Billboard has released its annual Top 25 chart of blockbuster tours. While Bon Jovi's Lost Highway tour came in at No. 1 with 99 sold-out shows and a gross of $210.7 million, Bruce Springsteen's Magic trek raked in $204.5 million and Madonna's Sticky & Sweet bill generated $185.7 million. And the only pseudo surprise on the list? Why, that'd have to be the Spice Girls reunion, which came in at $70.1 million despite claims that their careers are long over.
