Bon Jovi lands at No. 1 on the weekly ranking of Hot Tours with $71.9 million in box office grosses reported from the European leg of the "Because We Can Tour" that has played concert venues in North America, South Africa and Europe since launching in February.

The European run began in Bulgaria on May 14 and wrapped with an appearance at the British Summer Time festival in London’s Hyde Park on July 5. Most of the concerts during the European trek were at large stadiums, but performances at outdoor concert sites were also on the itinerary.

The top attendance count came from a stadium performance in Munich on May 18, the first of four concerts in German cities. The sellout crowd topped 64,000 at Munich’s Olympic Stadium, site of the 1972 summer games. A string of concerts at U.S. stadiums began on July 12 with a show at Chicago’s Soldier Field and will continue through the end of July.
