Bad Bunny Back on Top: World Tour Resumes, Claims No. 2 on Artist Power Index

Bad Bunny makes a high-profile return to the lineup on the Artist Power Index, earning the No. 2 ranking after resuming his “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour” in Barcelona, Spain. Back-to-back concerts, May 22-23, at Estadi Olímpic de Montjuic Lluís Companys kicked off the European leg of the tour that is booked at stadiums in 10 countries on the continent through July 22.

His high placement on the chart is fueled by top 10 scoring in three of the four metrics that determine chart rankings. He has the eighth highest Live rank among all concert headliners currently on the road, based on ticket sales potential during the chart’s 30-day eligibility timeframe, and earns the 10 th highest score in both Streaming and Social.

Among the highlights of the rapper’s European trek will be a massive 10-show engagement at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid that runs from May 30 through June 15. Then, like the Barcelona stadium, seven more venues will host the tour for two nights, while stadiums in Brussels, Warsaw and Marseille, France, are each booked for a single performance.

Bad Bunny launched his world tour on Nov. 21, 2025, appearing for two nights at Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. That began a three-month run through Latin American markets that ended at São Paulo, Brazil’s Allianz Parque on Feb. 21. Then, the following weekend he performed two shows at ENGIE Stadium in Sydney, Australia, completing the opening set of 27 shows on the tour.

Bruno Mars, the only artist ranked higher than Bad Bunny on the Artist Power Index, retains his No. 1 chart position for a seventh consecutive week, also based on top 10 scores in three metrics. Along with the sixth-best Live score, he has the second-highest Streaming rank, behind Drake, and tops the list of artists in the Airplay category.

He is set to complete the opening North American leg of “The Romantic Tour” in Toronto on May 31 before heading to Europe in June. His first three shows will be at Stade de France in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis from the 18 th through the 21 st . Then, his European leg will wrap with a six-show stint at London’s Wembley Stadium in July. Finally, Mars will return to the U.S. in August to begin a stretch of stadium dates in North American cities booked through Dec. 8.

LIVE75 also features a repeat appearance at the top as Luke Combs stretches his hold at No. 1 into a sixth consecutive week based on ticket sales from his “My Kinda Saturday Night Tour.” As the only stadium headliner on the chart for the first four weeks of his run in the rankings, he also earned “Heavy Hitter” status as the touring artist with the top gross average per show, typically around the $9 million range each week. However, last week BTS debuted on the chart with ticket sales reported from their own stadium tour and took over that status with a whopping $10.7 million gross average from 13 shows.

This week, the South Korean K-pop stars remain at No. 2 behind Combs based on the average number of tickets sold, but their gross average jumps to $13 million from the eight most recent shows reported from the “Arirang World Tour.” With a total box-office take of $104.2 million from those eight concerts alone, $43.5 million of it came from three concerts held at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros, while $40.7 million was the total at Tampa, Florida’s Raymond James Stadium over three nights. Then, two concerts at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas brought in $20 million.

The $10.7 million gross average from all 13 reported shows, though, earns BTS the No. 1 ranking on Global Concert Pulse this week, as all of their shows since launching the tour land in GCP’s three-month window of chart eligibility. The tour began in the band’s home country at Goyang Stadium on April 9.
