A revista Billboard divulgou uma lista dos artistas que mais faturaram em tournês desde 1990. Madonna, mesmo estando em 4º lugar atrás de The Rolling Stones, U2 e Bruce Springsteen, leva a vantagem por ter feito menos shows e arrecadado mais, em proporção. A rainha do pop cantou para quase 10 milhões de pessoas em 382 shows e faturou $1,140,230,941 bilhão com suas 7 tours mundiais (a última tour de Madonna é a MDNA Tour, de 2012). Confira a lista.
