List: Top Ten Grossing North American Music Act Tours
Date: 2008
Source: Pollstar
Base: All music acts touring the USA and Canada in 2004
Notes: Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour produced the highest revenues in 2008, which will hopefully help her when it comes to paying the alimonies due to British ex-husband Guy Ritchie. The revenues were down on 2007, for example the previous biggest tour was The Police at US$133.2 million last year, and the record remains with The Rolling Stones 2005 tour that raised US$162 million
