Billboard releases top 10 concert tours of the year

With just a few days left in 2010, Billboard has unveiled the top 10 tours of the year.

Seriously Taylor Swift tickets were #15 and Justin Bieber tickets came in at #20…we’re fairly certain you guys would disagree!

2. U2 – 22 shows, all U2 tickets were sold out
3. AC/DC – 28 shows, 28 chances to grab AC/DC tickets
