James Arthur Jumps To #1 On Stereboard’s Hot Ticket Chart

November 11 2016 Laura Johnson Leave a comment

James Arthur has beaten off some stiff competition to get to #1 on Stereoboard’s Hot Ticket Chart this week. Following closely behind him are Radiohead, The Weeknd, Phil Collins and Take That. That’s some impressive company to be in!

The entry of so many new faces to the chart has meant a bit of a re-jig. Ariana Grande has been bumped from #2 to #8 and Justin Bieber has fallen six places. But things are looking up for Coldplay, who are up four places, and Little Mix have done well to only move down one spot.

The big name tours have continued to come through thick and fast this week. There are tickets going on sale for Robbie Williams, Blink 182, Cliff Richard, Blossoms and James Bay, among many, many others. Check in with us next week to see if any have been able to steal the top spot from the 2012 X Factor winner.
