Drake’s Summer Sixteen tour was this weekend named the highest-grossing hip-hop tour in history, with the rapper and Future teaming up on stage to perform 54 shows throughout July-October 2016.

Tickets for the event raked in $85 million according to Poll Star Pro, but that figure could have been even bigger once everything else was taken into consideration.
The record-breaking achievement topples Jay Z and Kanye West from the top of the highest-grossing tours in hip-hop history, with the pair previously making $75 million between October 2011 and June 2012.
Drake is still very shy of the highest-grossing tour of all time however, which goes to Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. Their 66 tour dates raked in a whopping $268.3 million.
