Cher impacts the Jan. 11-dated Hot Tours recap at No. 2, while infusing the Boxscore chart with nine entries. The final 2019 dates of her ongoing Here We Go Again Tour earned $14.1 million and sold 109,521 tickets according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.

Dotting the Boxscore chart with 9 million-plus engagements, Cher ranks highest at No. 3 with a two-night stint at New York's Madison Square Garden on Dec. 3-4. She earned $3.8 million and sold out at 27,495 tickets over both nights at the Manhattan arena, while breaking the $1.5 million mark with single-night stops throughout Texas at Houston's Toyota Arena, San Antonio's AT&T Center and the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Cher's final dates of 2019 raised the diva's calendar-year gross to $108.2 million, making it the biggest year of her touring career in Boxscore history. Her previous bests were in 2002 and 2003, the first years of the Living Proof Tour, when she grossed $75.4 million and $68.5 million, respectively.
