Tim, Faith set tour mark

The tour, which comprised 73 concerts in 55 cities, was the most attended concert tour this year, in any musical genre. Hill and McGraw grossed just shy of $89 million dollars, more than 40 percent of the previous high of $62 million set by Kenny Chesney and is currently the top grossing tour of any musical genre for 2006.

McGraw and Hill were the only country music tour to ever sell-out three consecutive nights at The Staples Center in Los Angeles. The show was the most attended country music tour ever at 17 concert venues, including New York�s Madison Square Garden.

The tour concluded with three consecutive performances at Las Vegas� Mandalay Bay. Soul2Soul II started April 21 in Columbus, Ohio. The tour played consecutive dates at 13 concert venues, including New York City, Boston, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Chicago, a record at each venue for country music tours this year.

�We have been blessed over the past several months to have the opportunity to do what it is that we love to do most,� said McGraw and Hill in a joint statement. �We�ve spent time with the most passionate and professional individuals in the business (our crew), we�ve seen the beauty that is our country and we�ve been honored to have had the chance to meet so many fans along the way. It�s an experience that could be difficult to replicate.�
