Pop singer Miley Cyrus lands in the No. 1 position on the Hot Tours rankings with $6.2 million reported from five U.S. markets on her solo world tour.  The top reported gross of just over $2 million was from a two-show stint at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. (Nov. 18-19). The combined attendance for both sold out shows at the Long Island arena was 29,277. The best-attended single show appearance came at Greensboro (N.C.) Coliseum (17,597) on Nov. 22. Since it's September kick off, the tour has earned over $38.6 million at the box office with a total of 39 shows reported by AEG Live, the tour promoter.

Britney Spears ranks among the Hot Tours for the second week in a row (No. 2) with totals from one of the Australian arenas scheduled on her Circus Tour's five-market trek down under. Brisbane Entertainment Centre has reported its box office totals from the pop star's three-night run that grossed just over $4 million ($4.4 million Australian). The 13,500-seat Brisbane arena hosted the tour on Nov. 22, 24 & 25.

Aventura makes its first appearance on the Hot Tours list at No. 3 with totals reported by tour promoter Cardenas Marketing Network. Touring in support of its album "The Last," released this past summer, the bachata group began its tour at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill. on Nov. 20. With the number of sold tickets nearing the 15,000 mark, Chicago-area fans filled the arena to capacity, generating more than $1.1 million in ticket sales. Sellouts were also reported at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. (Nov. 22), The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga. (Nov. 25) and Boston's Agganis Arena (Nov. 28). The Bronx, New York natives also played two shows at Trump Taj Mahal's Mark Etess Arena in Atlantic City on Nov. 27 & 29. Aventura's tour dates are currently scheduled through the beginning of February.
