Garth Brooks has become country music's top touring artist for the year 2019, according to Pollstar.
Despite playing just 13 shows spread over 10 cities in the year, Brooks ranks at No. 24 on the list of Top 100 touring artists of 2019.
Brooks, the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year, reportedly sold 856,000 tickets, netting $76.1 million, for the year.
Although the numbers look great, they are well below those achieved by P!nk, the year's No. 1 touring act, who sold more than 1.8 million tickets and raked in $215.2 million from 68 shows.
Pollstar's Top 100 artists of 2019 include 19 country or country-adjacent acts.
Erich Church (28), Florida Georgia Line (35), Carrie Underwood (44), Thomas Rhett (45), Zac Brown Band (50), Luke Bryan (52) and Chris Stapleton (61) are the other country artists to have made the list this year.
According to the data, Brooks, who commenced his tour on March 9 in St. Louis, grossed $5.8 million per show. He tied with the Spice Girls for fewest performances out of any acts in the top 50.
On the North American tours list, Brooks ranked ninth, while Church came in at No. 13.
