Bad Bunny Debuts Atop Both LIVE75 and Global Concert Pulse, Lady Gaga Crowns APX

Pollstar’s first weekly charts of 2026 shine the light on two touring heavyweights featured at No. 1 based on stadium-sized box office results from ongoing world tours. Bad Bunny debuts at the top on both LIVE75 and Global Concert Pulse, while Lady Gaga earns the highest ranking on the Artist Power Index, both with ticket sales figures from performances in the final two months of 2025.

Bad Bunny’s chart success follows the first 12 Latin American stadium concerts on his “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour” that launched on Nov. 21 in the Dominican Republic. Collectively, the tour’s opening run of shows in 2025 racked up a massive $100.7 million from 697,396 sold tickets, averaging $8.4 million in grosses per show with an average ticket count of 58,116. Both averages are easily chart toppers as the gross surpasses Paul McCartney’s $5.3 million average, ranked second on Global Concert Pulse, by more than $3 million, and his ticket average is 26,757 tickets more than Lady Gaga’s 31,359 average, which earns the No. 2 ranking on LIVE75.

Eight of the Puerto Rican rapper’s 12 reported shows occurred in Mexico City at Estadio GNP Seguros, where he performed for over half a million fans between Dec. 10 and 21. Grosses during the run topped $80 million, setting the bar high in the year ahead for the most dollars earned from a single concert engagement.

Prior to the Mexican performances, he sold 64,175 tickets and grossed $7.9 million at the Dominican Republic opener at Santo Domingo’s Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez, Nov. 21-22. Then, on Dec. 5-6, his second stop on the tour was at Estadio Nacional in San José, Costa Rica, with attendance totaling 115,485 over both nights and a $12.2 million gross.

Lady Gaga has remained at No. 1 on the Artist Power Index continuously since claiming the top ranking on the Oct. 10 chart based largely on her performances in Europe last fall on “The Mayhem Ball.” With 24 arena shows booked on the continent from Sep. 29 through Nov. 22, she sold a total of 368,145 tickets at 10 venues and grossed over $65.6 million in Europe.

Then, in December, she ended the year in Australia with a stretch of five stadium performances in three markets. In Melbourne, she played two shows at Marvel Stadium, moving 125,941 tickets, Dec. 5-6, for a $24 million gross. A single concert followed on the 9^th at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium with 49,196 tickets sold and $10.3 million in sales. Then her last 2025 shows on the tour were held on Dec. 12-13 in Sydney at Accor Stadium. With a two-night attendance totaling 143,859, her final stadium engagement grossed a whopping $27.4 million.

Along with her performances in Melbourne and Sydney, two more of her concert engagements in 2025 surpassed the $20 million mark at the box office. Prior to the official tour launch in Las Vegas in July, she performed a string of promotional events supporting the March release of her album Mayhem. Among those events was a four-night run at Singapore National Stadium that grossed $40.8 million, May 18-24. Then, later on the tour, she played six shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden in August and September and racked up $26.4 million from 81,585 sold tickets.“The Mayhem Ball” is set to return to the road this month, resuming with two stadium performances, Jan. 21-22, in Japan at Osaka’s Kyocera Dome. Likewise, Bad Bunny’s tour also returns early in 2026 as he plays his first shows of the year at Chile’s Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Jan. 9, 10 and 11.
