Beyonce - Aka Mrs Carter - Tops Stereoboard's Top 10 Hot Tickets Chart

Stereoboard's Top 10 Hot Tickets chart returns once again this week, and it's former Destiny's Child star Beyonce who has lept to the top – climbing from #10 to #1.
The superstar announced her return to music earlier this year, having taken a while out to spend time with her and Jay-Z's child Blue Ivy. Now, she's back with her brand new 'Mrs Carter Show' world tour, and over one million of you tried to snap up tickets for her UK gigs this week.
Climbing one place this week was X Factor boyband One Direction, who just kicked off their Take Me Home tour last week. Despite taking a shoe to the balls in Glasgow earlier this week, Harry Styles and co will still be performing across the country throughout spring, and there's still a few tickets about - so don't miss out if you're a fan!
Not content with letting his wife take all the headlines, Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake have helped Wireless Festival reach #3 this week, ahead of the event this July. Also featuring the likes of Snoop Dogg, Emeli Sande, Rita Ora, John Legend, Kendrick Lamar, and more, it's set to be a wicked weekend.
The boss himself Bruce Springsteen topped the Hot Tickets chart back in December when tickets for his Wrecking Ball stadium tour – which takes place in summer later this year – went on sale. Now, he's back in chart at #4 following the announcement that he'd be opening the brand new Leeds Arena.
Climbing two places and completing our Top 5 is Canadian superstar Justin Bieber, following a late surge from fans to buy tickets. He's also currently half way through his UK tour – follow the link to find tickets if you fancy catching him before he jets back to Canada!
On the other half of the Top 10, we’ve got Pink, who returns to the #6 spot after a week absent from the chart. She's followed by Robbie Williams, who also returns to the chart after topping it at the end of 2012. He tours UK stadiums this summer.
Rounding off the rest of the chart are last week's winners Fleetwood Mac, violinist Andre Rieu - one of the biggest selling live acts in the world – and Brendan O'Carroll's BAFTA award-winning sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys, which returns to the stage throughout spring.
Next week's chart could see some interesting additions, with big names like Hawaiian singer Bruno Mars, Pink Floyd star Roger Waters, and multi-million selling Californian Josh Groban having to compete with both V Festival and Creamfields. Who do you think will make the Top 10? Let us know your predictions in the comment box.
