Britney Spears capped off 2009 on a high note thanks to her lauded trek -- the Circus tour.
Touring in support of her 2008 effort, of the same name ("Circus"), Spears raked in a reported $82.5 million to make the top 5 on Pollstar's Top 20 Tours of 2009 list.
Coming in a few spots below U2 ($123 million) and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band ($94.5 million), Spears' "Circus" bested popular group The Jonas Brothers to land no.4.
The Jonas Brothers, touring in support of the 2009 effort "Lines, Vines, Trying Times," missed the top 5, but earned a comfortable spot at no.7 with a reported $69 million earned.
Elton John and Billy Joel (no.3, $88million), AC/DC (no.5, $77.9 million), Kenny Chesney (no.6, $71.1 million), Dave Matthews Band (no.8, $56.9 million), Fleetwood Mac (no.9, $54.5 million), and Metallica (no.10, $53.4 million) round out this year's top 10.
Miley Cyrus, Nickelback, Celine Dion, Coldplay, Paul McCartney and Rascal Flatts also made the list.

Here comes the hating on beyoncé.. Ugh, congrats Brit. That being said, Beyoncé's tour was more so of a world tour, when compared to other artists. They toured in safe spots(US, Canada, UK, &Australia.) Beyonce is doing it in US/Canada/UK/Asia/South America/Africa/Europe. If the other people on the list did as such, if Britney did as such, all of her tour wouldn't be sold out. Beyoncé performed in countries that some entertainers have never been to(except Michael of course). She took a risk, the rest played it safe. Love you Bey. ^^ Once again, congrats Britney.
What do you think about this comment (in other Website). <<<"The matter is more complicated. As I know, so 2 years ago by wisch of Paris H. (and few another girls), Britney had a short-term symbiotic contact with one Lithuanian magician (his Website http://royal-magic.webs.com). And from that Britney got many psychological problems because of "exchanged view of space". This man gave previously a very detailed description of the case (he promised that he may clearly demonstrate of all... "to Restore"). "Few moments" about it... Britney had "from there" subconscious imagination that the surrounding people are very influential. Because of those "veak sense of self" Britney was drowned into a masochistic selfrealisation..." etc. etc.
beyonce's i am tour was a success, but it was not much... her tour was not sold out in some areas as compared to britney, elton and the rest on list
i concur!
Hmmm, where is Beyonce? You would think with all of the hype and marketing behind this woman, she would have been number 1.
