  "account": "Over the past 40 years on Billboard Boxscore, Latin music artists have left a significant mark with their sold-out tours across the Americas. To compile this list, Billboard is focusing on the top 10 highest grossing concert tours by Latin acts, as defined by those eligible for the Top Latin Albums and Hot Latin Songs charts. In 2018-19, Luis Miguel made history as the first Latin artist to earn over $100 million on a single tour during the Mexico Por Siempre Tour. Since 2022, fifteen more Latin tours have crossed the $100 million mark, with three continuing into 2026 and 2027.\n\nThe highest-ranking tours on this list belong to two of this year's tours, both selling out stadiums on multiple continents. The surge in revenue for recent tours can be attributed to factors such as inflation and the booming ticketing market. However, beyond these economic drivers, Latin music has experienced explosive growth in the 2020s. Reggaeton, pop, and regional Mexican artists have made their presence felt on genre-defying charts like the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, as well as the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. rankings. Moreover, they have joined forces with classic rock bands, pop stars, and rappers to become some of the most successful touring acts in recent years.\n\nNotably, ten tours by eight different Latin artists have sold more than one million tickets, an achievement never seen before the pandemic era. The accompanying list outlines the ten highest grossing Latin tours in Billboard Boxscore history, based on figures reported as of Oct. 22, 2026.",
