For some reason the trend online is revolving around the year 2016.

Could there really be that many Chicago Cub fans who want to relive the season where they finally won their first World Series in 108 years?

Or could it just be general nostalgia of thinking about what went down a decade ago and how much things have changed?

To add to that throwback, here are the top ten grossing concert tours of 2016.

10. Celine Dion, Summer Tour 2016

Supporting her Encore un soir, album, her first en François LP in the four years.

The record and tour came on the heels of grieving over her husband René Angélil's dying in January after a long battle with throat cancer. They had been married 22 years. He had first been diagnosed in 2000.

The shows relied heavily on material from the new record and of course some English-language hits later in the set.

She also wowed the crowd with two dramatic covers: Prince's "Purple Rain" and Queen's "The Show Must Go On."

Dion toured with her longtime musical director Scott Price and a large group of musicians and singers who delivered on both the pop and orchestral arrangements.

The album went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package in 2017. Pas mal.

9. Madonna, Rebel Heart Tour

Reminding the globe subtilely, as is her way, the second song on the 82-stop Rebel Heart Tour was "Bitch I’m Madonna." Does that set the tone?

The Material Girl had eight costume changes through the four acts with outfits by Jeremy Scott for Moschino, Alessandro Michele for Gucci, Alexander Wang, Prada, Miu Miu, and Lebanese designer Nicolas Jebran.

The show was broken up into genres/looks/influences from Joan of Arc to Rockabilly to Latin and finishing up with Flapper.

Right before the encore, during “Unapologetic Bitch,” Madonna invited a fan onstage for a sweet lil dance that ended with her handing them a... banana.

Some of the celebrity guests who were treated with the fruit included Jessica Chastain, Anderson Cooper, Idris Elba, Nelly Furtado, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Ariana Grande (video above), Mercy James, Stella McCartney, and Rita Ora.

8. Garth Brooks, Garth Brooks 2016 World Tour

Whoever told Garth Brooks in 2016 that he should put together a 10-disc box set to celebrate his years of dominance in country music was very wise.

Not sure if putting it out near the end of the 2016 World Tour was so wise, but it happened, and it included his new album, Gunslinger, his first studio album of entirely new material since 2014’s Man Against Machine.

In the summer of 2016 he performed two sold out shows at New York's Yankee Stadium. He became the first country artist to play the House that Ruth Built.

Garth will be hitting the road this year in stadiums in the US and the UK. Tickets available via his website.

7. Paul McCartney, One on One Tour

Paul did 77 shows for the tour that included a show at Fenway Park was when rocked out “Helter Skelter” alongside Bob Weir as Rob Gronkowski "danced."

Later in the tour at Desert Trip he was joined by Neil Young for “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?”

While he was in the high country of Southern California, he even stopped in at Pappy & Harriet's to blow minds and make memories.

One very special guest on that desert excursion included Rihanna for "FourFiveSeconds," whom he introduced as The Empress of Barbados.

6. Justin Bieber, Purpose World Tour

The last time Biebs performed over 100 concerts in a year was in 2016 when his Purpose Tour made nearly 150 stops around the globe.

The Canadian heartthrob who had turned 22 that year sold over 2.5 million tickets to the tour while the #1 singles “Sorry,” “What Do You Mean?”, and “Love Yourself,” propelled the Purpose album to sell 10 million units worldwide.

Fun fact: opening for JB for the North American leg of the tour, supporting his White Iverson album was Post Malone.

5. Adele, Live 2016 Tour

Like Beebs, the last time Adele performed over 100 shows in a year was 2016, when she knocked out 115 during her Live 2016-2017 world tour.

Supporting 25, the album she had released in 2015 which went #1 everywhere thanks to the enormous hit, "Hello," it was the singer's first full global soiree since 2011.

It was also the last time she would even entertain something of that magnitude. The closest she has gotten since that was 55 shows in 2023.

