The Formation World Tour began in Miami, Florida back in April (16).


Beyonce's biggest show to date came when she took over the Stade de France in Paris on 21 July (16) - over 75,000 tickets were sold for the gig, making it the tour's best-attended show.


Billy Joel is second on the new Hot Tours chart thanks to $4 million tour haul, and Shawn Mendes comes in third, ahead of Mumford & Sons and Maroon 5.
