Concert industry magazine Pollstar have released their list of the Top 50 worldwide tours for 2012.

Madonna topped the list with $296.1 million in ticket sales over 67 of 88 shows reported.

($210.2 million over 66 shows), Roger Waters at #3 ($186.4 million over 48 dates), and Metallica at #8 ($86.1 million over 21 concerts).
