Shocking new milestone: BTS just smashed The Rolling Stones' long-standing monthly tour revenue record, seizing No.1 on Billboard's Top Tours with their 'ARIRANG' world tour.
According to Billboard's Boxscore data released on the 29th (local time), BTS took the No.1 spot on the 'Top Tours' chart for May, following their win in April, thanks to the 'ARIRANG' world tour.
From May 2 to 28, across 12 shows, BTS grossed a total of $127.8 million (approximately ₩197.9622 billion). That figure is 35% higher than The Rolling Stones' monthly gross of $95 million (about ₩147.155 billion) in August 2019. By surpassing the legendary British band's benchmark, BTS wrote new history on the global touring stage and topped Billboard's Boxscore chart.
This marks BTS's fourth time at No.1 on the chart, setting their own best. It also stands as the fifth-highest monthly gross among all artists on Billboard Boxscore.
BTS will continue their world tour in Belgium on July 1–2, meeting fans there.
