SEVENTEEN Leads K-POP on Billboard's Mid-Year Touring Charts

K-POP group SEVENTEEN has emerged as the top-performing K-POP act on Billboard's latest global touring charts. The 13-member group landed at No. 7 on the mid-year Top Tours ranking, the highest position held by any K-POP artist on the list.

Billboard released its 2026 mid-year Boxscore report on Nov. 27 local time, covering ticketing data from Oct. 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026. According to the report, SEVENTEEN drew about 574,000 fans across 25 shows during that window and brought in more than $88 million in revenue. That performance also put the group at No. 9 on the Top Ticket Sales chart, again the highest ranking for a K-POP act.

SEVENTEEN was also the only K-POP artist to crack the top 30 on the Top Boxscores chart, which ranks single-engagement gross. The group's two-night run at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium on Feb. 28 and March 1, part of its "SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR 'NEW_' IN HONG KONG" leg, drew more than 73,000 fans in a sold-out run and landed at No. 18 on that chart.

The numbers reflect how far SEVENTEEN's global footprint has stretched over the past year. The group became the first K-POP act to headline Tecate Pa'l Norte, one of the largest music festivals in Latin America, with its 2025 set ranking No. 9 on the Top Boxscores chart. The broader "SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR 'NEW_'", which ran from September of last year through April, drew more than 900,000 fans across online and offline audiences combined.

For an industry where touring revenue increasingly defines an act's global standing, SEVENTEEN's showing places the group inside a tier of artists usually measured against the biggest names in Western pop and rock.
