Michael Bublé takes the No. 1 ranking on the current Hot Tours tally with box office totals reported from the third North American leg of his Crazy Love Tour that launched in March.  The Canadian singer drew over 55,000 fans to five U.S. arenas, grossing $4.9 million at the box office, based on the totals reported during the past week by New Orleans-based concert promoter Beaver Productions.  Sellout crowds filled Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. (Nov. 26) and TD Garden in Boston (Nov. 27), but the top attendance and gross totals came at New York City's Madison Square Garden with a sold out performance on Nov. 28.  A total of 13,071 tickets were sold at the famed Manhattan arena with ticket sales totaling $1.4 million.

Madison Square Garden also produced the top gross and attendance for this week's second-highest ranked artist, Furthur, headed by Grateful Dead veterans Phil Lesh and Bob Weir.  The band played two shows at The Garden on Nov. 20-21 with 30,876 tickets sold for both evenings, grossing over $1.5 million.  The New York shows were the final dates in a string of November performances that began in Minneapolis on Nov. 8 at Northrop Memorial Auditorium.  Shows followed in Ames, Iowa, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Reading, Pa., Baltimore and Worcester, Mass. before the New York date that closed out the brief November leg.  Furthur is set to close out the year in San Francisco with two shows booked at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Dec. 30-31.

Ranking No. 3 on this week's chart is Rod Stewart who made his debut at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas during November with eight sold out performances grossing more than $3.9 million.  The run of shows began on Nov. 6 and wrapped on the 21st, drawing a total of 35,853 fans.  Stewart toured most recently in Europe back during the summer with ticket sales topping $27 million (US$) from a slate of concerts that occurred from mid-May through the end of July.
