Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Colombian singer Shakira set a Guinness World Record as the highest-grossing Latin touring artist of all time, surpassing previous benchmarks by Luis Miguel and Bad Bunny, according to data published by Billboard.
Billboard Boxscore reported that the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has generated $421.6 million and sold 3.3 million tickets across 86 reported shows since launching Feb. 11. With those figures, the tour stands as the most successful ever by a Spanish-language artist.
The milestone allowed Shakira to eclipse Luis Miguel's 2023-2024 tour, which grossed $409.5 million, as well as Bad Bunny's World's Hottest Tour in 2022, which reached $314.1 million. Karol G followed with Mañana Será Bonito, which earned $313.3 million between 2023 and 2024.
The Guinness record was secured Dec. 11 during Shakira's concert at Vélez Sarsfield Stadium in Buenos Aires, when cumulative tour revenue surpassed $410 million. Additional shows in Argentina and the United States pushed totals higher.
"After a 30-year career that required so much effort and faced so many challenges, living this moment is incredible," Shakira told Billboard. "I can only be grateful for the loyalty and passion of my fans, who give meaning to everything I do."
