Billboard Boxscore has released an updated ranking of the 25 highest-grossing hip-hop touring acts of all time, marking its third such list after previous editions in 2023 and 2024. The update reflects hip-hop's continued growth as a dominant force in live music, with six new acts joining the ranking since 2024, spanning artists who broke through in the 2020s as well as veterans from the 1990s.

The threshold for making the top 25 has nearly doubled in just two years, rising from $26.1 million to $49.1 million, while the number of acts who have grossed over $100 million has increased from 10 to 14. Rankings are based on global figures reported to Billboard Boxscore as of 10 September 2026, counting only headline shows (not festivals) plus 50% of co-headline grosses, reflecting the genre's long history of touring collaborations such as Jay-Z with Kanye West and Eminem with 50 Cent. Eligibility is limited to artists who have charted on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with genre-straddling acts like Doja Cat and Post Malone only counted for their hip-hop-specific tours.
