Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour is being called the highest grossing tour in North America this year.

Her concerts had tickets sales of over $105 million in North America and $280 million worldwide, Pollstar reports.

The Sticky & Sweet tour to promote Madonna's album Hard Candy was the singer's first venture since signing a deal with Live Nation, reportedly worth about $120 million.

Other top grossing tours for 2008 included Celine Dion, who made $94 million, and concerts by The Eagles, which brought in $73.4 million, according to Pollstar.

  • Madonna has staying power...gotta give her that. But why can't she stay in a stable relationship? And the name of her tour is a little nasty and gross.

  • I attended the Sticky and Sweet Tour at Madison Square Garden and at Dolphin Stadium, it was off the hook. I can't wait until Madonna tours again.
