Usher & Chris Brown Bring R&B to No. 1 on Monthly Boxscore Report
The R&B Tour was the highest-grossing and best-selling tour of September.
Usher and Chris Brown's collaborative R&B tour, The R&B Tour, topped Billboard's monthly Boxscore charts in September 2026, marking a historic first for a co-headliner pair. Grossing $77.4 million and selling 423,000 tickets across 10 shows, the tour surpassed BTS and The Weeknd's previous bests. Usher claimed the No. 1 spot for the first time, while Brown returned to the top one year after his last reign.
Despite a decline in gross and attendance from their July and August performances, the duo's run will likely challenge other co-headlined tours to become the highest-grossing ever. Joining them at No. 2 was Latin artist Karol G, whose Viajando Por El Mundo Tropi tour grossed $73 million and sold 355,000 tickets. Celine Dion, who returned to touring after a six-year hiatus, landed at No. 3 with $62.9 million and 269,000 tickets from her Paris residency.
K-pop stars BTS and BigBang rounded out the top five, signaling a competitive month for touring artists.
