Jason Aldean (No. 8), Eric Church (No. 11), Lady Antebellum (No. 12), Brad Paisley (No. 14) and Rascal Flatts (No. 19) all made the top 20 on Pollstar's Worldwide Ticket Sales chart, which ranks the top-grossing tours of 2012.

Listed seventh, Kenny Chesney's and Tim McGraw's Brothers of the Sun tour takes the title of the top country tour, selling 1.09 million tickets last year.

Kenny's 2013 tour mate Eric attributes a lot of his success to building a solid fan base on the road, and he says he wouldn't have it any other way.

Other country stars on the list include Zac Brown Band, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, Blake Shelton, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.
