Lady Gaga Returns To No. 1 On Artist Power Index During ‘The Mayhem Ball’ World Tour

Lady Gaga moves up one position to take the No. 1 overall ranking on the Artist Power Index after scoring top 25 results in all four chart eligibility metrics. Along with the sixth highest Airplay rank and seventh highest in Streaming, she has the tenth highest Live score based on arena performances in the final two North American cities on “The Mayhem Ball” along with multiple shows in the first two European arenas booked on the tour.

This week marks her return to No. 1 on the chart in 2025, as she previously earned the top ranking for three consecutive weeks in May. She is one of only three women to earn the highest APX ranking this year. Billie Eilish and Sabrina Carpenter also ranked No. 1 for multiple weeks during the first half of 2025.

Lady Gaga began the ongoing tour, her eighth as a headliner, on July 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a sold-out run of three concerts, attended by 44,530 fans. Multiple shows followed at North American arenas in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Miami, Toronto and Chicago where she sold 43,016 tickets at United Center, her final stop in North America this year. Altogether at 27 performances through Sep. 18, her sold ticket count in the U.S. and Canada was 378,229 for a combined gross of $102.6 million.

The European leg of “The Mayhem Ball” began on Sep. 29 at The O2 in London with four concerts through Oct. 4, while a second U.K. engagement followed at Manchester’s Co-op Live with performances Oct. 7 and 8. Together, combined grosses from both arenas reached $19.1 million with a total of 95,286 tickets sold.

Concerts in seven more countries in Europe are planned through Nov. 22, but her final run of shows in 2025 will be a three-city Australian tour in December. “The Mayhem Ball” will stretch into 2026 with six shows planned in two Japanese cities in January, followed by more North American dates booked through mid-April.

Lady Gaga also appears on Global Concert Pulse this week, taking the No. 10 ranking with a three-month gross average of $3.8 million from 27 performances. And, on LIVE75, she ranks in the top 10 based on ticket sales at 14 of the most recent concerts on her tour. She averaged 13,915 tickets per show to land at No. 10 on the chart.

Repeating at No. 1, though, is Ed Sheeran who holds the highest ranking on LIVE75 for a third consecutive week based on tickets sold at the last three concerts on his “Mathematics Tour.” His final engagement at Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany, racked up a ticket total of 190,718 at three stadium performances, Sept. 5-7, for a per-show average of 63,572.

New to LIVE75 this week is Green Day with the highest ranked debut on the chart. The band enters the lineup at the No. 3 position with an average of 36,040 tickets sold per show, based on sales reports from six stadiums on “The Saviors Tour.” The venues were all in Latin American markets during the tour’s final international leg before wrapping with three U.S. festival appearances and a Sep. 30 finale at Yaamava’ Theater in Highland, California.

The tour ran for 16 months in support of Green Day’s Saviors album, released through Reprise Records in January of last year. Throughout the tour that launched on May 30, 2024, the band performed on six continents, primarily in stadiums. According to sales figures reported from 51 headlining performances on the tour, the band averaged 31,017 sold tickets and a $3.4 million gross per show.
