Drake and Migos had one of the biggest tours of the year with their joint "Aubrey & The Three Migos" tour. Although there were a few cancellations and postponements, it proved to be another successful venture on the road for both Drake and Migos. However, the stats behind how much they made off of the tour. According to a new report, the "Aubrey & The Three Migos" tour was a massive success in the box office, helping them enter the top 10 highest grossing tours in North America of the year.

Drake and Migos grossed $79M over the course of their "Aubrey & The Three Migos" tour, Pollstar reports. The Canadian rapper and ATL trio sold 678,410 tickets over the course of 43 dates. The success of the tour finds them rounding out the top 10 of the highest grossing tours in North America. Taylor Swift holds down the top spot with 1,268,706 tickets sold. Jay-Z and Beyonce's "OTR II" tour snagged the second place in terms of North American tours with 1,298,038 tickets sold. Drake reportedly left the run with $47M while Migos went three-way on the $24.5M earnings from the tour.

This isn't the first time Drake's been on the list. He and Future previously made their way onto the top 10 of the list following their "Summer Sixteen" tour. The two rappers pulled in $5M than Drake did with the Migos, but that's likely due to the fact they also played 11 more dates.
