Jelly Roll’s ‘Beautifully Broken Tour’ Earns Top Debut On LIVE75

Jelly Roll enters the top 10 on LIVE75 with the “Hot Shot” debut of the week, scoring the highest ranking among artists in their first appearance on the chart. He holds the No. 9 position based on ticket sales figures reported from three venues on his “Beautifully Broken Tour” that began in late August and is booked in U.S. arenas through November.

The first box-office report on the tour came from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where the singer-songwriter performed on Sept. 6. The show drew a sellout crowd of 13,118 and produced a gross totaling $1.18 million. Later in the month, his concert at MVP Arena in Albany, New York, was also sold out with tickets numbering 11,671. That performance brought in a gross of $976,108. Then, another sellout on Sept. 29 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, grossed $1.35 million and was attended by 12,818 fans. All three shows were produced by Live Nation and featured opening performances by Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay.

The tour, which supports Jelly Roll’s studio album released on Oct. 11, includes more than 50 dates set in American cities this fall, along with a handful of fall festival appearances. He has been a major draw at festivals during much of 2024, appearing at numerous events in U.S. cities from April through August.

Along with Jelly Roll, there are 19 more touring artists making their debut on LIVE75 including both Roberto Carlos and André Rieu who also enter the chart in the Top 20. Carlos is 14th in the ranking with ticket sales reported from his recent European tour. In Madrid, Spain, he sold 8,921 tickets at WiZink Center and grossed $695,688 on Sept. 26, while the following week he sold 24,219 tickets for two performances at MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, grossing more than $2.39 million.

Earlier this summer, the Brazilian singer played a brief stretch of shows in U.S. cities and grossed $2.3 million from 23,414 sold tickets at six concerts. Included was a June 21 performance at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, with 6,603 tickets sold and a $799,675 gross.

Rieu’s No. 16 ranking on LIVE75 is based on nine performances during September at two arenas in Latin American cities. The first was Santiago, Chile’s Movistar Arena where he sold 56,299 tickets at five concerts, grossing $4.75 million. Then he and his orchestra appeared four nights at Bogotá, Colombia’s Movistar Arena, moving 34,289 tickets for a $3.48 million gross.

On the Artist Power Index, only one concert headliner makes a debut appearance as Mexican cumbia band Los Ángeles Azules lands on the chart for the first time in the past quarter of the year. The group earns the No. 46 ranking based on 11 chart-eligible concerts on the “El Amor de Mi Vida” tour’s fall trek.

The tour kicked off early this year in February with shows booked in North American theaters and arenas through April but was extended into the fall. Then, the second leg of the tour began in late August at ACL Live at The Moody Theater in Austin, Texas, with a final headlining performance on Oct. 11 at The Venue at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana. During the first leg of the 2024 North American tour, box-office data was reported for 15 of the concerts showing an average of 3,672 tickets sold per show and a gross average of $312,000.

The Artist Power Index sees a change at No. 1 for a third consecutive week as Bruno Mars returns to the top position after scoring the highest ranking two weeks ago when Taylor Swift dropped off the chart due to her tour’s temporary hiatus. He held No. 1 for one week then fell to No. 2 last week behind Post Malone.

With Top 10 scores in two of the four metrics that determine chart placement, both Airplay and Streaming, Mars heads up this week’s list of top performers fueled largely by stadium concerts in three countries. The first was Indonesia with three September performances at Jakarta International Stadium, followed by another performance last month at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s National Stadium. Then, also eligible for current chart inclusion are the first four of six stadium performances at MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil.

LIVE75 sees a repeat at No. 1 as Coldplay makes it two weeks in a row based on sales from four-show engagements at the final two stadiums on the group’s summer trek through Europe. The eight concerts in August and September on the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” averaged 72,574 sold seats per show with a chart-best gross average of $10.3 million to remain at the top.
