Lady Gaga, Shakira, Chris Brown Remain At No. 1; Lewis Capaldi Has Top Debut On LIVE75

Retaining their No. 1 rankings on Pollstar charts for another week are Lady Gaga, who earns her tenth consecutive appearance at the top on the Artist Power Index, Shakira, who makes it two in a row on LIVE75, and Chris Brown, who heads up the Global Concert Pulse for a third week. All three artists have now completed their 2025 tours, Gaga and Shakira in the past week and Brown in mid-October.

The final 2025 box-office numbers have been reported for Lady Gaga’s “The Mayhem Ball” that began in July and wrapped for the year on Dec. 13 in Sydney, Australia. Her tour grossed $230 million from 1,065,370 sold tickets at 56 shows in North America, Europe and Australia in 2025, but she is set to return to the road in January. The tour’s final stretch will include shows at two venues in Japan and a second North American run that will wrap in mid-April.

Shakira’s repeat at No. 1 on LIVE75 is based on ticket sales reported from Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa in Quito, Ecuador, on the South American leg of her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour” that completed its 2025 stadium run on Dec. 15 in Córdoba, Argentina. However, she has one more run of three shows, dubbed “Up Close & Personal,” planned at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, at the end of the year, and her stadium trek will resume in February.

Then, Chris Brown’s three-week hold at No. 1 on Global Concert Pulse comes from box-office revenue generated during his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour that ran from June through October. The final 12 performances on his tour still land in the eligibility period for the chart that ranks the highest gross average during the previous three months. The rapper’s gross average totaled just over $7 million per show.

Among the artists making their chart debut this week, Lewis Capaldi enters the lineups on both LIVE75 and Global Concert Pulse based on box-office results reported during his seven-city concert tour through Australia and New Zealand that kicked off Nov. 30 and ran through Dec. 17. Ticket sales from three performances at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena totaled 43,491 for an average per show of 14,497, earning the Scottish singer-songwriter a top 10 appearance at No. 4 on LIVE75 as well as the “Hot Shot” classification as the touring artist with the highest ranked debut.

Capaldi’s debut on Global Concert Pulse is determined by grosses reported from nine shows, including his three-show Sydney engagement as well as six earlier performances at three European arenas in September. Along with his $4.5 million gross in Sydney, he racked up $8.3 million from two-show runs in the U.K. at Manchester and Birmingham, along with two performances in Dublin. The gross average of $1.4 million from all nine shows earns the No. 19 ranking on the chart.

Billie Eilish has the top debut on Global Concert Pulse at No. 9 based on an eight-show gross average of $2.6 million during the past three months while touring with “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour,” while only one act, Toto, makes a debut appearance on the Artist Power Index at No. 50. Four others return to the APX chart, though, after previously appearing in the past quarter: Foreigner, Mumford & Sons, GloRilla and Marshmello.

Along with Capaldi, two other concert headliners debut in the top 10 on LIVE75 led by Doja Cat at No. 7 with a sold-ticket average of 12,467 from three performances on her “Tour Ma Vie World Tour” that began in Oceania. Following her opening performance on Nov. 18 in Auckland, New Zealand, she played her first Australian concert on the 22nd at Perth’s RAC Arena, selling 11,412 tickets. Then, her two shows at Qudos Bank Arena moved a total of 25,991 tickets, Dec. 1-2.

Ranked No. 9 on LIVE75, The Offspring debuts on the chart with a four-show ticket average of 12,225 from arena performances in four European countries during the band’s “Supercharged – Worldwide in ‘25” tour. Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany; Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam; Dublin’s 3Arena and Utilita Arena Newcastle in the U.K. all hosted the tour in November. Throughout the year, the punk rockers have toured the Americas, Asia and Australia as well as Europe in support of their latest album, released in October 2024.
