Kenny Chesney Surpasses Lady Gaga in Ticket Sales

Kenny Chesney notably took 2010 off from the road, and now only a little more than a month into his Goin' Coastal tour, fans have made it clear that he was missed.

The country superstar scored the highest-grossing tour last week, according to Billboard, bringing in more than $6.5 million in revenue. His impressive earnings top No. 2 ranked Lady Gaga by almost $1 million. The Allman Brothers Band came in third, with more than $3.5 million. Neil Young places a distant fourth, with just over $680,000, and Widespread Panic came in fifth, earning just slightly less than Neil.

The Zac Brown Band and Blake Shelton both had impressive showings for last week, as well. ZBB landed the eighth highest-grossing tour, with nearly $450,000, while Blake earned just more than $280,000.

Kenny's soaring income for last week is due in part to performing the second of his nine stadium shows schedule. 'The Boys of Fall' singer performed at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on April 16, raking in more than $4 million for the show. The Zac Brown Band, Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker all joined him for the night, entertaining the crowd of 46,551 fans.

The Goin' Coastal tour continues tonight (April 29), with a show in Mountain View, Calif. Kenny will head south to Indio, Calif. tomorrow night to perform at the Stagecoach Festival. Keep track of his concert schedule here.
