U2 Scores Top Tour of 2009, Second of DecadeFull recap of U2 appearances on Billboard's year-end of decade-end charts
@U2,
December 14, 2009
Billboard magazine has published dozens of lists recapping its chart tracking for both 2009 and the entire decade. The most jaw-dropping chart is the Top Touring Artists of the Decade, where U2 ranks number two overall with nearly a billion dollars in gross revenue from touring -- $844,157,925 to be exact. The Rolling Stones are first, beating U2 by a paltry $25 million. Billboard's numbers show U2 selling 9,869,953 tickets during the decade, second to the seemingly always-on-tour Dave Matthews Band (11,230,696). As for the 2009 calendar year, the U2 360 tour is ranked number one with more than $311 million gross and more than three million tickets sold.
