“BTS” doesn’t stand for “Bringing The Sales”, but it easily could. In 2019, these once-underdogs are now rolling in gold!
According to Billboard, BTS’s Love Yourself: Speak Yourself stadium tour has grossed $99.3 million in total since it kicked off on May 4 in Los Angeles.
BTS’s US shows previously earned them the top spot on Billboard’s Hot Tours recap for May. BTS outsold the second-highest grossing act, Metallica by over $23 million and 94,000+ tickets. P!NK, Spice Girls, and Ariana Grande also ranked in the top 5.
