Beyonce tops the list of all-time highest-grossing Black artists with Renaissance Tour

Beyoncé is not even done with her Renaissance World Tour concerts and yet, she figures on top of the list of all-time highest-grossing Black artists. Not only that, the Grammy Award-winning singer also dominates the list with maximum mentions.

After touring Europe, Queen Bey is currently on her North American Tour of Renaissance.

According to the Evening Standard, official chart data suggests that Beyonce’s The Renaissance World Tour, which began on May 10, 2023, has already made $296 million (£232 million) at the end of July 2023.


These figures have put the Renaissance Tour of Beyonce ahead of the legendary Michael Jackson’s 1997 tour that made $165 million (£129 million).

Also, Beyonce is close to the numbers of Bruno Mars’ £305 million record for his 24K Magic Tour. Mars stands at No.1 as of August 2023, and Beyonce may soon take over. Her Renaissance World Tour has three more months to go before it ends in October 2023.

Not only that, Beyoncé also holds five of the top 10 titles in the list of the all-time top-grossing concert tours by Black artists. Out of that, her husband and rapper Jay-Z has been mentioned alongside for two of her entries for the On The Run concerts.
