Read excerpt
Billboard published the August Boxscore report on Wednesday (Sept. 30) with BTS back on top, hovering over a record-breaking top five with The Weeknd, Usher and Chris Brown, Karol G, and Noah Kahan. But while the biggest stars of K-pop, Latin, country and more packed stadiums, comedians were road warrioring their way to sold-out theaters and arenas.

It’s his 13th time in the top 10, ninth in the top five, and seventh in the top three. But this is his very first time at No. 1 with the highest-grossing and best-selling tour of the month. Plus, stadium season heats up with best-ever overall figures for the month’s top 30 tours. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Th

In the wake of Justin Bieber’s headlining (and headline-grabbing) Coachella performances in April, last year’s “Daisies” jolted back to the top 10 of the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. for two weeks just after. Even more striking, more than a dozen tracks from across his career debuted on or re-entered the lists, topped by 2012’s “Beauty and a Beat” (featuring Nicki Minaj), which ultimately was No. 1 on each chart for multiple weeks.
