This past year saw the continued development of Latin music. Pollstar reports that two dozen Latin music artists were among the Top 200 Worldwide Tours in 2022, including 11 in the top 100 spots. This year's chart had 32, including 16 in the top 100. The Mexican pop group RBD ranked as the top-grossing Latin act of 2023 with $146,410,389, which was good for the No. 13 spot overall. Right behind them was Colombian music star Karol G, who made the leap to stadiums this past year and earned $144,570,852 off 18 shows. Other notable artists that charted high ranged from crooner Luis Miguel (No. 22 with $94.55 million) to Romeo Santos (No. 26, $82.22 million) to rising Mexican star Peso Pluma (No. 30 with $67.85 million in his first year touring the U.S.) "The Latin market's insane," declared Move Concerts CEO Phil Rodriguez. "I mean, you hear of some of the grosses Bad Bunny has in arenas — it's stadium grosses in arenas. It's mind-boggling."
