. Nearly the same revenue tier.
All of BTS's major July stops cracked the Top Box Score top 10. The Paris leg at Stade de France drew 185,000 people and placed 3rd. Other July venues included Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Allianz Arena in Munich, and King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
Billboard flagged BTS as only the third act in history to surpass $100 million in monthly tour revenue, after Beyoncé and Bad Bunny. They had already set their own group record in May with 12 shows, roughly ₩190 billion, and held the No. 1 spot on the Top Tours chart in both April and May.
As of August 11, the cumulative picture is starker: 38 concerts in, the ARIRANG tour has grossed $433.2 million (approximately ₩599.8 billion) from 2.3 million tickets sold, surpassing the group's previous highest-grossing tour, LOVE YOURSELF.
Their fifth studio album ARIRANG has now charted on the UK Official Albums Chart for 23 consecutive weeks — a new personal record for the group.
