BON JOVI's The Circle Tour has scored #1 on Billboard's Boxscore chart for their recent residency at London's O2 Arena. Promoted by AEG Live, the tour has earned the top-grossing spot for the second time this year on Billboard's Boxscore chart and the fourth time on Billboard's Hot Tours chart.

Bon Jovi opened the O2 three years ago, and now the band has come full circle with a stellar twelve show run that began on June 7th and culminated on June 26th, 2010. To launch the 2010 residency, which featured special guest appearances by KID ROCK and BOB GELDOF, the band blew the roof off of the O2, treating fans to the first ever performance on top of the venue's dome, nearly 200 feet above the ground. Throughout the series of concerts at the famed arena, Bon Jovi played a total of 72 unique songs, surpassing their original goal, with selections spanning their entire collection of 11 studio albums.

In advance of the O2 dates, Bon Jovi performed to sold-out crowds during their highly anticipated series of inaugural concerts at New Meadowlands Stadium in the band's home state of New Jersey on Wednesday, May 26th, Thursday, May 27th, Saturday, May 29th and Friday, July 9th, 2010.

The Circle Tour follows in the wake of the release of the band's 11th studio album, The Circle, which debuted at #1 in numerous countries including the US. Globally, the Grammy Award-winning band has sold more than 120 million albums, and performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans.

Bon Jovi's previous run, the hugely successful 2008 Lost Highway Tour, was Billboard's top-grossing tour of the year and now The Circle Tour is following in those footsteps.