The crown jewel stop was probably the four night run at Wembley Stadium, her largest shows to date, where fans not only got to hear the new wax, the James Bond theme, and her Dylan cover, but older hits including “Rolling in the Deep,” “Someone Like You,” and “Set Fire to the Rain.”

4. Guns N’ Roses, Not in This Lifetime Tour

This was the tour that got the band back together as it marked the first time since 1993 that Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan toured together after a 23-year estrangement.

The tour kicked off in 2016 and went on until the pandemic. The first show was a surprise warm-up gig at the Troubadour in Los Angeles in April 2016, followed immediately by a headlining spot at Coachella.

Where did the name come from? In 2012 Axl was asked if the core group would ever get back together. The singer sighed, “not in this lifetime."

Seemingly thrilled to be reunited, many of the shows lasted three hours. Welcome back to the jungle.

Guns is touring the world again starting in March. Grab tix off their website.

3. Coldplay, A Head Full of Dreams Tour

Coldplay's 2016-2017 tour was pretty evenly split with 64 shows in 2016 and 58 the following year to support the band's seventh studio album which was released in 2015.

Chris Martin and his crew kicked 2017 off spectacularly as Beyoncé, Bruno Mars and Coldplay were the Super Bowl halftime entertainment. To celebrate the Big Game's 50th anniversary, Coldplay paid tribute to the halftime entertainers that came before them. Classy.

Fans filled stadiums around the world for Coldplay who raked in over a half billion in ticket sales. New songs like "Adventure of a Lifetime,” “Hymn for the Weekend,” and “Up&Up,” were mixed in nicely with classics such as “Yellow,” “Fix You,” and “Viva La Vida.”

And as bands are now nearly required to do, Coldplay announced they'd probably not ever do huge tours again. We all know two people who attended a Coldplay show last summer at Gillette Stadium who probably wish they kept that promise.

2. Beyoncé, The Formation World Tour

Okay ladies, now let's get in formation.

Immediately after the Super Bowl halftime performance, the Formation Tour was announced in support of Lemonade, the groundbreaking album which debuted at #1 on Billboard.

The record went on to win two Grammy Awards... but not Album of the Year, to the shock of everyone including Adele, whose 25 beat it and when she accepted it, cried, telling Bey how much she loved her and the LP.

The tour was 49 shows around the US, UK, and Europe. The sold out stadiums including two-night runs at Wembley, Soldier Field, Citi Field, Levi's Stadium, made it the most successful tour of her career.

But it was a far more powerful presentation than just song and dance. The production included political themes, including references to Black identity, feminism, police violence, and Southern Black culture -- which would carry through to tours she would have going forward.

Four acts plus a long encore. 30+ song setlist per night. Proof that Beyoncé was more than enough to capture the audience's attention, the only stop where she had special guests were one night at the MetLife Stadium where her hubby Jay-Z did "Drunk in Love" with her, and Kendrick Lamar popped out during the encore for "Freedom."

1. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, The River Tour 2016

Celebrating the 35th anniversary of Bruce's only double album, the 1980 epic, The River, that delivered the Boss' first Top 5 single, "Hungry Heart."

The original River Tour ran for 140 dates, the 2016 puppy went a little more than half that at 75.

The format was simple: Bruce and the E. Street Band blasted through the entire 20-song album, then knocked out about 15 of his most hard rocking greatest hits as a second half of the night.

That pace was possible because The River contains some of the most stark, haunting slow-tempo tunes like "Point Blank," "Stolen Car" and "Drive All Night."

After the emotional rollercoaster that is that album, a dance party was definitely in order. And it was delivered.

Probably the most notable stop on the tour were the three nights they played at the LA Sports Arena, which was due to be demolished not long after his final show there.

Bruce affectionally called the 20k seat arena on the outskirts of the USC campus, "The Dump," a nickname that was clearly loving as of all the venues he played in LA, at 34 visits, it was his most frequent, by a lot.

So naturally the first song he played during the encore of the third night at The Dump That Jumps, was "Wrecking Ball."
