This is the latest ranking, as far as Billboard Boxscore goes. Every show has been reported to Billboard for U2, the Rolling Stones and Madonna. Billboard has put together a ranking for the decade 2000-2009, so all we need to do is add the figures from 2010 to date for these artists (http://www.billboard.com/articles/ne...-of-the-decade ). As for Bruce, the Seeger Sessions Tour has never been reported and was not included in the Billboard ranking. That would be another $45 million in gross and 500,000 in attendance. Obviously, data for Bon Jovi is incomplete on this list. A few years back, however, Billboard has published the totals from all Bon Jovi tours since 2000 for the purpose of their Bon Jovi cover story.

Those figures are already up to date. Last show included for Bon Jovi is Johannesburg. For the Stones it's Vancouver and for Bruce it's Monchengladbach.
